Bottom line
Küat's Transfer v2 is a platform hitch rack available in one, two, or three-bike versions with an optional single-bike add-on. The rack accommodates 18" to 29" wheels, 50" wheelbases, and 5" tires, but bikes with fenders won't fit. Weight capacity and hitch compatibility vary but are clearly laid out on the product webpage. Experts praise the Transfer's ease of use, versatility, and stability when mounted. The main complaint is the hard-to-reach tilt lever and the poor handlebar clearance when the rack is tilted. Overall, experts deem the Transfer v2 an attractive offering at this price.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
