Win a Küat Pivot Rack - Pinkbike's Advent Calendar Giveaway

 I don't even want one, not alone 13, nevertheless well done.

 @habsfan2: it would allow you to get the bikes sooo faraway though

 My every day routine : 1. Vote for Redshift comment 2. Enter the giveaway.

 Even if Pinkbike staff dose make a vid of them singing this, I’m still going to sing it.

 I wish I could upvote this more than once!

 So this doesn't include the part that actually holds your bike? Not even one??

Good job going cheap on this one, Kuat.

 @kabanosipyvo: I think you're just supposed to bungee your bike tires down on this thing but come on, at least include some bungees!

 Yep. My thoughts exactly.

 Take it I'm not the only one that needed to Google this...

 @MrMediocre: no your not. I googled it and was still confused. I get it now. It does not look like something compatable with UK tow bars.

 Throw it in the fire quick!!! Then melt it down and make 50 gearbox frames for your sins.

 There was a PB review on this one someday. I guess there is a fair chance a PB visitor should know what it is.

 @vinay: STFU with that sense making nonsense, now grab a pitch fork and tourch and join us as we the PB Mob banish this obstrosity into the firery pits of hell. Join us, vinay. Join us, before we turn on you.

That's WTF. This thing is badass if you want access to the back of your vehicle with your bikes loaded on a rack.

 Not really that confusing. "The Pivot allows your bike rack (up to a loaded NV 2.0 4-Bike) to effortlessly swing away, providing ample clearance for tailgates, rear gates or just increasing your hatchback access."

 If it's for tailgating, it should be advertised like a beer commercial. Then you will feel left out if you don't have one.

 It's like winning the cleats to a set of Crank Brother's pedals...

 @nuttypoolog: or elixir brakepads

 Or a lefty

 Looks not to be brand specific, but more receiver size specific.

 @macross87: Sounds like my ex girlfriend.

 *zing*

 @nuttypoolog: crap brothers

 @macross87: It looks like it would work for anything using a 2 inch receiver. I hate having to climb over my rack to get into the bed of my truck this would be awesome.

 @Rigidjunkie: Agreed. I think this would be even better for the SUV and wagon crowd. FYI, for tailgate clearance, I went to a local fab shop and got a 12" extension fabbed up in "male-female" configuration so it would slot into my hitch, then push the rack off the back. With nice heavy steel, I have hung 3 fullys off the back, and can totally drop my tailgate and get the dog in and out. A fairly inexpensive solution, plus I got to go the fab shop which is always a good time! Fairly easy for them to make, and you will love the result!

 @VwHarman:

could have just bought one

 You don't attach this to Clio. You attach Clio to this.

 I've got a Clio too (though more modern). No big deal, I can strap this on my roof no problem.

 @haroman666 my first car :-)

 american dudes scratching heads like "what's a Clio??"
p.s.: 1999 megane here

 Bike > Car win.

 @ismasan: Their heads will explode when they A: see how small it is and B: when they realise it's not even the smallest car in their range! Always have a giggle at US tourists in their hire cars wondering how we manage with such small vehicles.

 @DaMilkyBarKid: As small as it is though, I treat it like a van and a lot of the time I go riding there's 2 DH bikes, 2 persons worth of gear, tools etc and big bags of food in it and there's still room!

 @haroman666: Ok, I'm cheating here. I've got a Clio Estate, I think from late 2014 or so (bought it used last year). I can easily get two bikes (up to 15kg each) on the roof and two bikes (up to 30kg each) on the tow bar. And then I've got the complete interior available for gear and company. So yeah, that's good enough to go on a trip with four riders. My previous car (a 2007 Peugeot 107) didn't have a tow bar (and if it did get one, it wouldn't be certified to actually tow anything so that'd be merely for a bike rack). Still with that car I could get two bikes on the roof. Max roof load was 50kg so it could even take three lightweight bikes if I'd get another rail for a bike on there.

 @haroman666: Sounds like my dirt cheap -98 Ford Fiesta. Also that fits 2 DH bikes, 2 DJ bikes and 2 persons with gear and all essential stuff. It is entertaining to see faces of people when unloading the car at some bike park.

 Don't random enter anything unless you're feeling adventurous.

 Just like Russian roulette

 I agree! I have a Thule 4 bike platform rake that would work with this. It's not brand specific. All you need is a two inch receiver. Would make life easy to access the back of any vehicle. The PB trolls are angry today.

 @beirge294: Yep, I dont understand all the complaining. I could lift my hatch with a shuttle rack full of bikes on it. Buying this if I dont win it anyway

Bonus: you could, in theory, attach your plate to this and leave your rack on if you live in a place with tough laws on license plate visibility. It would peek out underneath

 There's a period where the winners have to accept the prize before we can announce winners, so that process takes a bit of time to firm up. Normally we run a post that includes all the winners, just keep an eye on your Pinkbike and email inbox to see if you have won.

 I love new ropes. I also love hanging out.

 Pink bikers aren't that smart they'd rather just complain

 My old “laptop” used to only receive 3.25”s. Yours must be newer...

 It's Christmas if I win it you can have it just come get it

 because of this im not entering. merry christmas. Ill pm you my address so you can send me a christmas card.

 @HaydukeLives: don't forget to bring your bike when you come to pick up your rack so we can do a ride

 I wonder if you can flip it over. Might have to remove and flip the red lever too. Looking at it, if it were upside down then your rack would be on the lower square tube instead of the upper square tube. Might be too close to the ground, but maybe not with a 4Runner.

 Rak attach custom makes them for you to swing out in the direction of your choice. Also handmade in the USA.

 @Endurahbrah: thought about that but it would probably limit ground clearance. i got a aftermarket bumper to increase clearance and my bike comes on lots of offroad trips with me. Gonna check out what dude suggested below

 Actually Kuat worked directly with Walter at Rak Attach to produce this and did not "steal" any design.

 @ftccbass:

Well in that case, my bad, and that’s awesome to hear. Been a happy rak attach owner for a long time and it bummed me out seeing an almost exact replica.

 @Longroadtonowhere: No worries. It was mentioned in another post back in the Spring and they commented about it as someone said the same thing as you.

 It's a new measuring tool for Hub standards

 Volvo have trucks, so probably yes
