Most Racks Are Awful.
Six reasons your last rack is sitting in the garage right now.
We got tired of every one of these. So we built the one that isn't.
The Lightest Vertical Hitch Bike Rack We Could Engineer.
Built for families who'd rather be on the trail than wrestling gear in the driveway.
We built Chuck because every rack we'd ever owned failed at something. Too heavy to lift alone. Too wide for the kid's bike. Too long for the garage. Too stubborn to tilt when loaded. So we engineered the opposite.
Chuck hangs your bikes vertically by the handlebars, which means fat bikes, road bikes, kids' bikes, and e-bikes all fit the same way. No adapters. No tray adjustments.
Just 27 pounds of powder-coated aluminum, light enough to mount solo, strong enough for four bikes (six with extenders). It folds flat when you're done, so your garage stays a garage. And when winter hits, the same base post swaps to our ski and snowboard carrier, the Chuck Bucket.
Load up and go. That's the whole idea.
Every Part Of Chuck Solves Something Other Racks Won't.
Engineered from the ground up to fix what the rest of the industry gave up on.
Handlebar-Hang System
No wheel contact. No frame rub. No tire-size adapters.
Most racks grip your bike somewhere that fights you. Chuck hangs every bike by the handlebars. Rubber-guarded hooks clamp just inside the stem, your tires never touch the rack, and your frame stays untouched. Because every bike has bars, every bike fits the same way: mountain, road, gravel, kids', fat bikes, e-bikes.
Powder-Coated Aluminum Build
27 lbs. One hand. Zero help.
Traditional tray racks run 50–80 lbs because they're built out of steel. Chuck is 27 lbs of powder-coated aluminum, strong enough to hold 280 lbs of bikes, light enough that one person mounts it, loads it, and pulls it off without a spouse, a friend, or a trip to the chiropractor.
Fold-Flat Storage
Stores flat. Stores clean.
Chuck folds flat against the wall, or tucks behind the shelving, and disappears until you need it again.
Two-Stage Tilt (Up to 90°)
Full trunk access, even fully loaded.
Four bikes hanging and you need to grab the cooler? Chuck's two-stage tilt drops the whole system away from the trunk, up to 90°, without unloading a single bike.
Anti-Wobble Hitch Mount
Rock-solid at highway speeds.
Chuck's anti-wobble hitch stud tightens the rack to your receiver. No play, no rattle. One customer ran Chuck over 5,000 miles. Another took it 2,000 miles to Ragbrai.
Modular Base Post (Bike ↔ Ski Swap)
Same rack. Bikes in summer, skis in winter.
Chuck's base post stays in your hitch. The rack itself swaps out, and bikes come off, the Chuck Bucket ski and snowboard carrier slides on. One hitch mount, one system, all four seasons.
Rubber-Guarded Contact Points
Built to hold your bikes without hurting them.
Every point where Chuck touches your bike has a rubber guard. No metal-on-paint, no spoke pressure, no rim damage.
Chuck Goes On In Minutes. Bikes Load In Seconds.
No tools you don't already have. No second person required. No YouTube tutorials needed.
Slide the base post into your 2" hitch receiver. Drop in the hitch pin. Clip the safety.
Give the anti-wobble stud a few turns with the included allen key. Rock-solid, no rattle.
Lift the rack (27 lbs, one hand does it) onto the base post. Lock it in.
That's it. Total time: about 60 seconds.
Pick up the bike the way you always would.
Hook the bars over Chuck's rubber-guarded cradle. Every bike, same motion.
Loop the included wheel straps. Done. Repeat up to 4 times, then hit the road.
One Hitch Mount. Every Season.
Meet the Chuck Bucket, the snowboard and ski carrier that swaps onto the same base post as your bike rack. One system. All year. Zero garage clutter.
Same mount. Same family. Different sport.
When the snow starts falling, most families have two choices: cram the skis into the back of the SUV (and lose the cargo space you actually need) or buy a second roof rack (and spend another weekend installing it).
Chuck doesn't make you choose.
The Chuck Bucket holds up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards, and it mounts on the exact same base post your bike rack uses all summer. Pull the bike rack off. Slide the Bucket on. Done. Your hitch never has to know the season changed.
Same aluminum build. Same fold-flat storage. Same anti-wobble hitch stud. The only thing different is what you're hauling.
And because both pieces share the same base, we put together a bundle that makes it cheaper to grab them together than to buy one now and the other later.
Want even more room? The Chuck Bucket XL opens 12"×24" and holds 10–12 pairs of skis. See bundle savings when you pick your setup below.
The Families Who Actually Own It Keep Saying The Same Thing.
"Never going back."
"I took this rack on a trip that exceeded my 4,000 mile estimate, going just over 5,000 miles. It performed very well. Customer service was fantastic, like nothing I've ever experienced. These guys care."
"Just came back from Ragbrai using Chuck's 6-bike rack. Over 2,000 miles driven and this thing held our bikes like a champ. Awesome product."
"We've owned the Chuck rack 2 years now. We used to have a heavy tray rack and it was such a pain not only to load but take off our car. Never going back."
"I've been racking bikes and skis on cars since the mid-80s. I have used almost everything. The Chuck system is my favorite so far."
"The Chuck rack is the most versatile bike rack I've ever owned."
"This is an awesome product. 10/10 if you're active year round on the mountains."
