ZelleThis is quite possibly the best bike rack on the market. The owner of this company is an engineer who saw problems with all the major vertical bike racks and fixed them so he could have the bike rack he wanted. Made in Utah 100%.
This retails for $1400 new for just the base rack, but at $950 this comes with $200+ in extras as well! In fantastic condition with low miles on it carrying my family's bikes to NICA races and a few outings.
Extras include:\
- 8 regular bike hoops\
- 1 interchangeable hoop for snow bikes or bikes with extra large tires \
-1 kid bike holder you can swap in for a smaller framed bike\
- Regular arm OR XL arm if you want to make sure you can open your truck bed or Sprinter van doors without dropping the rack\
- Foot release mechanism for easy release with hands full\
- Lock to keep bikes safe\
- More
If you're thinking about Velocirax, JB Racks, vertical Revert Thule racks, Lolo Racks, or Hang tight racks from Yakima, Alta Racks or any others this rack is worthwhile.

Here's my honest review that I put on Google: Absolutely bomber bike rack and the best-looking rack on the market. I have 6 kids who are biking age and this is the first substantial bike rack I've found that will carry bikes for all 8 of us.
You even have the option of getting kid-bike specific carriers if you want, but all my kids are old enough that the standard wheel basket works best for us. Smallest bike we have is 24" wheels, for reference.
With 8 spots, our bikes are still pristine when we hit the trailhead and don't rub on each other en route. The angled tire cradles really help keep the bikes in place. So do the optional stabilizer straps.
Added bonus: the XL version allows me to fully open the doors on my Sprinter van in loading and loading position without dropping the rack to the ground like I have to do with Velocirax.
Also, I've found something about the rack's build makes it WAY easier to get up and down despite the lack of hydraulics that supposedly make it easier on Velocirax. I can push up a full rack by myself, but have had to enlist my son to help sometimes with the old rack.
It's rated to a higher weight capacity than the Velocirax too, so I can now take along my eBike without worry.
Actually had a bike shop owner ask me how to get one when he saw it, shocked at the build quality on an 8-bike rack.
Small niggles: it's not as fast to mount as Velocirax so it's less likely you'll want to take it on and off through biking season, though for me it stays on until snow hits so this is a small issue.
Also, while I love the angled tire holders, if you don't drop it to loading position, it is slightly tougher to load too. Small tradeoffs for the benefits though! Best rack I've found.
