I love my Mach 2 rack. It was a 6 month wait. It is pricey but the last rack I will ever have to buy. Super easy to install. No tools. Bikes are so stable. Love it. Good review, thank you.
Great review of the Mach 2. It’s convinced me to save up and buy this instead of the 1up Super Duty. The ease of install and removal, modularity, and compactness have sold me.
Ordered this rack and it took exactly 2 months to arrive (2" hitch, dual rack, ramp, wheel locks, license plate attachment). Added the Curt 4 way aux lights and used velcro on the Mach2 rack so I can move the lights around as needed depending 1-2 racks are used or in the up/down position. Drove from Denver to ABQ with a single Mach2 rack with my newly purchased 88lbs full suspension 4.8" fat tire mid-drive Himiway Cobra Pro with zero issues at hwy speeds of 75-85 mph.
I just placed my order today! It’s about a 6 WEEK wait now. I have a Wired Freedom ebike arriving around the same time. I feel like a kid @ 🎅🏼🎁🎄 Christmas! Great review. Thank you.
Worth saving up for! No tools or parts to take off when using the ramp (imagine losing those at the trail head) and the ramp can be mounted to rack. All my issues with the 1Up were solved with this. Definitely expensive but its the last rack I'll have to purchase. Great review!
Yeah my garage is a bit smaller than the standard garage (for whatever reason) as it's a condo unit. Well, I do have a tool box stand in front of my SUV, so the space between the rear of the SUV and garage door will be tight for a bike rack. I really appreciate this video (and your other ones on bike racks). I am shopping for a single bike rack for an analog mountain bike that I can remove the bike rack after every ride if necessary.
I did the same with Mach 2 rack and Curt aux lights. I added several velcro strips to the back of the LED strips and each Mach 2 rack. I can quickly move the LED lights if I have one tray, two trays, two trays+Mach2 ramp, and if the rack(s) are up or down.
@@mrgold3591 great idea. I used round led taillights and zip tied to outer rack. I left the wire long so I can just use that tray last. I only have 2 trays and probably won’t purchase any more. I definitely feel safer with the added lights though
are you certain the weight capacity is 70 pounds each bike if mounting two bikes? the chart i looked at said the first two bikes can be 120 pounds each. that is 240 pounds weight capacity for the first two bikes.
Really torn between the 1up Super Duty and the QuickrStuff. The price difference for me is $425. (Super Duty 2 platform with ebike wheel add on $733, QuikrStuff 2 platform $1158). I ride rarely and will be taking off my rack after every single use. Also love the storage of the QuikR rack and how it folds perfectly 90 degrees. The easy modular removal of the second platform is great too because otherwise, I have an awkward angle to load my heavy 65lb ebike onto the platform closest to the vehicle with the outside platform sticking in the way. I'm already stretching my budget to get the Super Duty. I hate having to spend another +58% cost). On the other hand, I plan to use my racks maybe 10x a year and want as compact a storage solution in my garage as possible.
@@EMTBReview Thanks. The problem is, my usage requires 1) removing often when not in use 2) configuring for one platform a lot 3) compact storage. It all points to the Quickrstuff 2! I’ll just have to earn more money
Your reviews are so good. When researching which rack to buy, I watched around 20 video reviews, but most were lacked a single cogent thought, let alone a trustworthy recommendation. Your reviews, those by "Shredding Spree", and the fantastic Piston Pro X review by "GREYWOLF MTB" were what saved the day for me. In the end, I chose the QuikrStuff Mach2.
Great video’s bro. I am planning on investing in either the 1up super duty (single with add on or double, not sure yet) OR the quickrstuff mach 2 with the add on. For now all I have is a size large analog 29” mtb with plans of investing in an e-mtb for myself and possibly an e-mtb for my kid which will be a smaller tire size for now I believe. I plan on not leaving the rack on my vehicle but I also don’t want to worry about it being stolen if I do leave it on. Which one should I go with? Thanks in advance. ALSO! Do u know if quickrstuff is coming out with a new model anytime soon? Have you had any problems with the locks on the quickrstuff?
@@youngbull0 they are working well. Only used it a few times but I’m happy with it thus far. I actually called them and asked them about the blue handle locking situation and it could be from improper use. They have good customer service. They advise to make sure the key is not in when attaching and/or locking and to also make sure the lock button is not pushed in already when attaching.
1up super duty is so much better. I’ve seen/used both in person and off road. 1up was 100x more stable off road. The new 1up super duty can carry 4 with up to 325lbs. They solved the wobble with the wheel chock. And it’s 500$ cheaper.
Pas mal mais le vélo bouge beaucoup je trouve. En conduisant tranquillement et sur bonne route ça va mais sur une route de montagne en conduite un peu sport 🤔🤔🤔
Very nice review thank you but you did not mention one con with this type of rack that is it will not work well for bikes with fenders mainly on the rear tire. Also it would have been nice to see you load 2 bikes on the double. The 1up's hold down bars don't go all the way to the ground as these do but getting a heavy road ebike on that inner rail can be a real problem so a ramp would be called for. Did you say $250 for a ramp - get out of here. If I were designing one of these ebike racks I would figure out how to have a pivoting loading ramp built into the channels. This expensive thing has limitations including the price point no thanks.
for what we are getting, the price seems really good. people buy several thousand dollar ebikes, and race bikes, having the option/choice of such high quality design is truly wonderful. there is always room for improvement, your design suggestion about a built in ramp could be nice. especially if the choice remained to easily remove the ramp if not needed. i really like what i am seeing here in this design. the only improvement possibility i see is a larger handle for the angle lock release, rather than the small pin. a comfortable handle would possibly be ideal. i’m looking for a bike rack that can hold my 110 pound hyper/super scooters. the chart i read indicate a 120 pound weight capacity for the first two bikes. if i understood the chart correctly. i will contact the company to confirm weight capacity specifications for the first two bikes.
Great pro/cons review 👍 💯 Much improved over 1UP which was a real bitch to lockdown 1 handed. Super stable platform (side to side) especially for full powered Emtbs. 💪 But I always strapped them down at the BB/motor like a moto with rachet straps to minimize front to back jiggle...just another inconvenience.😜 Sold it due poor fat bike tire fitment (my enduro fit great) after 1 month and bought the Kuat NV2 instead due to lack of QuickR availability...which was bad a year ago too! I'm happy with Kuat, but it has just a little side to side sway with absolutely no front to back jiggle...the exact opposite. So, not perfect! For 1k, can't rack manufacturers solve the movement issue to lock down both planes super solidly? Do we really need Elon Musk to create a fix? 😁🍻
Really? Dude, the most important factor with rear mount bike rack is the tongue weight of the hitch and the vehicle. In addition, your Mom can upgrade to the 2" hitch mount for about $130. The company sells the upgrade parts online.
Would be even better if it folded outward rather than inward so without a bike you could fold it away from your trunk to get to the back of the car without banging your knees
Nice rack but man 1200 bucks for a dual? That's a lot of money when you can get a 1 up for 60% of the cost. I guess it does carry 120 pounds but how many e-bikes weigh that much? So essentially $500 dollars more for a few extra conveniences. And to have to wait months to get a rack is not really acceptable. Sounds like they need more staff or a faster manufacturing process.
The price is crazy indeed. Functionality wise, this makes the most sense for the buyer who wants to remove the rack off/on the vehicle ALL the time. That's where this shines over the competition.
I have a Saris SuperClamp 4 rack for my two Radrovers. I was right at the rack's limit at 60lbs each for two ebikes after I removed the battery, rack bag, and suspension seatpost. It wasn't convenient to store or install the +60lbs 4 bike rack Saris, add the anti-rattle hitch tightener, purchase fat tire trays, and prep and then lift the Radrover over to the 3 other positions to the closest tray to the rear hatch for a single ride. After years with the Saris, I started to get a little metal fatigue near the Saris hitch arm where it starts to bend up and it started to bend/stretch. The 120lbs of ebikes probably felt like +200lbs of ebikes over bumps or driving at hwy speeds. Just ordered the QuickrStuff with extra rack for the extra load capacity; which means, I don't have to remove anything off my ebike to load. It will only take me 30 seconds to add a single rack for my solo rides (2 minutes for the 2nd rack for the wife and I for 240lbs of capacity). Planning to upgrade to the Himiway Cobra Pro mid-drive at 90lbs out the box. The Cobra Pro ebike has longer 51" wheelbase and would be too wide for my Saris rack. My other choice was a dirt bike rack and trying to figure out tie down straps.
