The Softride Elite features a tilting parallelogram design that keeps the rack arms and bikes level at all times. Most racks tilt down and dip bikes close to the ground when they allow rear vehicle access. The Elite, however, maintains a straight angle when it moves away from the vehicle, always carrying bikes in an upright position. The Elite has two parallel upright bars that move together to provide the unique folding parallelogram design. Two hitch pin holes help fine tune the distance between the rack and vehicle.
Rugged tie-down straps safely secure bikes to the soft, rubberized cradles. Anti-sway cradles are built-in to grab the bikes at a third point. This third point works to prevent bikes from swaying front to back. Safety reflectors at the end of each arm provide nighttime visibility.
A spring-loaded, quick-release pull pin handle is easily accessible near the top of the upright bar. Simply pull it out to allow the rack to tilt away from the vehicle, providing trunk or cargo area access. The arms can also remove for convenient storage. This done by simply sliding the quick release buttons located on the back of the steel top plate. An optional Softride Wall-Mounted Bike Storage Station is sold separately to hold the removed arms and bikes when you're not on the trail.
