Specs:
The Trail Rider platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry 1 or 2 bicycles on the rear of your vehicle. This versatile rack is easy to use and it features locking frame hooks and adjustable wheel trays, so you can quickly load and unload your bikes. The included adapter sleeve enables the rack to fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. A locking, anti-rattle hitch pin tightens the rack's shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the receiver.
Locking, Ratcheting Hooks
Constructed of rugged steel with a sleek black powder coat finish, the Trail Rider uses locking frame hooks to secure your bikes. The ratcheting hooks are easily adjusted along the vertical mast and lock securely in place. The push buttons allow the hooks to slide up the ratcheting system to allow for bike removal. The lock cores keep the hooks from being moved up or down on the mast to deter theft. The hooks are different sizes and each one functions independently, meaning the rack can carry 2 bikes of the same or different heights.
Adjustable Wheel Holders
The wheel holders accommodate bicycles with wheelbases up to 60", and you can adjust the wheel hoops by sliding them along the horizontal arms. They are secured in place with hand knobs. Velcro-like hook-and-loop straps secure your bike's wheels to the holders.
If you want to carry a fat bike on the Trail Rider, you can replace the rack's wheel trays with specifically-designed fat bike cradles (HRSPRWH-F-HD - sold separately).
Folding Design
The Sport Rider's folding design makes it easy to store your bike rack. Simply fold up the arms for compact storage.
Easy Installation with Locking Hitch Pin
The Trail Rider easily installs in your hitch with the included locking hitch pin. Just slide the shank into your receiver, insert the hitch pin, and then tighten it down with the included tool. The pin also works as an anti-wobble device to eliminate sway and rattle in the receiver. The frame hook locks and the hitch lock are conveniently keyed alike.
A removable adapter sleeve is included so the rack can be converted for use with 1-1/4" hitch receivers. The sleeve attaches to the shank with a single screw and can be installed or removed quickly.
Add-On Adapters
If you want to use the rack to transport a kid's bike with 16" or 18" wheels, wheel hoop adapters (HRSW-ADP-2 - sold separately) are available.
If you want to transport 1 recumbent delta trike or 1 recumbent tadpole-style trike with the Trail Rider, you can use the HRTRK-ADP adapter (sold separately).

This platform-style rack holds 2 bikes with ratcheting frame hooks and sliding wheel cradles. Frame hooks lock to secure your bikes to the rack. Bike trays fold up for storage. Includes anti-rattle hitch pin.This was a good choice for my Nissan Murano. In the folded up position there was clearance for the lift gate to open and close. It was relatively easy to install and the snug fit to the hitch does not allow any wobble. 779698
Very happy with this purchase although the original assembly came with a dysfunctional lock on one of the hooks. I called and described the problem and was promptly sent a new pair that worked as intended. Great customer service! Also bought a hitch that mounted easily to my Murano using the video provided by etrailer. One year of long and short trips and still very happy with the purchase and the follow up. 782522
After looking on line and not quit sure which bike rack to order for my 4 Runner I called etrailer and Emily was very helpful in recommending the Hollywood model. It was shipped in a timely manner and was very easy to assemble. It is of good quality and a great value for the price. etrailer was great and very easy to work with. 778849
I assembled the bike rack the evening it got it. The instructions along with your online video were great tools to get it built ind install on my Nissan Frontier pickup. I drove 20 miles today and the rack held my bike secure. I have heard some stories about weather affecting the rack if you leave it in the elements which makes sense to me. After using it today I detached it from my truck and stored it in my garage out of the elements. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this bike rack. It is very beefed up and sturdy. I have ordered from etrailer before and customer service has always been excellent. The box came to me undamaged and packed very well. All parts were present. Totally happy experience. 774298
Don't know what this product is like because I haven't even had a chance to get it out of the cargo box and try it yet before you started hounding me about a review. I just got it yesterday afternoon. And besides, I'm not going to use it for a while but I'm assuming that it will satisfy my needs to transport 2 bicycles safely and securely. By watching your video, I saw what I needed and it appeared that it is a good product. Therefore I don't have a rating yet?!! Nor will I for some time. Thanks. 727150
Arrived very quickly, looks great and exactly what we need to transport two bikes when we go camping EXCEPT that we ordered this to use on a receiver hitch on a towed vehicle, but when we opened the box and read all the instructions, they very specifically said NOT to use in that manner due to subtle swaying of towed vehicle causes metal fatigue and eventual failure of the product so we've order a dual receiver hitch adapter so we'll be able to load the bikes between the RV and the towed vehicle. Hopefully, it will get here as quickly so we can use it this week-end!! 5 stars because of customer service; everyone was very helpful and informative. 736417
Excellent bike rack and easy to install. There were two 'extra' washers not mentioned in the instructions but evidently that they are to be used in Assembly instruction Step 1(5) with the two spacers. 658562
Even though I’ve done a lot of biking, I have never had a bike rack before. I wanted a sturdy, functional rack that would last me for years. This is a nice rack; well made, heavy duty and I especially like the built in locks for attaching the rack to the car and for keep the bikes locked in place. Thanks for a great product! 723366
Quick delivery ... Easy to put together ... Great for carrying one bike or two ... Test drive was good, did not shake or rattle 668530
Fast shipping. Great product at a great price. 705581
La entrega fue a tiempo, el ensamble fue fasil, los materiales se miran de buena calidad, me gusta y si hubiera algo que mejorar solamente seria que cuando no se usa se doblara hacia el carro. Translation: The delivery was on time, the assembly was facile, the materials look good quality, I like it and if there was something to improve it would only be that when it is not used it will bend towards the car. 605433
Heather A - 02/16/2019Ordering from etrailer was a very good, professional experience; the rack was delivered in 2 business days, well packed and without any shipping damage. etrailer gets 5 stars! Regarding the product....The Hollywood HR200Z rack is easy to assemble with the provided parts and tools. Pros: 5" rise of the main receiver bar tube provides good ground clearance, the 3" inside-width wheel holder hoops accommodate broad range of bike tire widths, overall construction and fit is very good, the main tube fits into class I, II, III hitches, includes an adapter sleeve so it can fit into 2" hitch. The horizontal tubes can fold up 90 degrees, to reduce the rack's storage footprint. Cons: I am concerned that the frame hook ratcheting mechanism may not be reliable, due to somewhat delicate parts & construction used for the mechanism. In fact, one of the ratchets that came with my rack was not usable because the springs don't stay in their designed position, and end up blocking the ratchet release rocker button from moving enough to release the ratchet so it can move. (In actual use, that results in not being able to get your bike off the rack, because you can't move the hook.) Hollywood was very responsive and has offered to replace the ratchet hook part asap. That is greatly appreciated! (But I might end up using simpler hand knob clamp frame hooks.) 718263
I am so happy with this bike rack! I had originally ordered a Swagman model for my Mazda 3 Hatchback, but Michelle S. contacted me when it wasn't immediately available. She recommended this brand. I love it! It was easy to assemble and the bikes are so secure. I love that it locks to my car, and that the hooks lock with the same key. The velcro straps for the tires are an added bonus. Very easy to use. The bikes hardly moved at all during our 3 hour drive this past weekend. My boyfriend and I have polar opposite sized bikes, and it was not a problem at all. They don't touch, and are very secure with this rack. It was a relief to travel and not have to worry about the bikes damaging each other or our vehicle. I am so thrilled with this product! I can't recommend it highly enough! 693997
Great product. Arrived earlier than scheduled. The packaging was great. Directions were clear and accurate. Assembly was a breeze. My only caveat is that it comes with a threaded pin for the hitch an it’s smaller diameter than my hitch pin. [A standard pin would be easier]. 667244
Excellent bike rack. Looks Good and works even better. Not a big bulky mass on the back of your vehicle like the more expensive models. 661334
I was so surprised How quickly I receive my bike rack Customer service quality trailer apart. 633369
Excellent bike carrier. Well made with good features to make loading and unloading simple. Will need bar to properly load ladies bike. 662561
There is no reason to spend more on a two-bike carrier. I assembled the rack, attached it to my new hitch, and drove to San Francisco from Long Beach. Solid, secure, and safe. I love it! 847500
Easy assembly and seems well made for its purpose. Holds both bikes securely and should work well. Only 1 two hour drive but there were no problems. 845725
I was concerned that smaller sized steel tube would not hold up the weight of my heavier fat tired electric bikes, but it performed well over a 2500 mile trip on the west coast. I had to buy the optional larger Fat bike loops for the fat tires. They had to be offset to accommodate to bikes. No problem removing the narrow ones and installing the larger loops. I had to lube the vertical tube so the locking bike stays could raise and lower easily, and I used short sections of split styrofoam pool noodles on the bike frames to insure they weren’t scratched up while on the road. The locking vertical stays provided security and were super easy to raise and remove the bikes. Overall, a good purchase. 831617
This is a sturdy well-build rack for two bikes. It's a little heavy for a ten year old to insert into the hitch but it does not take up a lot of space and it easily swings out of position so you can enter the rear of your vehicle. The added accessory straps and crossbar make it easy to secure your bikes without having the anxiety of someone removing them from the rack. I am very pleased with this purchase! 830476
I was impressed with this bike rack from the minute I unpacked it. The assembly was simple & straight forward. I looked at quite a few bike racks & for the price point this product was hard to beat. It is well designed & the keyhole pins make it easy to remove & fold up when not carrying the bikes. The locking hitch pin & locking frame bars are convenient and fairly secure. I will add my cable lock to make the bikes even a little more tamper proof. So far I’m very happy with this his purchase. Now the test of time! 830270
We actually had this bike carrier delivered to a planned two-day stop (a family friend) in the middle of a two month tour of the U.S. It arrived well packed in a sturdy box with all the essential pieces-parts included. I put the rack on the next morning in less than 30 minutes using the basic hand tools (mainly a crescent wrench & screwdriver, as I remember) that anyone would have on such a trip. This rack replaced one (reputable brand) that we had started the trip with, but had proven unable to safely hold my wife’s new bike which had a non-traditional geometry and flat-oval top tube. Between the padded clamp that pushes down (gently) over the bike’s top tube and the weight of the bike being held from below by the wheel loops, I believe it would hold just about any bike securely, for any distance. Cannot think of anything I would change or improve on this carrier. 828841
Very nice. Easy assembly, VERY adjustable, folds up nicely, easy on & off the car. Bikes are easy on & off too. Appears to be very well made. 826331
As to be expected haven't used it as much as I would've liked but find it very sturdy and fairly easy to use 825217
