Question:
do the arms that hold the bike on the softride dura fold down like the ones on the softride element when not in use?

Expert Reply:
The item you selected, the Softride Dura Parellelogram Tilting 4 Bike Rack, part # SR26247, arms do not fold down like the Softrirde Element Bike Rack, part # SR26248..
The arms on part # SR26247, do come off with the push of a button for easy storage though. The reason why the arms do not fold like the Softride Element Bike Rack is because part # SR26247, is made to carry more weight and there is a plate that supports the arms preventing the bike rack from folding.
I have linked a video overview of the Softride Dura Parellelogram Bike Rack below.
