A few years ago, at the start of the pandemic, we were prepared to launch. With the global supply issues, we decided to wait and launch in 2022.
With current bike racks weighing over 60 lbs for a two bike carrier, we wanted to give customers a new experience. We wanted customers to enjoy their bike rack as much as their bicycle. Lightweight, convenient, beautiful. We began by making lots of prototypes of bike rack concepts with a few goals in mind:
Lightweight
Easy to install
Portable and compact
Easy to load bikes
Beautiful
The first prototypes look nothing like the design we landed on. Some were goofy, some had fabric, some had tension cables. But only our current design elimated all that was unecessary and conveniently carried a bicycle in an innovative way.
The AntiMatter bike rack you see today is the result of hundreds, maybe thousands of hours of conceptual design and prototyping. What you see now satisfies all of the criteria we set out to achieve.
Lightweight / Easy to Install
A two bike carrier set consists of a frame, receiver tube, and two bike carriers. Here’s how the weight breaks down:
Frame: 5 lbs
Receiver tube: 6 lbs
Carrier 1: 10 lbs
Carrier 2: 10 lbs
So, when you use your AntiMatter bike rack, you have at most 10 lbs to manage at one time. It’s a whole new experience you have to try.
Portable and Compact
The AntiMatter bike rack easily disassembles so you can store it as individual components. Or you can easily fold the carriers over the frame, making for one compact and portable unit. Lot’s of options for you conveniently store your rack when you’re not using it.
Now you no longer have to leave your 65 lb bike rack attached to your vehicle, because it’s too difficult to install and too large to store.
Enjoy the convenience of AntiMatter bike racks.
Loading Bikes is Easy
Everyone knows how frustrating some bike racks can be, trying to fit the bikes without damaging each other and making all the adjustments to fit each bike.
Just drop your non-drive crank arm into the crank holder as far at it will insert. The bike conveniently balances with the front wheel resting on the wheel holder. Adjust your wheel holder position as you see fit, then strap the wheel in place. Like Magic, a simple 5˚ tilt of the crank holder isolates your bike from all the vertical road vibration. With the wheel fixed in place, the crank can’t move significantly either. Now you’re off to your adventure with ease.
Beautiful appearance
AntiMatter bike racks are simply gorgeous. Anodized alloy construction and hidden hardware compliments any vehicle in a way no other bike rack can.
