Black Widow Introduces New Aluminum and Steel Motorcycle Carriers

PAR Posted on

Standard and heavy-duty hitch-mounted carriers are designed for motorcycles up to 600 pounds.

Black Widow®, manufacturer of quality, affordable utility products for the powersports market, introduces a collection of standard and pro dirt bike and motorcycle carriers that support up to 600 lbs. Accommodating all motorcycle sizes from youth to large cruisers, Black Widow’s motorcycle carriers are compatible with a 2-inch Class III/IV hitch in three material compositions: lightweight aluminum, powder-coated steel, or a steel and aluminum combination.

Standard carrier models are rugged enough for moderate to frequent use while pro models offer longer loading ramps for a milder incline and incorporate heavy-duty construction for the rider who regularly hauls their motorcycles. All the carriers feature a self-storing loading ramp that bolts to the carrier to prevent misplacement. The standard models offer left- and right-side ramp use for forward loading and unloading, and the pro models load and unload solely on the right side due to the built-in wheel chock design.

Part #: MX-600X; MSRP: $209.99

The MX-600X carrier supports larger street bikes, scooters, and motorcycles up to 600 lbs.

Part #: MCC-600; MSRP: $289.99

The MCC-600 includes a wheel chock with eight adjustable positions to stabilize front motorcycle tires when loaded in the carrier. The self-storing ramp sets up only on the passenger side because the wheel chock sits on the left side of the track. It accommodates the largest max tire size at 8” wide, and the track is 79” long to accommodate larger bike models up to 600 lbs. Adhered reflectors add visibility for other drivers.

Part #: SMC-600R; MSRP: $289.99

The SMC-600R also features an extra-long loading ramp and has a lightweight aluminum track secured by a steel frame. Like the MCC-600, the ramp sets up on the right side only as the wheel chock is permanently mounted to the track which fits tires up to 7.5” wide. The chock has seven adjustable positions to accommodate multiple wheel sizes. The aluminum track has a unique aesthetic against the black powder-coated steel frame, for greater corrosion-resistance than the steel track of MCC-600.

With a variety of styles, capacities and affordable price points, Black Widow offers a range of carriers designed to fit the needs of their customers. From short trips to seasoned cross-country expeditions, Black Widow carriers keep motorcycles safe and secure in transit, and readily accessible once they arrive at their destination.
