- Current baskets are rated to 50 pounds. 40 pounds+ and E bikes use E bike straps
- Do not exceed max limit weight, not even by a pound. A ten percent below max weight is a good rule to follow
- Off road and rough road driving exasperates forces on rack significantly. Strapping and brake engagement are key to create a stable system.
- Max two E bike per rack on the GPR loaded around center beam.
- Not ideal for class C RVs. Strapping system is 100 percent required for RVs, longer XL vehicle (Sprinters, and similar vehicles) and anything with stiff rear suspension.

- Perfectly angled for dips in the road and off-road drops. Up to 19 inches clearance from your hitch and the perfect amount of rise.
- Off-road: Upper horizontal bar’s tie down points connects the rack directly to the vehicle to create a super stable rack for rough roads and long travel.
- Slam latch, super secure latch system creates a quick and easy locking and unlocking process for lowering the bikes and locking them in to position.
- Outer Safety Pin (OSP) allow for one handed operation for lower the rack for better loading and unloading process
- Bike brake engagement for solid ride
- Security -locking loop welded to rack-for securing the bikes to the frame of the rack and vehicle
- We do not recommend using the racks on current swing out in the market, they all create major play and do not provide a way to tighten the rack. You will bend the baskets, not covered by warranty.

High quality rack. Secure, yet easy to adjust for quick access to bikes and rear of truck shell. Don’t know how I lived without this.
Calvin Kim –
Overall, very happy w/ my purchase of the Alta Rack. Love that I can carry my road bikes and mtn bikes as well. As a past owner of a NS6 rack, Thule rack, and current Kuat rack. For a rack that can carry 6 bikes all at once, it is def the best product on the market.
Andrew Wenzel –
This rack is all love, no rub. User error is the only way this guys gonna fail and Ali is always thinking of new things to attach to it. Super versital and user friendly.

If you are looking for a bike rack that can hold 6 bikes, look no further. This is incredibly well built and very effective. I would highly recommend this rack

I had looked at every vertical bike rack out there and had seen almost all of them in person and was set on a Recon Rack until I saw the Alta 6. It happened to be the owner if Alta Rack and he was there to talk to. After talking with him about the design and even with just looking over the rack I was sold. The build is solid like a tank where it needs to be and lighter where it doesn’t. I have always liked tire mounts over handle bar or fork crown mounts. They are more secure because they are deeper and there is never metal on metal contact. Or rubber protectors to wear out. Loading the bikes is easier too. You just lift it up and set the tire in. Plus with the Alta rack its not just a bike rack. It can be a ski rack and there is a hammock attachment coming out among others things. The owner/designer believes if your going to spend that much on a rack it needs to do more then just hold a bike so he is designing new attachments for it.
D Chad –
The bike rack is very sturdy and well-constructed. The design is very thoughtful and practical. It is actually a little easier to maneuver than the 4-bike platform racks.

Dan C. –
This rack is everything that I was looking for and more in a new rack. No more lifting the bikes onto the top of the car which would be a real pain with our second vehicle. The bikes are extremely secure in the cradles which is super important having had racks that weren’t this way. I really like that I can carry a variety of bikes as well. The build on this seems to be pretty bomb proof which is nice. Working with Ali was a pleasure. Oh, and the Silver Vein finish is absolutely killer!

zack h. –
Awesome rack, professional service, love the thoughtful design. He’s got the vertical rack figured out and dialed.
Gary J. –
These things are awesome! I had fantastic costumer service. I purchased the Alta 6 and the retractable tie downs. They answered my questions. They took the time with me and made sure I knew how to do everything with the rack and tie downs. Since I drove down to pick it up in person they put the rack together for me as well. They also tested all the joints and lubed them all up.
Daniel –
Look no further… this thing is rad! A bit spendy for sure, but it will last the rest of your pedaling life. It is super sturdy and has zero wobble around corners and over bumps. I did splurge for deluxe the tie-downs, and they definitely make it bomb proof.
Bobby Monson –
Definitely the best rack I have used. As the manager of a bike shop I was looking for something for our shop shuttle. I have used many different bike racks and nothing else compares. The attention to detail is without rival. I will be buying one for my personal car soon.
Joseph A. –
Super friendly and responsive. Because we are local, he even assembled the rack for pickup. Once there he spent quite a bit of time explaining all the details of the rack system and had suggestions on how to best utilize it with our specific vehicle. Love the rack. Carries all six of our bikes without touching frames while keeping them all safely away from each other. Very little sway without the tie down straps.
Derek –
Heavy duty and have high expectations for this. Few QC items: Several paint/finish blemishes. Painted on logos are not centered. It’s not perfect but it is the product I’m looking for.
Nicholas –
Great product. Super sturdy construction. Perfect carrying system that won’t damage your bike.
Jason Sebelin –
After having two bikes damaged with a different rack, I decided to bite the bullet and get this one. This rack is amazing! My bikes have had zero movement, and you can see them in the rear view. Again, no movement to contact!!! Grabs attention where ever we go. I wish I would have learned about this one several years ago before I purchased that other brand. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks guys!!
Jon Y. –
Great rack. Can carry many types of bikes together like road, Mtn, gravel, DH etc. Also, super quick responses to inquiries. Ability to stabilize with tie downs is also cool.
Highly recommend.
Jeb Rucks –
Excellent rack and excellent buying expierence.
Jason Christensen –
I have been using a few different brands and styles of rear hitch and rooftop bike racks over the years. As a high school mountain bike coach I use my rack nearly every day. The Alta rack is by far the best built and easiest to use bike rack I have ever had. Fit and finish could not be better. Loading is easier than I anticipated. So easy that even my 15 year old daughter will load and unload bikes. I wish I would have made this purchase years ago.
Rodger M. –
This has got to be the best bike rack available on the market, very sturdy, keeps bikes well protected from being scratched or damaged in anyway if used properly. Very prompt service, some washers were missing, I called the number, someone answered, were very apologetic, and shipped the part out immediately. Would highly recommend this product to anyone.
Ross –
Awesome experience!
Robert –
After owning 5 different top rated racks, the best lasting 5 years before problems, I tried Alta, best rack yet. There is a very short learning curve for lifting your bike up and slotting into wheel cradle which is angled and requires control of front wheel while lifting. The 4 bike rack does not stick out farther than the side of my Jeep thus avoiding wheel spray from hitting bikes. No scraping slush and ice off wheels at trailhead.
Bikes stay much cleaner than horizontal hitch rack. Construction and design are for a lifetime. Assembly very easy and NO PLASTIC to break. Thanks Alta, finally a long lasting, easy to use, bike rack for everyday use, that protects the bike, and won’t fall apart or break. Well done.
Greg –
We have already put the rack to use over the past few weekends. It has worked great for our family of five kids. We finally have a way to take six bikes and ride together while exploring new places. The rack is solid and very well designed. We couldn’t be happier with it.
james pendleton –
Great rack for carrying multiple bikes. It’s definitely larger than most racks and weighs more, but that’s because it is built well and very sturdy, and, will carry six bikes!
I installed it on my Tacoma and right away noticed the weight back there while driving with just three bikes on it. Cornering was the most noticeable, but nothing to get too excited about.
It loads/unloads easily and was pretty easy to assemble, but is easier to install into your hitches receiver if there are two of you.
Matt Jones –
2 Things…1) Alta has amazing customer service, they were super helpful when I was calling to get more information. 2). Love the Rack, I have 4 boys so being able to haul 6 bikes is important. This rack works perfect. I should have bought this rack last year.
Todd B. –
Excellent product and excellent customer service.
Martha L Henning –
Tony Cruz –
Ali and Alta Rack have an amazing product and customer service. Never hesitate to contact them with any questions or concerns.
Sean Canty –
This thing is so stout! We took the bikes out camping right after we got it, and it worked perfectly. Every detail has been designed meticulously. Highly recommending to friends!
Daniel W. –
Finally had the rack for enough time to give a legit review.
I love it!!
Looked at all the options and finally decided on the Alta… glad I did.
Here are the concerns I had pre-purchase and had the sorted in the end,
1) sticks pretty far out from the back of my truck… thought I might wanted it closer but so glad it’s not! I can open the tailgate without tilting the rack, huge benefit.
2) I was concerned the latch would not be bomber… it is!
Still use the safety hitch pin when loaded, but leave it out the rest of the time.
3) wasn’t sure how it would securely hold both 3 inch MTB tires and road tires… it hold both very well with our concern of damage to either wheel/bike.
And Ali is right, using the bands to lock your breaks really makes it bomber, esp on rough roads.
I do have 2 suggestions that would make it work a tiny bit better for me
1) an extra “storage” slot that I could stick the safety pin through when not in use… I know I’m gonna leave it somewhere when I forget to replace it in the slot.
2) some easy way of pulling the second master bolt so that I could lay the rack out fully flat. Right now you need to have a wrench with you to do it… so it will really never happen.
Last thing, it didn’t come with all the stickers applied (or in the box) which is NBD and just part of the deal with a family run business… but Alta is losing some advertising as a result
All in all… stoked on this rack!!

Great rack and great customer service. I called the number and Ali, the owner answered. He answered all my questions- super helpful.
Dante Montanelli –
Awesome rack built really well and the customer service is top notch.
Michael Naselow –
Love it. Have not figured out how best to lock my bikes with my big huge NY style chain. Other than that it is great.
Jeff –
Amazing rack! As soon as I got it put together I took it on a 600 mi road trip loaded up with six bikes including one E bike. Rode great the entire time, no wiggle, no rubbing between bikes. Being able to adjust the basket spacing was absolutely necessary for fitting 20 inch kid MTBs. Used the bike stand for a pedal swap and fine tune in the derailleur, very handy. Overall very happy with it. The hitch locking mechanism is a little cumbersome but very effective and it sounds like there’s ideas for even better options in the future. Couldn’t be more happy with the rack and Ali is great to work with. Great customer service and always looking to improve the rack.
Max Stirling –
I like that each bike can be removed without taking others off. Very sturdy rack, love the versatility of using it for mountain or road.
Wendy Bertagnole –
such a great bike rack and fantastic service. I am SO happy with everything.
Glen L. –
sturdy, easy to use and great customer service to boot.

I’ve taken it on one 12 hour road trip so I don’t know yet how it will hold up, but so far, it’s great. It holds our six bikes (mountain bikes, kids bikes, and a road bike) no problem, it’s easy for me to get the bikes on and off, the whole thing is very solid, and it leans back so I can open the back of my minivan.
Brett C. –
Excellent rack. Very sturdy and rides well. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. Would definitely buy from Alta racks again.
Jennifer W. –
Surprised my husband with this awesome rack for Father’s Day! After a lot of research, it was the best option to accommodate all our bikes. It makes loading bikes a breeze and we look pretty sweet driving down the highway! And… I love that we can get into the back of the car without unloading! It is exactly what our biking family needed. Thanks Ulta for a great product.
Kimberly –
The ease of loading and unloading, along with the versatility is what sold me on this rack. While I haven’t had it completely full yet, this rack is built solid and we have not experienced the swaying and movement like we have in other racks. Ali was easy to work with and always quick to answer a question or provide more information.
Anonymous –
This thing is a beast. It is built like a tank. I think the only thing I would request is that the hitch stabilizer be powder coated like the rest of it. Currently it is just bare metal. Bikes fit great and I can drop my tailgate without touching the bike rack which is a huge plus.
Bryan F. –
Design and powder coating are nice but the welds need some improvement to match the price of rack.
Kenny Grant –
Awesome bike rack, I did months of research and after looking g at all the other vertical bike racks I’m super stoked on my Alta Rack. Great customer service, Ali is a great hard working dude and it shows in work.
Nathan Fredrick –
I purchased this rack in early 2019. I did a lot of research and it took time for me to pull the trigger because of the price. I knew this was the rack tho, so I made it happen.
It has now been over a year and I love my rack. Every time I load it I find better ways to do it.
The rack is high quality. Ali is super helpful and a great human. He cares a lot about the product he has created and he is continually innovating. I waited over a year to list this to make sure this thing performs. It does!
I purchased the 6-pack, with the extender, and the tie downs. This allows me access with full utility to my back doors when the rack is laid out. When in use I have some room to operate in the back.
There are definitely cheaper options out there but a lifetime guarantee???? I have major pride of ownership.
Now I’m saving up for the floor stand and the table. Even thinking about a new, navy blue powder coat.
Jonathan W. –
We are a family of five and always need to haul a road bike as well. We can’t say enough good things about this bike rack. IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! Not only is it solid, it is also great to look at. We had people ask about it within the first hour we had it on the car and have even had people on the highway honk and give a thumbs up! We would recommend this to anyone needing the versatility of a 6 bike rack.
Brian D. –
I have 6 people in my family and did a lot of research on 6-bike carriers, and I believe this is by far the best design with the best function and protection for the bikes. I love how the only interaction between the bikes and the rack is through the rubber of the tires. All other racks I found made contact either with the forks or the frame, which I didn’t like. I love how the racks are made in Salt Lake City. I’m from Albuquerque, NM and was visiting Salt Lake about a month ago, and Ali met with me personally to deliver the rack to me and gave me some great tips on how to best use the rack. It was great customer service. This is a higher priced rack, but the quality warrants the price. I used the rack for the first time a couple weeks ago on a 600-mile trip. The rack worked perfectly. With the hitch lock and straps, there is little to no swaying. I was very pleased with how well it worked. This is a perfect rack, and I strongly recommend it!
Kelly c. –
Sturdy and exactly what I was looking for.

James Weigel –
We love our Alta Six Pack. The angled hitch makes clearing Utah’s large road dips a breeze. Alta Racks take care of our bikes (no rubbing between bikes or frame) and keeps them safe! Once you go with Alta Racks you’ll never go back to a standard rack.
Andy A. –
Hi Ali and Sara,
We just got back from a roughly 1800 mile road trip with the Alta Rack. Awesome bike rack, no complaints. I’m probably not the first to think of this but I added a light bar to the bottom bar. I was concerned the bikes would partially block my turn signals and break lights. I think it helps. Anyways, thanks for making a great product!
Cheers,
Andy
Blake G. –
Ali and crew are responsive and totally in tune with getting g you what you need.
John Collings –
Love my Alta rack! It is easy to load and I can finally take my whole family out for a ride. Bikes are stable and do not knock against each other.
Matthew Duff –
Very happy with the service and responsiveness of your team. Love the rack!
David Hill –
We took the rack to Yellowstone and it was perfect. Easy to load and unload and kept the bikes secure
John Weekes –
I have only had it a week, but it works great. I am having a hard time keeping the tire brackets from shifting though
Shawn D. –
The rack is well built and engineered. It was easy to put together! The installation videos from the Alta site where a great help. The rack is easy to load with multiple bikes.

This is awesome. We love it. Bought garage stand too. Only thing I wish it had is faster system for stabilization on the hitch.

Ryan N. –
A+++ customer service. I switched the color of my rack after I had ordered it and they updated it for me. I really appreciated that. Love the rack, I think we will get many years out of it the way that’s it’s made.
Kate Attea –
genius! works great.
James Ratledge –
I researched several racks. Recon, Alta, Northshore, Lolo, Yakima, and Velocirax. I choose Alta because you can carry road bikes, drop bars, kids, e-bikes, and mountain bikes. The angle at the hitch allows more clearance, how the attachments mount protect your gear, build quality is excellent, finish is top notch, tons of add-on options, and the design is well thought out for durability and function.
Paul Coles –
Best purchase I’ve made in years!!!!
Hardeep D. –
Awesome construction!

Patrick B. –
Absolutely stunning. This rack is solid.
I had purchased a six bike rack for a seven week RV roadtrip last summer (‘19) that ended up being a major disappointment. The prior rack had the bikes rubbing up against one another developing scratches, dings and proved itself to be less than advertised. My new Alta Rack, on the other hand is a dream. Very easy to install, And even easier to load and unload. Have already used it on a couple day trips to the beach and it performed beautifully. This is a commercial grade rack through and through.
The straps are terrific and easy to pull down and lock the tires in place. Very well thought through.
Highly recommend the Alta 6-bike rack!
Ethan –
Really solid and well-constructed, very pleased.
Erich –
Just Amazing, the quality is bar none, “bomb proof” this thing is exactly what I was looking for and when other wracks shy away from RV use Alta kicks it up a notch, no problem! This is the perfect fit for my family of four on most of our excursions but I love the fact I have the option to add the other two baskets when we have friends that travel with us! Thanks Alta Rack!
guillaume –
Really awesome and sturdy. Done tons of miles with it on the back of my Sienna. Just Perfect.
Jessica D. –
Great rack for large bikes! We travel with a mix of beach cruisers and mountain bikes, so this was a no brainer. Our beach cruisers are pricey and we didn’t like how other racks cause the bikes to rub against each other. This rack keeps the bikes separated and avoids damage.
Jed Atherley –
Rack is great, very sturdy. It’s a bit heavy which makes it difficult to mount and to use the tilting mechanism. Very hard to tilt with the bikes on the rack and then to push back into vertical with the wieght of the bikes.

Heather –
Excellent versatile rack!!! You can tell care and love go into building each and everyone of these racks. Every detail has been thought through down to repurposed rubber tubing for the brakes. I would say the only downside is the 6 pack rack is quite heavy/awkward and typically requires 2 people to put on/take off vehicle.
Michael C. –
Solid Rack. All metal. Zero rattles. Love the orange color. I expect this to be the last bike rack I will ever have to buy.
Matthew –
Ben Peteocco –
Haven’t got a chance to test the rack out much yet but seems to be excellent quality and was fairly easy to assemble. Only complaint I have is looks like I will have to purchase some kind of hitch extension to get my F150 tailgate to drop completely with rack on.

Dustin Waraner –
Bad to the bone, solid, true engineering at its finest,made in America. Bikes hang from the wheel and do not damage fork.
Eric B. –
After a lot of bike rack research, this rack was an easy choice. With 4 kids and a travel trailer, this was the only rack that is approved for the back of a trailer and off road. This rack is very well built and so easy to load and unload the bikes. It easily holds all sizes of bikes from 29″ –> 20″ bikes for the kids. And a HUGE bonus is the ground clearance. We have a steep driveway and this rack doesn’t even come close to hitting the ground. Scraping would occur with pretty much any other rack on the market.
Tyler C. –
I love this rack. I was able to really hone in and adjust to get a perfect fit for my bikes. Getting the bikes loaded/unloaded was easy and the bikes stayed secure on the 600+ miles we’ve taken them so far (no movement and no damage)!
Kelvin H. –
Excellent rack – easy to load, very secure – what more can you ask?
Rick Phillips –
Your products are great. Since I’m not too mechanically adept I would have appreciated better step by step assembly instructions, in both written and video forms.
Leah –
This rack is awesome!! We get 5 bikes off in 10min which includes unthreading the security cable we use with it. 15min to Put in including threading the security cable through. This thing doesn’t move much and it’s definitely worth getting the retractable ratchet just for the ease of it. Definitely an eye catcher too, many people stop to check it out or slow down to have a look. Is nice that you can get different powder coatings. It’s just the main central bar that is the colour though, trest is black
Brian R. –
Ali quickly responded to a missing part in my delivery box, he was courteous and shipped next day what I needed. I really appreciate that level of service, you know he is committed to his company. It is built rock solid and I expect many years. Much easier loading than my old platform now with 5 bikes! Made in the USA and that means something that convinced me to purchase, now with the service response = no regrets.
Nils D. –
Took forever researching different rack systems that would work with our 5 road bikes and this one fits the bill perfectly.
Deborah Cathey –
Byron –
Worth more than the 3 racks you would buy and need to replace over the years instead of getting this awesome rack. Enough clearance to open the rear gate on 2011 Honda Pilot.
Darrin Davis –
This rack is the real deal. Notice the attention paid to hardware/bolt hardness, the multiple engineered solutions for the dynamic forces affecting the rack. Performance, looks, and easy reconfiguration. Check that silver vein box if you want to flex out dragon scale style.
Peter B. –
So happy with this rack! Can easily load 5 bikes, including a 29’er and a bmx without it feeling like a jigsaw puzzle. Feels bomber and super well built.
