Komodo Bike Rack

Vacuum cups are specialized suction devices that create a strong seal against a surface, allowing the bike rack to attach securely to your car without traditional mounting hardware. They work by removing air between the cup and the surface, creating a vacuum that holds the cup in place. This technology ensures that your bike rack stays attached while driving, providing a safe and stable transport solution.

A fork-mount bike carrier secures your bike by clamping down on the front fork, which is the part of the bike that holds the front wheel. You will need to remove the front wheel and insert the fork into the carrier. This design is particularly effective for road bikes with quick-release front wheels, ensuring a stable and secure transport method.

Pull strength-rated refers to the maximum amount of force that the vacuum cups can withstand before losing their grip. For our bike rack, the vacuum cups are rated at 210 pounds, meaning they can hold that much weight without detaching. This rating is crucial for safety, as it ensures that your bike remains securely attached to your vehicle during transport.

An aluminum frame is important because it offers a great strength-to-weight ratio. This means the bike rack is sturdy enough to hold your bike securely while being lightweight enough for easy handling and installation. If you’re looking for a durable product that is also easy to transport and store, an aluminum frame is an excellent choice.

A ratcheting strap uses a mechanism to tighten and secure items in place. In the context of a bike rack, the ratcheting strap holds the bike's rear wheel securely, preventing it from moving during transport. This feature adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that your bike remains stable and protected while being carried, giving you peace of mind on the road.

While fork-mount bike carriers are particularly effective for road bikes and bikes with quick-release front wheels, they may not be suitable for all types of bikes, such as those with fenders or certain mountain bikes. It's important to check compatibility with your specific bike model before purchasing to ensure a secure fit and safe transport.
