Overview
A driver with a truck, SUV or camper van gets a platform hitch rack built on the MonoRail platform. It pivots away from the vehicle through a wide swing, so the back end opens even with bikes loaded. Tire mount trays hold the bikes by their wheels.
Access to the rear is the reason to choose it. The rack is a fixed two bike design, and the listing is thin on weight limits per bike and on installation steps.
Who it's for
Drivers who need into the cargo area at campsites or trailheads with bikes still loaded will value the pivot. Families who may add a third rider later should buy a rack that expands, since this one cannot.
Pros and cons
- Swings away for rear access
- Platform style tire mount
- Lifetime manufacturer warranty
- Two bikes only
- Two inch receiver only
- Install steps not given
- Per bike limit unstated
Performance notes
The swing arm pivots on the hitch so the rack moves clear of the rear door, and the platform holds each bike by its tires rather than its frame. The load capacity covers the pair of bikes together, so heavy bikes can use up the limit quickly.
