80 lb per Bike

The RSD2 is built for couples, solo riders hauling a spare, or anyone who wants premium rack quality without paying for capacity they won't use. It's also the right choice if your vehicle's tongue weight limits you to two bikes — you get the full RSD platform without overloading your hitch.
If you need more capacity later, the RSD2 shares the same hitch base and mast as our larger models. You're buying into a system, not a dead end.

How it works

Build your rack in 3 steps.

1. Choose your cradles.

Mix Standard, XL, and Handlebar cradles so every bike gets the right fit.

2. Pick your color and hitch size.

Two colors, two hitch lengths. All included — no extra cost.

3. We build and ship free.

Your custom configuration, assembled and shipped to your door.

Everything is included in the price. No hidden fees, no add-on cradles, no adapter purchases.

Product Description

Two positions. Zero compromises. The RSD2 is a hitch-mounted bike rack built on the same overbuilt platform as our 4- to 8-bike models — just sized for riders who don't need the extra capacity.

Every position is rated to 80 lbs individually, not averaged. That means two heavy e-bikes ride just as confidently as two road bikes. The RSD2 accepts Standard wheel cradles, XL cradles for plus-size tires, or one OTB handlebar cradle for a smaller bike — all on the same rack. Choose your hitch length, pick your color, and we build it to your exact spec.

It's the same powder-coated steel construction, the same foot-activated tilt latch, and the same lifetime warranty. Just fewer positions and a lower price point.

FAQ
Can I mix different cradle types on the same rack?

Yes — that's the whole idea. You can combine Standard Wheel, XL Wheel, and OTB Handlebar cradles in any configuration that fits your rack. Going on a trip with all adult bikes? All Standard cradles. Weekend with the kids? Add some Handlebar cradles. You configure it when you order, and you can swap cradles later in about 10 minutes.

What is the OTB Handlebar Cradle?

The OTB holds your bike by the handlebars instead of the wheels — two padded arms cradle the bar and the bike hangs vertically. Tire size doesn't matter, so it's the go-to for fat bikes over 5" wide, bikes with fenders, cargo bikes, kids' bikes, or anything that doesn't fit a standard wheel cradle. The configurator shows you exactly which positions support OTB cradles.

Can the rack handle e-bikes?

Absolutely. At 80 lbs per bike — and tested well beyond that — e-bikes are well within the RSD's capability. If your e-bike has wider tires, just spec an XL Wheel Cradle for that position.

What bikes fit in the XL Wheel Cradle?

The XL Wheel Cradle accommodates tires up to 26" × 5.0" or 27.5" × 4.5". That covers fat bikes, most plus-size tires, and heavy-duty e-bike tires. If your tire is wider than what the XL fits, the OTB Handlebar Cradle is your best option — it fits virtually any bike regardless of tire width.

Does the rack clear a spare tire on my Jeep or Bronco?

Yes. The RSD system is designed with rear-mounted spare tire clearance built in. No extra adapter or extension needed.

Does it include a hitch lock or bike lock?

Every rack includes a stabilizer clamp. The threaded locking hitch pin (to lock your rack to your car) and cable lock set to lock your bikes to your rack) are available as optional accessories.
