Overview
Loading two bikes onto a hitch starts with lifting them into the wheel platforms, strapping the wheels and closing the push-button ratcheting grip arms over the frames. The rack folds in a clam-shell design when not in use.
The reason to buy is a platform design with coated grip arms that avoids bike-on-bike and bike-on-car contact. The limits are the load figures and the exclusions: carbon frames are not recommended and the rack does not accept padlocks.
Who it's for
Riders with a hitch receiver who carry two bikes with wheels in the listed range will use the platform and folding design. Owners of carbon frames, very heavy e-bikes or fat-tire bikes should check the stated limits.
Pros and cons
- Platform style, wheels supported
- Ratcheting grip arms
- Folds when not in use
- Fits two hitch sizes
- Not for carbon frames
- No padlock acceptance
- Load limit per bike is modest
Performance notes
The wheel platforms carry the weight and the grip arms steady the frames, so the load is supported from the base. A built-in anti-wobble device and an anti-rattle hitch pin reduce movement at the hitch. Sliding platforms adjust for wheelbase and wheel size within the listed ranges.
