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 hoops, 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 hoops 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 smaller 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).

Looking forward to hitching the bikes on the rack soon.
The bike rack came packaged very securely. Directions were easy to follow. I have used it one time and it held my lightweight road bike very well. Seems like it would work well with heavier bikes as well.

Ive had the rack for a year now. I used it to carry my road bike on a 2000 plus mile trim through mountains and other hazardous terrain. It worked very well and kept my bike safe. Great Product.
This is an excellent, well-constructed bike rack. For much less money than other racks, it is rugged and easy to use. The locking mechanisms work well, but are also optional. I appreciate this feature as I often ride in rural areas and don't need to lock the bikes down to the rack during transport, so this makes loading and unloading that much easier. Very happy with this.
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!

This rack has served me very well over the past year. It is hard to beat for the money. I use it year round to carry my fat tire bike through the tough winters of Erie, Pa. with no issues. Good product.
Rack worked great for our trip out to the Desert Southwest last year from the Outer Banks of NC. Almost 8 thousand miles on that trip with only 1 minor issue with the rack. The built in wobble stopper would back out after a couple hundred miles of driving and the bike movement would become quite noticeable. Problem solved by keeping a wrench handy and tightening the bolt at stops. The loosening seemed to happen less frequently towards the end of that trip.
All in all, it was a good purchase for us and did the job.
Great value and great quality! Hooked up nice and easy and works great.

Meh. It’s become very shaky, and the mechanism to lock the bikes into place has become very hard to use, as has the lock itself.
Easy to assemble, solid feel and build, folding to store on the wall is a great feature. I found it very easy to configure for my bikes. Lowering the upright post to load the inner bike makes it much easier to use! For 1/3-1/4 of the price of bigger names I am very happy.
We are very happy with this bike rack. The rack is very sturdy and we love the locking bolt that keeps the rack from moving within the hitch receiver. The ratcheting locking hooks that keep each bike secured work great too. The rack folds up nicely as well. We use the rack on the back of our pickup truck and the back of our fifth wheel trailer and it works perfectly on both. I would highly recommend this product.

After a year, we are still very happy with this very sturdy bike rack. We have used it on 5 RV trips on the back of our 5th wheel, including from Florida to Maine and back and it remains in top shape.
I bought this bike rack from etrailer during the worst of the Covid supply chain issues. I couldn’t be happier with the product and the experience of buying through etrailer. But there are many bike rack configurations out there. I did a lot of research beforehand to make sure this particular rack would meet my needs and work for my particular bikes. I’d recommend any prospective buyer do the same. Two pluses are worthy of comment. The price of this Hollywood rack was quite reasonable compared to others. Lastly, etrailer provided outstanding communications and customer service.
Hollywood racks are build strong, I have two, an older 4 bike and this 2 bike Trail rider model. I like the locking feature, locks the bike in the receiver hitch and locks the bikes on the rack. Side fold up when not in use, center bar folds down for easy loading of the first bike. 5 Stars!
It takes some time getting used to repositioning the wheel brackets for different sized bicycles, but overall this rack does an excellent job! I love that the hooks actually lock in place so that I can securely leave the bikes on the car when I travel.
The one-year review - I'm still really happy with the rack purchase after having it for 12 months. I'd estimate that I've used it between 25 and 30 times and the only issue I've had was when trying to load my bike along with another bike with a modern top tube design. It wasn't possible to have the vertical arms hold both bikes in place (a YT and a Scott Spark fyi). This hasn't been a problem for other combinations of bikes I've tried including adult and kids bikes.
I got this for use with two full-fender bikes, and I'm very pleased with it. The value is excellent. Assembly was straightforward. It's easy to adjust the wheel trays for your bikes, and very simple to use once adjusted. There's no shortage of pictures of this rack on cars, but one of my concerns was where to store my rack when it's not on my car, and the fold-up aspect of this rack made it one of my top choices. Pictured is the rack in the corner of my garage; I intend to install a low profile hook in the wall to hang it from, but it balances nicely (bottom heavy) on the slab. The lumber is 2x3, not 2x4, for scale.
Great bike rack!! Wanted something to haul our 2 bikes on our Honda Civic to get to bike trails a ways away. The bikes are secure and ride well. The rack's very easy to install, use, and remove. We made a good choice.
Excellent rack! Would buy again and from etrailer.com
The assembly of the rack was very simple and easy. We used it for the first time today. The loading and securing the bikes was as simple as the assembly. The test will later this summer when we take our bikes on a 3,000-mile road trip. Also, the travel cover we use for our bikes easily went on using the new bike rack.
The bike rack is a great product, easy to use and secure. Would give it 5 stars if it was a little lighter in weight. I do highly recommend this bike rack!
Fantastic bike rack; easy to use and not bulky on the car. This was purchased for our daughter and I plan to get one for my own bike soon!
Very nice rack for an affordable price. Should fit my needs for occasional bike transport very well. etrailer really has their act together, great website, fast shipping. Great experience.
HR200Z Hollywood rack was a great buy. After a year of using it quite often, I find it is holding up well. The only alteration I made was on the pins where the metal wire attaches. Originally, every time I inserted them, or took them out, my finger was cut from the sharp wire strands endings. But all is well after filing them a bit, and then covering them with tape. I like the fact there is a way to lock both the rack to the car, and a bike to the rack.
Extremely well-built, easy to install, and holds my bikes securely. I'm happy with this rack. It's exactly what I needed at a fair price.
Awesome rack. I keep it on all summer. When there are not bikes on it, it folds up nicely. It's very secure and encourages me to use it by design.
Just assembled it. Very easy to do. Looks like a solid bike rack. We’ll see how well it does over the next few years. Looking forward to using it.
I've been using this bike rack for over a year now and I love it. I only carry one bike so I leave off the farthest rack to make it a little more compact. Some minor rust spots popped up pretty shortly after using it around the holes for the steel pegs that allow the tire holders to fold up and down. Nothing to worry about though as it was just minor surface rust where the steel peg actually makes contact with the hole and it never went past the circumference of the hole. There is really nothing that the manufacturer could do to stop that as any coating they put on there would get rubbed off by inserting and removing the steel peg over and over, or even just from it vibrating inside the hole. A few months ago I did have to spray some lock lube into the lock as it was getting tough to press in to slide the top arm up and down, but again that is normal since it's out in the weather. The only other thing I would mention is that when a bike is installed (in the closest position to the trunk) I'm unable to open my trunk as the handlebars are in the way. Again, that is to be expected and I'm pretty sure most other cars will have the same issue. I don't mind as I like the bike to be as close as possible to the car without touching it which is how this bike rack is set up. I use the bike rack at least twice a week and I would definitely recommend it without hesitation. I've included a couple of pictures - one right after I installed it (over a year ago) and one from today.
I purchased the Hollywood Rack for two Bikes due to the superb workmanship with other products that we have purchased. I absolutely love the quality of this equipment. It's rock solid, heavy duty material that makes this rack superior to all others in the market place.
