The CURT ActiveLink Ultra Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack is designed for customers who want a premium, easier-to-use way to carry bikes using a vehicle's rear hitch receiver. Built around CURT's ActiveLink attachment system, this bike rack helps make installation, removal, and accessory swapping more convenient than a traditional hitch-mounted rack. It is a strong choice for riders, families, campers, and outdoor travelers who want secure bike transport with less setup frustration.
The ActiveLink system is the key advantage of this rack. Instead of forcing customers to support the full rack weight while trying to line up hitch pin holes from underneath the vehicle, the ActiveLink shank provides an integrated resting point that helps the rack align more easily. This makes the bike rack more manageable for customers who install and remove their rack often or switch between compatible hitch-mounted accessories.
The Ultra design is built for customers who want more refinement from their bike-carrying setup. Premium cradles help accept different bike frame tube sizes while keeping bikes supported during travel. A rubber bumper pad on the vertical support tube helps protect bikes from scuffs and scratches, giving customers more confidence when hauling bikes to trailheads, campgrounds, parks, vacation stops, and weekend ride locations.
This rack can carry up to four bikes with a total weight capacity of up to 180 lbs. and can also be used in a two-bike configuration when fewer bikes are needed. That flexibility makes it useful for solo rides, couples, family trips, and group outings without requiring a different rack for each travel situation. Customers should always confirm bike weight, frame compatibility, hitch rating, vehicle rating, and rear clearance before loading.
Everyday convenience is also built into the rack. The tilt-away feature allows easier access to the rear cargo area when the rack is unloaded, which is helpful for SUVs, crossovers, vans, and other vehicles with rear hatch or liftgate access. The upper arms fold down when bikes are not loaded, helping reduce the rack's profile for storage, parking, or driving between rides.
Steel construction gives the rack a strong foundation for regular travel, while the dual E-coat and carbide black powder coat finish helps protect it from outdoor conditions. Anti-rattle features help reduce noise and movement during transport, and the integrated handle makes removal and carrying easier. Whether customers are upgrading for trail riding, family bike trips, camping weekends, outdoor recreation, road trips, or easier hitch-mounted bike transport, the CURT ActiveLink Ultra Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack delivers premium bike-carrying convenience with secure ActiveLink attachment and practical travel-ready features.
