Overview
A driver with a trailer hitch can slide the Chinook into a receiver of either listed size and carry two bikes on a platform. The cam lever tilts and folds the carrier, and adjustable wheel trays hold the bikes.
The dual receiver fit means one rack suits more vehicles, and the platform design carries the bikes by their wheels. The load rating is the limit to check with heavier bikes. The description covers the brand's history only, so use the specs for fit details.
Who it's for
Cyclists with a one-and-a-quarter or two inch receiver who haul a pair of bikes to trailheads suit this rack. Riders with heavy e-bikes or a vehicle without a hitch should choose a different carrier.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
A platform carrier holds each bike by its wheels in a tray, and the anti-wobble feature is meant to limit sway on the hitch. The cam lever handles the tilt and fold, though the listing does not describe the steps.
