Auto Racks

Three possible height settings at 6-inch increments. Three different usable pin spacings to help avoid obstacles on trike frames. Uses ball bungee to secure rear tire.
Use this with a 2-inch receiver hitch. A 200 pound tongue load rated hitch is not strong enough for this carrier. Use of any other mounting could result in damage to vehicle and equipment.

Product Notes:

• Rack weighs 30 pounds.
• The ingenious "Alpaca Cinch Straps" provide secure mounting in many non-standard frame tube shapes and styles.
• A 1 1/4" hitch version of this rack can be special ordered by calling 800-233-4340. (Because of leverage, the load needs to be limited to 100 pounds with the 1 1/4" receiver hitches.)
• Warning: Use this carrier with receiver hitches bolted directly to the frame of the vehicle or to a bumper or hitch with a 300 pound or higher tongue load rating.
• Stock version does not work with HP Velotechnik Scorpion full suspension trikes, as the pin spacing interferes with the stabilizer bar on the trike. Alpaca will have a special version of this rack available for HP Velotechnik Scorpion full suspension trikes.

Conceived for road trips, family group rides and expeditions in the backcountry, we took the best platform rack on the market and increased it. Expand your vehicle’s carry capacity (and your circle of friends) up to four bikes with the NV 2.0 Add-Ons.

Hands full? Not a problem. The new pivot allows you to gently drop the NV with a tap of the foot so you can get your ride on the rack without lifting a finger.

Seamlessly integrated locks—long enough to fit any frame—make sure your bike stays off Craigslist while you enjoy that post-ride beer stop. And when you’re ready to roll again, they stow right back into the rack.

Bikes not wanting to share space nicely? Easily dial in the fit with adjustable tire scoops. Three positions to choose from so handlebar and seat post clearance is never an issue.

With just a twist of the cam, you’ll have a snug-tight fit between hitch and rack. The good news: it’s ridiculously quick and easy. The better news: no wobbling even on the roughest roads.
