Overview

A single pin releases the carry arms so they drop out of the way and fold down flat, and the rack tilts up for lift gate access. It plugs into the receiver and uses a bolt to hold it still.

Quick setup and fold-away arms are the reasons to consider it for a family with several bikes. The limitation is the load figure, which is modest for four bikes and should be checked against the weight of the bikes.

Who it's for

Drivers who haul a group of bikes will use the fold-flat arms when the rack is idle. Heavy bike owners and vehicles with other receiver sizes should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Arms fold flat when unused
  • Rack tilts up for lift gate access
  • Patented tie-down system
Cons
  • Load rating looks low for four bikes
  • Minor assembly required
  • Fits two inch receivers only

Performance notes

A no-wobble bolt clamps the rack inside the receiver, which cuts the rocking that hitch racks tend to have. Individual cradles hold each bike, and a tie-down strap helps secure them. Total bike weight must stay within the load rating.
