- Recommendation for an Economical 2 Inch Hitch Bike Rack for Carrying 4 Bikes On a 2011 Honda Pilot

- I called the supplier (SportRack) to see if the wheel cradles are adjustable on the SportRack Hitch Bike Rack, # A30901LR, and they said that they are not adjustable.
The bike tires sit in the sloping trays, which will center the bike on the rack. Then the wheel straps attach around the wheel and by using the ratcheting buckles it secures the wheels to the tray.
The bike rack does come with a locking hitch pin that locks the bike rack to the receiver hitch.
