Adventure Motorcycle Hitch Carrier

$1,395.00 USD

Heavy-Duty 600 lb Capacity
Purpose-Built for Full-Size Adventure & Dual-Sport Motorcycles
Our premium hitch-mounted motorcycle carriers are built from the ground up for extreme durability and off-road reliability. Proudly manufactured in Australia using heavy-gauge, certified structural steel and marine-grade aluminum extrusions, every component is engineered to deliver uncompromised strength, giving you total peace of mind on the roughest terrain. If you own a premium adventure motorcycle, you need transport equipment engineered to match its value. The Rack N Ride Adventure Motorcycle Carrier delivers, and is backed by a 5-year structural warranty.
Engineered Without Compromise

Every part is laser cut to 7.87 thousandths of an inch.

Hitch Tube
  • Internally Reinforced Hitch Tube: Built from genuine BlueScope 2″ square steel tubing (3⁄16″ wall) and fortified with a ½” internal plate, plug-welded for heavy-duty structural reinforcement.
  • Heavy-Duty Structural Connections: Industrial 3-phase production welding secures the ¼” steel mounting plates directly to the hitch tube, serving as rock-solid connection points for the Bike Track assembly.
  • Premium Grade 8 Hardware: Assembled strictly with Grade 8 fasteners—the standard for heavy machinery and military applications—ensuring maximum shear strength.
  • Industrial Finish: Pretreated with an abrasive media blast, followed by a premium, dual-layer (two-step) industrial powder coat for ultimate chip and corrosion resistance.
Motorcycle Track Components
  • Rectangular Tube Center Section: (Powdercoated X15 Ripple Orange) 5″ × 2.5″ × 0.165″ wall 6061-T6 aluminum. This high-strength structural alloy is the industry standard for aerospace framework, marine applications, and heavy-duty machinery.
  • Formed Aluminum Outer Channel: (Powdercoated Textura Black) 0.197″ 5005-H34 aluminum sheet. CNC-formed to provide integrated tire containment, high-rigidity structural reinforcement, and dedicated mounting points for accessories.
Front Wheel Chock System
  • Front Wheel Chock: CNC-formed from 0.197″ 5005-H34 aluminum sheet, accurately positions the motorcycle during loading while providing secure front tire containment. Its aluminum construction delivers excellent rigidity with significantly less weight than comparable steel designs.
  • Structural Track Support Brackets: Precision laser-cut and CNC-formed from 3⁄16″ high-strength steel plate, providing a rigid connection between the Motorcycle Track and Front Wheel Chock for maximum strength and stability.
Multi Point Tie-Down Geometry
  • Five Strategically Positioned Tie-Down Points: Provide secure attachment options for a wide range of motorcycles. Two front eyelets are mounted on the angled support bar, while three rear tie-down points are integrated into the hitch tube. This layout delivers excellent strap geometry while minimizing holes in the structural hitch tube to preserve maximum strength.
  • Optimized Strap Angles: Unlike systems that secure the motorcycle at the extreme front or rear of the track, Rack N Ride’s tie-down points are engineered around the structural hitch tube—the strongest part of the carrier. Positioning the tie-downs close to the carrier’s primary load path minimizes twisting forces on the Motorcycle Track while creating strap angles approaching 90°, providing exceptional stability during transport.
  • Vehicle-Assisted Tie-Down: For maximum stability, the inside straps can also be attached directly to your vehicle’s trailer safety chain attachment points. Securing the motorcycle to the vehicle rather than solely to the carrier reduces movement and creates an exceptionally stable transport system.

Designed for maximum rigidity and strength when transporting full-size adventure motorcycles.
