TECHNOLOGY & FEATURES
MTX Platform
Heavy-duty steel main support connects to the receiver tube, hauls up to 600 lbs. (272 kgs.), and allows for track, chock, and orientation adjustability alongside the attachment of innovative components.
StableStop Chock Extra Wide
Adjustable two piece tire mount locks front tires up to 5.5" (139 mm) wide into chock, maximizes support, and holds the bike upright while securing tie-downs.
MaxHold HD Tracks
Laser cut track with advanced geometry reduces carrier weight, grips/wedges rear tires up to 9" (229 mm) wide into the track, and accommodates most wheelbases up to a 65" (165 cm).
BroadPull+ Arms (Front & Back)
Two wide tie-down arms maximize tie down leverage on the front and rear of the motorcycle. Patented shape increases carrier clearance on hills and off-road.
QuickLoad Ramp
A long laser-cut ramp increases tire's traction, eases the loading angle and unhooks from the same side the ramp connects for a quicker loading process.
HitchLift Receiver Tube
Innovative 2" receiver tube counteracts common vehicle hitch droop with a slight upward bend, ensuring that the rack is angled correctly from the back of the vehicle. Provides additional ground clearance, attachment of ramp and distance from vehicle adjustability.
ZeroWobble+ Hitch Mount
Upgraded single-bolt hitch mount installs quickly, requires fewer tools and eliminates rack movement in transport.

Let me start by saying that I love the mototote Motorcycle carrier. I bought the Max+ version because my motorcycle is about 550lbs wet. (Kawasaki ninja 1100 SX SE) I did end up buying a wobble reducing plate for my receiver because I have a 2 1/2” hitch that I had to reduce down to 2” for the rack. So the excessive torsion was my fault. But every thing held together for the 3 hour trip that I took it on! Super solid and didn’t show any signs of stress once I unloaded my bike. Loading and unloading is a breeze, the rear of my truck is pretty tall so I was on my toes once my bike was on the rack. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures but I will try to update this review in a few weeks when I’ll be traveling again. This time I’m going to have a camper behind me and the motorcycle rack on my front bumper for 2,000ish miles!
I also purchased the rear wheel tie down and the handle cuff ratchet. The rear wheel tie down is incredibly easy to use and very strong.
However I do not like the handle cuff ratchets, they would more than likely damage your throttle tube if you went too tight. But personally I won’t use them again because my full faring bike is too wide and would cause rubbing on my faring, I ended up wrapping the rub areas with microfiber rags and hopped for the best.

Purchased Max+ for loading Yamaha MT-10 Gen-1 and in later Yamaha R1M. Instructions on YouTube helped with setup. I wish MotoTote to include tools, wrench/socket sizes in instruction with Torque values.
We drove Toyota FJ Cruiser with MT-10 loaded on Max+ from Dubai - UAE to Salalah - Oman which included lots of unpaved roads, mountain curves, wet roads and lots on speed bumps more than 1230kms. Max+ performed very well.
Installed License Plate holder and Carrier Tail Light Kit, both are must for legal and safety purposes.
Also purchased Sport Motorcycle Tie Down Bundle, rear wheel innovative wheel strap is amazing and robust. Added one of the basic U-bolt clamps at the hitch interface for additional stability.
But front handlebars tie-down doesn't work well. It damaged accelerator side motorcycle grip and left side ratcheting system stopped working/jammed after two times tightening.

I bought this two weeks ago, but have been quite busy and was just finally able to assemble it today. So I haven’t had a chance to actually use it just yet. I did have to pull up YouTube videos to fill in the gap for assembly instructions which were somewhat lacking. I purchased the Max+ over comparable units based mostly by its positive reviews but also the thoughtful well engineered appearing design on the website. That carries through in person too. It looks purposeful and well designed with a nice finish and components, not cheap or like a backyard project. I bought this to make it easier for me to transport my Harley Sportster and Buell Sport Tourer when need be; mostly to minimize having to ask for help and rides when not convenient. It appears to be a perfect match for my factory towing equipped Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I had been in the market for a hitch carrier for sometime. I have 10 motorcycles and wanted something that was versatile enough for most of them. This fit the bill. It's lightweight compared to the cheaper ones and it holds a variety of different types of motorcycles. I also purchased the handle bar and rear wheel straps as well as the light kit. Everything works as designed.

Deliveries in Toronto core are near to impossible with a trailer, Mototote has made this process possible with ease

Excellent product

None of my friends who purchased “cheaper” brands recommended their products, so I kept looking and found MotoTote. I am happy that I did. I appreciate the solid materials and build quality. Had it on several trips of 4-plus hours each way without issue. Holds tight with very little wobble in stock configuration, although I added one of the basic U-bolt clamps at the hitch interface to stiffen up the overall package. Deducted one star because printed instructions were poorly executed. A company with a great product should invest the time and effort into creating a great owners manual (in addition to videos) in my opinion. This is a very good product.

Awesome quality, design and customer support. I used it on my Aprilia Tuareg 660 and it worked very well. More nimble that driving with a trailer.
