This seems like an awesome idea and I have a decked system in my truck so a tailgate pad is out now…trade offs. I currently have fork mounts in my bed rails which is fine but kind of limiting and a pain in the ass.
That said, there are like zero reviews on this system yet they say that they have 1 million in sales…
Anyone have one? Thoughts on quality and value? I feel like I should see more of them on the road id they were actually good…

One of the bike parks in our area uses trailers behind shuttles with something pretty similar. From what I’ve seen it works a treat as long as the rear wheel is properly secured but heard some horror stories of some bikes hopping out on bumpy roads.. Don’t see any photos of how the back wheel is secured depending on length of the bike which makes me a little skeptical.
Hopefully someone with experience with this model can chime in but definitely seems like a niche within a niche product
Not a single review but $1 mil in sales is a huge red flag. Why wouldn’t you do the tailgate pad? I have the RaceFace one and it’s perfect. And how many bikes do you need it for?
They have the fork mounts like you mentioned, but if money wasn’t a factor, and I didn’t want to remove my front tire, I’d get the Hovr Bike Rack from Freedom Coast.
Edit: Did a quick Google search and couldn’t find a single review from anyone other than themselves. Did see a post on MTBR though, horrible first impression, straight up lied on their very first post, claiming to not be from Multyrack, then compounded the problem by lying again with some nonsense story about it being from someone not affiliated with the company … Maybe they’re legit and it’s a great product, but I’d let someone else be the guinea pig. The $1 mil in sales is an obvious lie though, and so was their post on MTBR.
Why not just get a hitch rack like the north shore or similar if you need to haul that many bikes?
