Specs:
The Commuter is the perfect option for bikers who want a functional, affordable rack that fits both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, transports 1 or 2 bikes to the local park or trail, and easily stores in your trunk or garage between uses.
This lightweight rack weighs just 16 pounds and is simple to install. It slides into your vehicle's hitch receiver and secures with the included anti-rattle bolt, which prevents the rack from rattling around inside the receiver. Leave on the included adapter sleeve to fit the shank into your vehicle's 2" hitch receiver, or remove the sleeve to slide the shank into a 1-1/4" receiver.
Dual Arms with Cradles
Dual arms support your bikes and better accommodate women's, children's and alternative frames. (An adapter bar [HRBA-PRO - sold separately] may still be required.) The arms easily fold down when the rack is not in use - just remove the tethered bail pin.
Soft rubber cradles with straps firmly grip your bike's frame. The cradles rotate and slide along the arms, so you can easily adjust them based on the type and number of bikes you're transporting. And you can use the integrated safety strap to help keep your bikes tied down.
Tilting Mast
The Commuter's upright mast tilts forward to allow access to your vehicle's cargo area. Once your bikes are unloaded, just remove the tethered bail pin from the base and tilt the rack away from the vehicle.
An anti-rattle hitch lock and cable lock set (HRLHPTC - sold separately) is recommended to deter theft of the rack and your bikes.

Mike - 04/02/2019The rack is great. Now I need to find how to keep it from wiggling like it's going to fall off 145999
Patrick B - 08/13/2014Best bike rack I’ve ever owned. Well built, light (<16 lbs) and a lot of attention yo details. Fits perfect in my Honda Fit. 636279

Very fast shipping! And the bike rack is great! Very light which I wanted! 803740
Hitch and Hollywood bike rack are fantastic. Made a 80 mile trip and not a rattle. Service and delivery was quick. 799189
Lightweight and easy to attach and detach from hitch. Feels sturdy. The adaptor sleeve is now metal and four sided, replacing 3 sided plastic sleeve. Highly recommend. Came with instructions for old model which does not mention to orient lower beam such that it does not fold flat when tilted (one side of lower beam is angled). Suggested improvement: replace screw in hitch pin with a self locking (leveraged) pin. 739219
The bike rack came 5 days after I ordered it. Real easy to assemble. Looks sturdy enough. Won't know till the weather warms up a bit. Dan, the service rep, was extremely helpful/knowledgeable about the product. I explained that it was for a 2018 Subaru Forester w/ a 1 1/4" hitch. Wanted something fairly sturdy/reliable without paying a small fortune. Was told etrailer.com got very good feedback on this product. 472431
Very good carrier at this price point. etrailer did a great job on delivery and followup. 458187
Fantastic customer service: The consultants are professional at etrailer and the very best... Contacted etrailer researching a hitch bike rack for my 1 1/4 hitch and specifications about the width of cradle on bike rack. CS and Pat are very competent, these consultants took my calls and with great care discussed my concerns, and answered all questions so that l could make an informed decision. I purchase the HR2500 hitch bike rack. My products arrived 4 days earlier than anticipated without any damage, and items were exactly what l ordered. The products are everything l desired and very well constructed. I am satisfied and happy with my etrailer experiences and bike products. No longer will my bikes look disorganized, bike frames on an angle, when attached to my car. etrailer met my bike transport needs! 427526

A little wobbly in the receiver most likely due to being adaptable to 2" and 1-1/4". Serves my needs 364031
