Bike Hitch Rack Product Reviews

If you are probing the internet for a bike rack you can quickly get overwhelmed with the many various manufacturers, brands, and styles available. Here is some comment from customers on a few of the racks carried at Ultimate Bike Hitch. I've also worked with these bike hitch and trunk racks personally so I will bring in my opinions as well.
Hollywood Racks are known to be robust, durable racks that won?t hit you hard in the wallet. The Hollywood Traveler series is a bike hitch mount rack available in 3,4,or 5 bike capacity. This is a very inexpensive choice and will work well if you are carrying your average mountain bikes and wandering on paved roads. If you plan on using your bike hitch rack often and sometimes travel on sketchy, bumpy roads; you need to upgrade to the Hollywood Road Runner series of bike hitch. The Road Runner is one of the most enduring bike hitch racks you can get and it comes with a lower anti-sway stabilizer bar to really grasp your bikes strong when you are wandering off road.
Softride makes some of the easiest to manipulate bike hitch racks on the market. These high-end racks are aesthetically designed to look awe-inspiring on any vehicle from a pickup to a luxury suv. Softride bike hitch racks feature a patented ?parallelogram design? which keeps the bike rack dead even with the ground when tilting to load and take down. This facet makes Softride by far the easiest bike hitch to load, unload, and maneuver your bikes. If you want a bike hitch rack that your wife, mom, or kids will have no problem using, than check out Softride. The Dura model is a fabulous 4 bike capacity product, and the Elite model is wrapped in an aluminum coating for added weather resistance.
Raxter Racks make a truly matchless and probably the most handy bike hitch rack. Raxter is distinct from all the others because it holds the wheels of the bike rather than clamping around the frame. This offers some advantages over the others. If you have a really high-priced titanium frame bike or a thin-walled frame bike, you might not want to use a bike hitch rack that clamps around the frame which could produce your brake wires to chafe against the frame. The Raxter Rack eliminates this problem as well as the exasperating bike sway and wheel spinning that you can sometimes get from frame holding bike hitch racks. The other element I like with Raxter Racks is it is much easier to combine styles of bikes on the rack in case you are traveling with road bikes and mountain bikes and kids bikes. The Raxter Rack straightforwardly adjusts for each size and shape of bike.
There are a few other manufacturers worth checking out. Thule and Yakima bike hitch racks are very durable and get great reviews, although they seem to be a little costly. Saris makes an first-rate bike hitch rack, but the receiver is very long and adds a lot of length to the motor vehicle.
So, here is my final recommendation for your bike hitch rack. If you just travel locally with a few mountain bikes and don?t need to take your motor vehicle off road, go with the Hollywood Traveler series. If you go on long trips, or go off road with your vehicle to get to trails; get the Hollywood Road Runner bike hitch rack. If you would like a rack that compliments your luxury vehicle, or want an uncomplicated to load/unload bike hitch rack for the whole family get the Spftride Dura or Elite. If you travel with a mixture of road bikes, mountain bikes, and/or kids bikes; go with a Raxter Rack or Softride Versa 2.
