Will this work with a fat tire bike with 4" tires?

This rack holds the bike by the rims. So, yes it will work for your bike as long as the rims are held securely by in the "v" of the rack there is no reason it will not work.

Not sure, but I believe it will. The rim size is the limiting factor for the hangers.

I think it should work fine. It just slides over the top of the spare tire with some straps that go around underneath. I found it a little wobbly with the bike on the rack so I just put some bungees to the corners of the bumpers. Good luck.

Yea, I think it should. The two parts that articulate with the bike on either side of the tire are concave and can be tightened down nicely.

I have mountain bikes in my rack and no problem with it holding those tires. Looks like it can handle tires up to 31/4 inches wide. If your tires are bigger then that, it might not work for you.

It fits on my Trek Wahoo with fat tires. Bontrager 29-1, 29x2.1"Not sure if your tire is bigger than that and I would say that I would not try it on anything much bigger.

the fat tire won't be a problem. to see if it will fit on any bike, take a look at your rear fork. just above or to the side of the slot where the rear axle mounts, you need to have a tapped hole (most bikes have 2 holes, both are tapped the same). that is the primary mounting support, if you have that set up then you are good to go. no, this carrier is not flimsy, it will easily and safely support its rated load.

I am able to do it with my son's bike. It has 12" tires and is a small bike. I am not able to use my larger road bikes on this stand so that may impact if this stand is right for you.

sure.As long as the bike is 24" or larger wheel.I find the wheel must touch the roller pretty well, or it does not put any restriction on the tire.

I have two 29s that I put in this rack. It workss best if you load them with the back tire in the rack, side by side, and then use a strap to keep them from rocking too much. Without that, , the bikes will tip. With the strap, works like a charm.

the 4-place bike unit requires a 2" receiver. as long as you have, you should be ok. Great bike Rack for the price.

I am not sure. I bought a Huffy bike that had a built on back rack over the back wheel. It is a spring loaded system so unless it is smaller than the base, I would think it would work. Amazon is always good about returns

There is space for 6 bikes with a maximum tire width of 2 and 3/8 inches. So - yes it will.

my guess is it will work. the tire is wider but should be Ok. my tires are wider than my rims, It works great, looks great also.

Yes it will. Just got back from a Colorado trip and the rack was a life saver! Just make sure the bikes do not exceed manufactures bike weight rating limit.

I think you can probably make it work. The rack is wide, and the height is easily adjusted,so I don't think fat tires would be a problem.The front stays swivel and extend where they connect to the rack, so you have a lotof options there even without bending anything. If you want to connect directly to thehub, I think you could do it by replacing the lower hardware with some kind of kludge(the standard hardware is narrower than the axle, so I'm skeptical about drilling itout).

i'm sure it would I use it on an electric bike with a really fat hub so i would think on a fat tire your wpuld be good to go

The stock front tire cradle handles my 2.4 inch tires well but anything wider probably isn't going to fit. Kuat does offer replacement tire cradles on their website and with the popularity of fat bikes its just a matter of time for the wider cradle but there were none available when I checked today.
