Simple to use, the tow rope attaches over the stem for quick use, or around the stem for longer climbs.
Bike Racks
________
Sometimes - most times - the trailhead doesn't start right at the front door. We have bike racks that work for all sizes of bikes.
Hitch mounted racks
If you're transporting multiple bikes, e-bikes, or full suspension bikes, look no further than a hitch mounted rack.
Securely attached to your vehicle and take seconds to install. There are a variety of styles to fit your vehicle, bike, and budget. Some racks secure the bikes through the frame of the bike and there are also options that secure by the wheel to avoid any contact with the frame. Carry up to 5 bikes, and some models conveniently fold up and swing out so you still have full access to the trunk of your vehicle.
Trunk mounted racks
A perfect solution for vehicles without a hitch. Trunk mounted bike racks are secure, easy to install, and a great option for those without hitches.
Carry up to 3 bikes that secure your bike by the frame. For kids' bikes or smaller sized bikes, an adapter bar will allow for use of this style of bike rack!
Pick-up & spare tire mounts
If you're the owner of a truck, a pick-up pad is a convenient way to transport bikes of all sizes! Protect both your bike and your pick-up with adjustable padded protection. Whether you're carrying one bike or seven, pick-up pads offer a secure way to transport your bikes with tie-downs and adjustable straps. Installation and removal of your bikes is quick and easy to get you and your family hitting trails as quick as possible!
