  • Loading and unloading bikes is quick and easy, according to experts.
  • Testers appreciate the straightforward assembly and easy-to-follow instructions.
  • Bikes are secured to the rack by the wheels, so there is no frame contact.
  • The Transfer has an above-average wheel compatible of 18” to 29".
  • Several medium-term owners (one year or more) say the rack is durable.
  • The Transfer v2 folds to reduce the rearward footprint when not in use.
  • All three versions can be expanded with a single-bike add-on (sold separately).

3 reasons not to buy

  • Testers say the tilt lever is awkwardly placed and hard to reach.
  • This rack doesn’t accommodate bikes with fenders.
  • Multiple reviewers and testers say the rack doesn’t tilt down enough for trunk doors to clear the handlebars.

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.
