Hitch Racks

Bicycle racks come in many formats such as hitch racks, trunk racks, and roof racks. The ideal one for you will depend on your vehicle type (which affects attachment methods), and how many bikes you want to transport. For vehicles with a hitch and the proper receiver size, hitch racks are the easiest way to get multiple bikes on your vehicle.

sturdy!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

after researching for the most reliable (affordable) bike rack, I chose this one. All the other brands (Thule included) had reports of it breaking apart and letting the bikes fall down in the middle of the road.
This rack is sturdy, doesn't wobble and does it's job. It may not fit 4 big bikes, but for my familiy it's perfect!
Would give 5 stars if it came with more straps. but good deal anyways

Nice and sturdy. It bolts onto the hitch, which may be less convenient than a quick release system, but also means there is nothing that can break.

Worth its price. Very easy installation. I didn't even have to study the installation manual before I started..Works with 1 1/4 and 2" hitches
Please make sure you tighten bolts all the way through the hitch and rack frame. The rack is very sturdy. No sway when carrying bikes. Easy to tilt away from the vehicle when accessing the trunk..

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

Sadly I must give this one star due to the strange length of the draw bar (the part that goes into the receiver. For some reason they have chosen to make this with an unnecessarily long draw bar so that it does not fit into a standard 1 1/4" receiver. I have used several other bike racks and trailer hitches with no issues, and I have never seen a draw bar quiet so long.

If you have a 1 1/4" receiver and there is a back on it, this will not work for you.

Also the 2" adapter that came on it is tightened down so firmly I almost broke an Allen key trying to remove it.

Otherwise it looked like a fairly nice rack, but unfortunately it was unusable for me.

The rubber straps did a fine job of holding the bikes tight

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

We bought this to transport 3 mountain bikes on a 10-hour drive to Albuquerque. The rack performed very will as we bounced over some of New Mexico and Oklahoma's roughest roads, often at interstate speeds. The rubber straps did a fine job of holding the bikes tight. No bending or damage noted on this rack in 20+ hours of driving. One minor issue: the threaded bolt that goes through the Class III receiver worked itself loose about one full turn after 10+ hours driving, making the bikes wobble considerably. A quick turn of the wrench, and we were tight and good to go again. Two recommendations: First, buy the 15' Master Lock cable and loop it around the bikes, through the welded loop on the back of this rack, and through the safety chain hole on your hitch, securing with a quality padlock. We traveled easy knowing this would deter most thieves looking to simply pull a bike off and go. Second, get a second quality padlock and put it through the hole on the threaded bolt that holds the hitch to your receiver. This is a second line of defense to keep someone from taking the hitch, with or without bikes. Happy travels!

Impressed so far

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Update: January 2021
We’ve used it a lot and the only issue is that the bikes rub a little. So putting some padding where the bikes touch is something to consider.

PRO:
--This is a sturdy feeling unit. I am impressed with the welds and the robustness of the design. Everything works like it should.

--Was easy to put together. You will need some wrenches.

CONS:
--I don't particularly care for is the 1.25" to 2" adapter. That thing could be a little more snug. I can shim it up and make it less wobbly/rattle less, but I only do that for longer road trips. The other issue related to this is the hitch pin. It is a threaded bolt with a whole for a pin on the end. You will need a wrench with you to install this snuggly, otherwise the threads are machined well enough you could just hand tighten this in and be fine for shorter rides. Which is what I do.

--The triangles used to support the bike are pretty large. 24" universal mountain bikes with a "top bar adapter" were a little fiddly to get on the rack. I had to raise all the seat posts up to make enough room to get them hung. This could be my technique, but it can be a challenge to hold a heavy bike up that long for some people.

Observations:
I had to learn the hard way that women's bikes and "universal" bikes will require an adapter on most bike carriers of this style. If you are curious, there are three types of frames:
>Mens -- Straight upper bar that goes nearly level with the earth from stem to stem
>Womens -- Swoopy bar that curves and bends, you know when you see it.
>Universal -- These are like a men's bike, but the top bar is angled downward, no bends.
The Allen brand adapter is the least expensive and I have three of them now. There is a review about those where someone got some vinyl hose and wrapped that around the pin that goes under the handle bars. I recommend that too.

The first thing we are going to do is take it on a 5 hour car trip down the interstate to a secluded beach house (you know, covid) I will update the review if anything "Shakes out" on that trip.

The reason I chose this bike rack was the several reviews that mentioned they had used this for years while hauling bikes up and down the USA. I did not pick the ALLEN four bike rack (premium) because there were several reviews that showed bent arms. Time will tell if this was the right "Sub-200" dollar bike rack.

Also - I paid money for this and no one is my keeper. These are my opinions, period.

Gets the job done.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2017

This is a good sturdy bike rack! I have had it now for several months and have used it on several 400+ mile trips. Overall, it is a good rack for the price! I'd like to say that it is great, but there are a few things about it that aren't so great, hence the 4 star rating I've given it.

Pros:
- Price (I paid about twenty $ less than it is currently going for. I don't know that I would have bought it for the current price of 105)
- Sturdy (it is heavy and seems like it will take a lot to break it)
- Works for both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. (Although I haven't used it on a 2" hitch yet, I like the fact that I can if I get a different car in the future.)
- Holds 4 bikes (there aren't many 1-1/4" racks that hold 4 bikes.)

Cons:
- Threaded pin - I absolutely hate the threaded pin/bolt! It is time consuming and a pain to put on and take off the car! I guess the good news is that a thief will give up long before they take the time to steal this rack!.
- The large plastic triangles that the bikes rest on. They are bulky and are difficult to work with for bikes without a standard straight cross-bar.
- In general, this rack is a pain to use with kids' bikes, women's bikes, and men's bikes that don't have a standard straight cross-bar. That being said, you can work around those issues, but it will take lots of time and (in some cases) cost you more by buying an adjustable cross-bar to make non-standard men's bikes work.
- When 4 bikes are loaded on this rack, it makes it difficult for people following you to see your lights on a smaller vehicle (I'm using it on a 2012 Ford Escape). I ended up taking the reflectors off the end of the rack and I added a light bar that has a taillight, brake light, and turn signals built in. While that might not be the fault of the rack alone, it could be easily resolved if the manufacturer would add lights instead of reflectors to the end of the rack.

(Pics show without light bar, with light bar, and a closeup of light bar.)

DOES NOT HOLD MANY MODERN BIKE FRAMES.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

Bought this because of it's good reviews. In 1995 this would have been a great bike rack. If you have a traditional adult size frame with straight across frame members it's fine. However, if you have a kids bike or any mountain bike with angled frames, it MAY NOT WORK. AT ALL. I read the instructions and tried every option to no avail with 2 of our 3 bikes. The one that "fit" was only mounted by putting one of the frame members above the mount and then using the rubber strap to hold the other side of the frame, putting half of the bike's weight on the strap. If the strap broke or came off, the bike would swing down and hit the road. It also caused a number of deep scratches due to the frame contacting a sharp screw trying to mount the bike. Make sure your bike frame is a traditional straight bar from handlebar to seat before you consider this bike rack. Otherwise it is a well built, sturdy product. Just didn't work for any bike we own or any I see in bicycle shops today.

Four Bikes AND Converts from 1.25 to 2"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

The option to change from 1.25 to 2" was just what I needed. This is the only FOUR bike rack that I could find that did this. I searched for quite a while before ordering and I love this rack. It's sturdy, the rubber straps are easy to use and hold well. The threaded bolt holds the rack into the receiver tightly, so no wobble. I put a small padlock through the hole in the included receiver bolt instead of the pin that it comes with to deter theft. Because I like things tight, I also tie my bikes together with a few small ropes to keep the handle bars and pedals secured. There is a metal loop on the main post that fits a cable lock to lock the bikes to the rack. The hanging pieces swivel in place so that you can maneuver the bikes over them when loading - this is a huge plus if the inside of your smaller bikes have small triangles. With three trips behind me, I highly recommend this rack!
