Folding and Tilting Hitch Mounted Bike Racks




In order to provide better access to the rear cargo area of a vehicle, manufacturers design certain bike carriers with a folding or tilting mechanism. The upright bar of a folding bike rack tilts away from the vehicle, creating more space around the trunk or tailgate. These are some of the most popular bike racks available.
