Overview
Slotting into a hitch receiver, this alloy steel platform rack carries two bikes on trays with dual wheel-clamping hooks that avoid frame contact. A tilting mechanism swings the load away to reach the cargo area, and the rack folds when empty.
Motorhome approval, locking cables and a tilt-away design make it useful for RV owners as well as car and truck drivers. The limitation is receiver size, since only a two inch hitch works, and larger tires need optional holders sold separately.
Who it's for
Cyclists carrying e-bikes, mountain bikes or road bikes behind an RV, truck or SUV are the target. Owners with tow-behind trailers or smaller receivers cannot use it, and fat bikes with oversize tires will need the optional holders.
Pros and cons
- Wheel clamps avoid frame contact
- Tilts for cargo access
- Integrated locking cables
- Folds up compactly
- Two inch receiver only
- Fat tire holders sold separately
- Not for tow-behind trailers
Performance notes
Clamping the wheels instead of the frame protects paint and carbon tubes, and the trays set the spacing between bikes. The tilt mechanism pivots the load away so the rear hatch or cargo area opens even when the rack is loaded. Combined weight must stay within the stated load limit.
