Review of a Tow Ready 2 Bike Folding Rack


Today we are going to show you part number 63120. This is the two-bike, hitch-mounted, folding rack with frame-mount cradles for 1-1/4 inch hitch. This is from Tow-Ready. This rack carries up to two bikes and works with many alternative and larger tube-frame bikes. However, womens bikes may require an adapter. It has heavy-duty, Velcro, straps which secure the bikes to the carrier, and a powder coated finish to resist corrosion and rust. It has rubberized pads to protect the finish on the bikes as you load them on. And the bike rack tilts forward to allow access to the rear of the vehicle. And also, the shank rises for better ground clearance. It fits 1-1/4 inch hitches only, and the maximum weight on the rack cannot exceed 66 pounds.

We are going to go ahead and show off some of the features on this rack. And to start off, as you can see it has just a standard pin and clip to secure it to the hitch of your car. And then it has this two-inch rise, as described before, to give greater ground clearance as you are driving down the road. OK, next we are going to show you how the tilt feature works. It is pretty simple. You pull the pin out and let it fall forward, toward you, so you can reach the rear of your vehicle. We are going to show you how a bike loads up. Now it is simple enough. You just undo the Velcro straps, put the bike in, and re-strap it down. Now, we are going to use a standard-frame bike for this, just for demonstration purposes. As stated before, the cradles do come with Velcro straps and rubber padding to ensure that the bikes do not get scratched as you load them on. And you can also see that it has a reflector. And there you have it for part number 63120. This is the two-bike, hitch-mounted, folding rack with frame-mount cradles for 1-1/4 inch hitches from Tow-Ready.
