Rack Attack Team
When it comes to hitch receivers, carrying bikes, or needing to lift bikes onto roof racks, the question arises: where to buy a bike rack that truly fits your requirements? While names like Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, and Amazon might come up, the discerning choice is Rack Attack. With us, you tap into a legacy of 25 years and a compnay that lives and breathes all things racks.
We've seen so many customers come to us with a rack they bought off Amazon only to realize it doesn't fit properly or has even damaged their vehicle. Also, these other retailers don't provide installation support and only have a 30-day return period. We have a 60-day guarantee, provide installation support, and have an extensive Rack Attack YouTube channel with information about your racks to watch and learn more.
With nearly 50 stores in the United States and Canada, our inventory is vast and tailored to fit every vehicle type and bike. From Vancouver, British Columbia, to San Diego, California, all the way to Raleigh, North Carolina and London, Ontario, we've got all your bike rack needs covered.
Why Rack Attack is the Best Fit for Your Bike Rack Needs
Deep Specialization:
While places like Dick's Sporting Goods might offer hitch mount racks or trunk racks, their broad focus can dilute the specialized knowledge. Rack Attack lives in the world of racks. Our Gear Guides are well-versed in systems like the Thule T2 Pro, Kuat Piston Pro, Yakima FullSwing and so many more. Check out our complete guide to vehicle bike racks to learn more.
Varied Selection:
REI and Dick's Sporing Goods might show off a variety of hitch bikes, but none marry the range with expertise like Rack Attack. From understanding hitch receivers to front wheel mounts and even specifics like what racks work best with e-bikes, our offerings are exhaustive and complete.
All-Encompassing Experience:
Where to buy a bike rack isn't just about the product. It's about post-purchase support, understanding how to secure bikes safely, navigate dirt roads, or even understand compatibility with different types of bike racks and a variety of vehicles. Rack Attack ensures you're well-equipped for all this and more. We have a detailed artcile explaining if you should carry your bike on your roof or behind your car - check it out here.
Why Other Retailers Might Not Measure Up
Generic Offers:
Broad product ranges, like those of Home Depot or Dick's Sporting Goods, often mean you miss out on the nuances. Be it understanding hitch bike racks, mountain bikes compatibility, or even systems for truck beds. At Rack Attack, we care about the details and want to ensure you fit the best fit for your gear and your budget.
Shipping and Service Delays:
Larger chains may struggle with supply chain hiccups or generic customer serivce protocols. Rack Attack's promise is to offer the best price, offer same-day shipping and always have a customer-centric approach, ensuring you're the top priority.
Lacking In-Depth Expertise:
While REI and Amazon might deal with bike racks, do they delve deep into aspects like the difference between tray-style racks and rooftop bike racks, or those that work best with trucks? With Rack Attack, every product option comes with a wealth of knowledge.
Choosing where to buy a bike rack goes beyond just the product. It's about making sure your mountain bikes, e-bikes, commuter bikes, or road bikes are secure, whether you're navigating dirt roads, mountains, or highways. It's about understanding systems, from trailer hitches to roof racks. Rack Attack isn't just a store; it's a one-stop shop to get you ready for your adventures. Trust us for expert guidance, extensive selection, and unparalleled service.
