Take the hassle out of loading and unloading your bikes with the Aluminess PowerLift Bike Rack. Designed for adventurers who value convenience, this innovative rack uses a power-assisted lift to effortlessly raise and lower your bikes. Whether you’re headed to the trail or returning from a ride, the PowerLift makes the experience effortless.

The rack has undergone extensive testing for both durability and vehicle compliance, ensuring it will stand the test of time while keeping your bikes secure on any adventure.
