(Newswire.net — November 18, 2015) — RedWolf LLC has designed, built, and sold several hundred award-winning pickup truck specific racks that have caught the attention of bikers across the country.
Now, they have updated their designed and patented a very exciting new spring arm bike rack called the KURUK. The re-designed rack works with all sizes of bicycle wheels and tires, including the new fat off-road tires.
KURUK may be the most innovative pickup truck bike rack ever made. It is fast to load, faster to unload, and hauls more bikes in less space. The new rack accepts all bike sizes without disassembly or clamping. The design also preserves the truck bed area for other cargo.
“The KURUK bike rack was invented by biking enthusiasts for biking enthusiasts who really know what works” said Daniel Wolfe, founder of RedWolf LLC, and inventor of the product.
Wolfe continues, “the bike market is moving rapidly toward more variety in bike wheel sizes, more variety in front fork configurations and other changes that make many bike racks ineffective or obsolete”.
Receiver hitch racks are the most common solution, but not work well for pickup trucks because they block the ability to lower the tailgate for loading other items. The KURUK rack is a self adjusting bike retention system that mounts to the top of side-rails of most any pickup bed. It incorporates a 3 dimensional built-in clamping system which adjusts to the pickup railing and clamps on quickly and easily. The bike wheel retention system is spring loaded and instantly grabs the bike wheel and holds it securely on any rough roads, yet it releases the bike tire and the bike instantly with just a little pressure from the owner.
The Indiegogo campaign, launched today, is aimed at $75,000, which the company will use to $75,000 to finish the aluminum extrusion molds, and raw materials to get the first racks ready for market. KURUK racks will be made in the United States.
