It connects to my hitch. The rack can hold up to 300 lbs but your going to need the 2" receiver and a class 2 or higher weight rating as you wouldn't want the rack to rip off on the highway with 6 expensive bikes on it It sucks they don't ship overseas tho! I'd say give them a call anyways
The Specialized is a small frame. And for sure but the big wheels rip on the trails around here. It allows you to get up and over the rocks and roots a lot more easily which is perfect for my girlfriend!
