NSFW Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm thinking of getting a North Shore NSR-4 bike rack and I'm wondering if my OBXT will handle 4 downhill bikes (~45 pounds each) without a ridiculous amount of sag, or tearing off the hitch mount. It's got a 2" hitch, but still... that could be close to 200 pounds of bikes, hanging a couple feet out past the bumper. Vertical racks like the NSR series might hold the bikes closer than a tray-style rack... but still... Plus I'm curious about fit in general, even just with a 2-bike rack (NSR-2) if 4 turns out to be too much. So if you're rocking an NSR series rack, or any other vertical-style bike rack, I'd love to know how that's working out for you. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Talking to myself, just for posterity... I found a max tongue weight spec of 200 pounds. 4 bikes plus a rack would exceed that, and given the extra leverage (bike and rack hanging out beyond the bumper) I think two DH bikes would probably be the limit. Will probably get the 4x rack and just limit it to two DH bikes or three ordinary bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
