Why Should Transit’s Choose
Byk-Rak for Their Buses?
Commercial Grade/Modular Design
The Byk-Rak frame is constructed with 304 stainless steel and the wall thickness is 3 mm. This makes for a cost effective choice that will enable the rack to be durable for the everyday transit use. It is designed to go through a bus wash, and requires very little maintenance.
Reliable Patented Locking System
Our patented locking system has 3 points of contact on the tire that has constant pressure applied. This is accomplished by rotating the handle without any judgmental decision.
Safety
A series of tests were administrated to determine the average loading and unloading speed of bicycles into our bike rack. These tests were completed by people who has no experience with the Byk-Rak system, using a variety of bikes, and included stowing and lowering the Byk-Rak from its stored position. Amazingly, the average time of operation for either loading or unloading was 10 seconds or less!

Products
We offer 1, 2, and 3 position Bike Racks. We also have removable rail bike racks that are “modular” in design. This enables the Maintenance Department to replace large components instead of the entire bike rack. This will save time and money.
Finishes
We can offer both stainless steel and also mild steel powder coated bike racks. Our stainless Steel racks can be powder coated to color, electro polished (Chrome like finish) and Non-Glare Bead Blasted (Dull gray finish).
