SportRack® SR2901BLR - Crest 2 Locking Black Hitch Mount Bike Rack (2 Bikes Fits 1-1/4" and 2" Receivers)

It’s not often that a bike carrier with so many features is offered at such a great price, but SportRack has done it with the Hitch Platform Bike Carrier. This carrier’s low platform makes raising your bikes into position virtually effortless, and securing them couldn’t be easier. Just rest each wheel inside the cradles. The cradles can be adjusted to suit different wheelbase bikes just by loosening the knobs and moving the cradles along the tube. Loosen the rubberized frame hook knob on the center post and push the frame hook down to firmly grab the frame, then tighten the knob. The rubber padding on the hook won’t damage the bike finish. Secure the wheels to the trays with the hook and loop wheel straps and you’re ready to roll.

With the Hitch Bike Carrier, you’ll be able to carry everything from kid’s bikes to road bikes to mountain bikes. Each of the hooks on the center post can be positioned independently, as can the wheel cradles, so you can carry different size and design bikes at the same time. The Hitch Platform Bike Carrier can carry up to 2 bikes with a maximum weight of 90 lbs. or a single bike with a maximum weight of 45 lbs. The carrier can be directly installed in a 1 1/4" receiver, but a 2” receiver requires use of the included adapter. To prevent rack sway, the carrier is secured to the hitch receiver with a “no wobble” threaded hitch pin. To prevent theft, a locking hitch pin can be installed (sold separately).

When you need to open the hatch, trunk or tailgate, most hitch mounted carriers are in the way, but not this one. If you need gear from the rear of your vehicle, just remove the clip, pull the pin, and let the center post tilt down. When not in use, both wheel cradle tubes can be folded up for compact storage.

An optional cable lock is available to lock the bikes to the carrier. The cable lock is also available in a kit that includes the optional locking hitch pin. The Hitch Bike Carrier comes with instructions detailing how to mount the carrier on your vehicle, and how to mount bikes to the carrier. The limited lifetime warranty applies to the original purchaser of the product, and warrants the product against manufacturer’s defects in materials or workmanship.
