Specifications
CAPACITY

100 lbs maximum weight capacity

These accessories mount on top of the Pivot XD and do not reduce the rack’s total 350 lb capacity since they are positioned above the pivot. However, the weight installed on these accessories will contribute to the overall 350 lb limit for the Pivot XD.

If the MOLLE and tire mount are both loaded to their maximum capacities, the remaining rack or cargo installed into the Pivot XD is limited to 200 lbs.

The distance-to-weight rule (28"/40") applies to all racks or cargo installed into the Pivot XD receiver — excluding the MOLLE and spare tire accessories.

How to Measure Backspacing

  1. Place a straight edge against the inside of your tire
  2. Measure from the mounting flange of your wheel to the straight edge (edge of tire)
  3. Choose a mount size: The measured distance must be equal to or less than the mount depth.

The tire mount size you select must be greater than this depth. This is to ensure you have enough mounting space for the wheel and tire. For example, if the measured backspace is 175mm, the 200mm adapter is required, but the 250mm adapter could be used instead to create extra space between the tire and the MOLLE panel.

Spare Tire & BIKES

The Rear Tire Mount carries a full-size spare on the Accessory Hoop while your bike rack stays fully loaded and ready to roll. Always be ready.
