Aluminum MX Motorcycle Hitch Carrier

$995.00 USD

Made to Overcome the Challenge of ALL Terrain
Transport for Your Motorcycle with True Peace of Mind

If you need your prized possession to arrive safely to your next ride then rest assured the Rack N Ride Aluminium MX Dirt Bike Hitch Carrier is built to get your dirt bike there safely and securely, no matter how rough the road gets.

Engineered for Strength and Durability in a lighter, easier to install package.

We use a CNC press brake to form the bike channel from 5-gauge aluminum, strength is also increased with 3″ sides compared to the 2.5″ sides on the steel mx version.

Fabricating from a single sheet produces a heavy duty part that will withstand the rigors of back country corrugated roads.

This carrier has been tested in extremely harsh off road conditions in the US and the Australian outback.

Key Features

  • Carrier is 15 lbs. lighter than the MX carrier (with steel channel) whilst maintaining the same strength.
  • Weighs 44 lbs. with the loading ramp removed or 55 lbs. including the ramp.
  • Transport dirt bikes up to 375 lbs.

The main bar is the horizontal arm that extends from your hitch receiver. The standard length will be suitable for most styleside pickups and SUVs. However, you’ll need a longer main bar if you have a:

  • Spare tire on the rear door
  • Rear door with fuel can holders

High Lift Bars (Lift Kits)

Want to tackle the toughest terrain? High lift bars provide extra ground clearance for more challenging off-road adventures.

Benefits of High Lift Bars:

  • Higher ground clearance so the carrier doesn’t bottom out while navigating a narrow down up down creek or washout
  • Enhanced strength and durability because of the reinforced bracing using 4mm Bluescope® steel plate
  • Ideal for serious off-roading in the desert, backcountry, or any challenging terrain

There are 2 High Lift Kits available:  4″ lift or 6″ lift.

Note: With the 4″ lift, in most cases you will be able to drop your tailgate after unloading the bike, with the 6″ lift you probably will not be able to.

Ramp Length:

The ramp helps you easily load your bike onto the carrier. Choose a longer ramp if your vehicle has a lift kit or larger tires.

  • 50″ Ramp (included): Suitable for most standard height SUVs and pickups
  • 60″ Ramp: Ideal for vehicles with a moderate lift kit (2-4 inches) or if the hitch is over 22″ off the ground
