Buy once, cry once, they say. The premium price this rack commands is worth every penny, and it hasn't left my truck since day one. Did a full week of shuttling in Revelstoke up some pretty bumpy fire roads with four bikes on and the rack is as solid as ever, no play on the hitch connection, zero bikes got scratched, and I wasn't taking it easy on the way up. Matt was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating to my schedule since I was picking up the rack in Squamish. It takes a minute to learn how to efficiently load bikes on but once you get used to it, it becomes second nature. Very happy with my purchase, and the rack also looks badass to boot. No more looking back at the bike rack on fire road shuttles to check if your bike is getting rattled all over the place.
I wish I pulled the trigger earlier. 5 bike rack on a Ford ranger. Road trip life is way better with bed storage. The bikes don’t eat each-other on rough shuttles, and I feel a profound sense of smug superiority to my friends who own NS racks.
Got the 6 bike multi pivot rack. Bikes are 50mm/2” further apart on the Khyber rack than my old North Shore rack, which is awesome because on the NSR the pedals frequently rubbed on the bike next to it (not to mention rubs crowns/head tubes and rusted out within 2 years). The Khyber rack has been bulletproof, about as little play as you could ever expect with 200lbs hanging off a five foot lever off the back of your hitch, and the rope tie down system for the wheels is slick. It’s quite heavy and a bit tricky for a single person to load onto the vehicle given the shape and weight is awkward to lift, but thats about the only criticism I can come up with and it’s a pretty minor one. It’s a dialled bit of kit - they have obviously gone over everything that annoys people about other racks on the market and methodically solved every issue.
The quality and details of this rack are noticed when you get up close to see it. It is without any doubt the strongest rack on the market. From weather resistance to how sturdy it is the rack is when loaded. I have no regrets after buying this rack. It holds the bikes high enough from the back of my minivan (yeah I know, but a ride is a ride) the rear wheels don’t scrape when going over bumps or inclines.
When the rack is tilted the rear door still fully opens.
The only down side is that there is not an option to carry a kids size bike (optional smaller basket). I will certainly be one of the first to put an order in once that becomes available.
Apples for apples, the materials and workmanship is superior to the other options available, and the build quality does require a higher price point, but the additional cost is worth it. This rack will not be a rust bucket 2 years down the road. It may have some dirt and dust on it from use but rust will not be the issue!
I will not hesitate to purchase a second rack for my son’s vehicle once he gets to that age.
Great service, heavy duty& will not rust or corrode
Simply the best rack out there
Love my new Kyber rack. I didn’t want a 1-up tray style rack as I already have one and with the family bikes it hangs too far off the back of the truck so I wanted a vertical one.
After some searching I found this product and am grateful I did; It will literally last a lifetime. Customer service is amazing too. I had an issue with a bolt and they corrected it promptly. Mark took good care of me and I’m glad I was able to support a small North American business over a big corporation.
Bottom line: Pricey, but definitely worth it.
I have only owned a basket type bike rack until now. The unimaginable excessive quality of the components puts it above and beyond any other hanging rack I have seen and used that friends own. I have spoken with Mark multiple times prior to purchasing and also post delivery. I posted a photo on Instagram and Mark (on of the owners) noticed I was missing a couple of plastic pieces. He reached out immediately and sent the parts in a matter of days. All I can say is if you buy this rack, you will shocked at the quality and engineering, and the customer service is wicked awesome.
Bought the v2 (one that folds back) to go on the back of my sprinter van. We took it on a long road trip. Drove up mountains and super bumpy forestry service roads. The rack is as advertised. It’s heavy and at the higher end of price range, but if you want to be 100% confident that your bikes are staying put on any terrain, Khyber is the way to go.
The owner was super responsive to questions and got me the rack on a short timeframe before I left on the trip.
My first impression is that this is an indestructible rack that will outlast my mountain biking career. So far very happy with the structure and ease of use. Hope it holds up to PNW winters. Very happy with my purchase.
Really happy with the rack overall. Holds the bikes apart and steady during shuttling. The pin/cotter pin system to tilt the rack isn't as quick as other racks, but gets the job done. Out of the box, the full layback position puts all the weight onto the bikes if they are left on. I added a spacer to limit the tilt back so the wheels are slightly off the ground while still allowing my tailgate to open. A built in mechanism to adjust that layback position would be nice to have but not a deal breaker by any means.
I’d been on the fence for a year about dropping in on a Khyber Rack as it’s a big investment. I can confidently say that I have no regrets been a game changer for hauling toys, better than advertised quality, phenomenal service and I have no doubt will serve me for many many years.
Extremely well built rack and easy to load. The quickest and simplest tie down system I’ve seen so far. This rack turns heads anywhere you go. Highly recommended. Khyber was great to deal with on a customer service level and follow thru as well.
This is hand down the most solid, well built rack I’ve ever used. The rack just doesn’t move at all, even on rough back roads. And the bike spacing keeps everything safe and secure! The only thing I would change is perhaps a slightly taller mast to get a little more clearance for those longer bikes. Overall this thing is awesome and I love the tie down system!
Thanks for my awesome rack and great service. My only small feedback is that I found the instructions to be a bit challenging but figured out. I would suggest you have a video on the website on how to build it. I think your future customers would really appreciate it. There ya go
For years I rolled with another rack. The bikes would be scraped and scratched even dislodged. The Khyber rack has been such an upgrade. Bikes are happy, loading and unloading is easy, and the rack is gorgeous! My experience with Khyber has been incredible, they installed my rack, gave me great advise and have been accessible ever since to answer my questions. Best bike investment I have made in years!!
I wanted the stiffest rack on the market to minimize bike damage while shuttling on rough logging roads. This is it. I love it and would confidently recommend it to anyone looing for a high quality tough rack.
Bought the rack in late Sept, have only used a couple times, but works great, easy to load, super stable. Great construction. Likely last longer than any bike I hang on it!!
Keep up the great work guys!
I have had a few different hitch mount racks. The Khyber is the best by far. It well built. It's solid. It doesn't damage my bike frame or handle bars. It work awesome with my swing arm. there is no movement on my hitch. I expect that I will be using this rack for a very long time. I highly recommend that rack! It is worth every penny.
I love how sturdy my bike rack is for long road trips and bumpy terrain. I feel so much better knowing my bikes are going to be safe for the long journey. I had the best customer service from Mark, he went did everything he could to make my rack suitable for me. So thankful!!
