Getting a mix of bikes mounted doesn’t have to be a puzzle. The Destination’s padded frame holders rotate 360° and slide up or down the center mast so each bike—large or small, sloped or straight—fits securely. Curved wheel trays handle wheelbases up to 48", and padded ratcheting straps cinch down tight with a satisfying click. From a 29er mountain bike to a 24" kids’ ride, everything fits and stays steady on the road.
Nothing ruins a trip like a rack that wiggles the whole way. The included anti-rattle hitch pin locks the rack to the receiver and tightens down with a tool to eliminate sway and rattle. That same pin doubles as a lock to deter theft, so the rack stays put when you step away. It’s a solid, no-wobble setup that gives real peace of mind on long drives.
At just 42 lbs total weight, this platform rack is easy to lift and install solo, yet it still carries four bikes up to 35 lbs each. The black powder-coated steel frame stands up to rough roads without rusting or bending. For anyone tired of heavy carriers, this one is a relief to move and a workhorse once it’s loaded.
When the ride’s done, the Destination folds neatly against the back of the vehicle. A removable pin and simple knob make the whole move quick—no tools, no struggle. Folded up, it’s compact enough for parking or storage without taking over the garage.
Built for 2" x 2" hitch receivers, the Destination spaces bikes 8" apart to keep handlebars and pedals from clashing. A 3-3/4" shank rise gives extra clearance off the ground, and all hardware is built to last. It’s a simple, sturdy design that makes carrying four bikes feel effortless, trip after trip.

I’ve ordered multiple products from etrailer and the service is always attentive and delivery is fast. This bike rack installed easily and holds our four bikes securely (we have two adult and two kids bikes).
Very easy to install, less than 20 minutes. Easy to carry any types of bikes. The straps can be moved around to accommodate any types of bikes. This is my first bike rack and I really like it. Accessing trunk is difficult and difficult to park vehicle in tight space. It was delivered as promised and good customer service. I highly recommend it.
Outstanding product! I used to have a hanging rack. This platform rack is 10 times easier to load. The bikes don’t touch each other when loaded, and they remain solid throughout transportation. Can’t believe I put up with my other rack for several years.... I guess I needed to “get my money’s worth” out of it. We have two adult bikes and two kid’s bikes. With the design of this rack, it would easily handle 4 adult bikes, or 4 kid’s bikes for that matter. I will definitely be recommending this product to people I know.
Great personalized serve
Outstanding delivery and free shipping
Easy to assemble
Well thought out and will be a cinch to use
Rock solid on my Jeep Grand Cherokee
Outstanding value!!!
Thanks 1000k!
Great quality bike rack for affordable price. Assembly was easy. Assembly instructions are easy to follow and etrailer videos and pictures help a lot. I've also installed CURT 53201 Auxiliary Automotive LED Light Strips for improved visibility. Shopping with etrailer was easy. Their customer service is great.
Very happy with this bike rack! Easy one person assembly and install and very secure on the hitch. We have 4 adult bikes, on a 2018 Subaru Outback, and they all fit easily into place with only slight adjustments to pedal placement. The 3 strap system for each bike means no movement of the bikes while driving and with the added red straps, we had no issues on highways at higher speeds.
One year in and it is great. I have a 2021 Subaru accent and it is perfect. We carry 4 adult bikes and while it is a tight fit it works great. The rack is VERY solid and does not move when tightened up. Over the past year we have used it 3-4 times with no issues so far. It is easy to use and one person can easily load and unload the bikes. The tilt up feature is nice and when the rack is down and there are no bikes we can open the back hatch without an issue and there is plenty of clearance. We have been very happy with the performance and the price.
This bike rack is fabulous! We are so impressed with its high quality and ease of use. We have a variety of bike types and sizes, including a 24" cruiser and they all fit perfectly on the rack. The rack is super stable...doesn't move at all, even on the highway. It's very easy to use as well. The manufacturer thought of absolutely everything in designing this rack and the extra red straps that are included are not necessary but are a nice extra safety touch. We were concerned whether it would fit the hitch set up on our 2016 Subaru Outback and it turned out that it fits perfectly. You just need to make sure that there is at least 6 inches of clearance between the middle of the hitch pin hole and the edge of the bumper. We are so pleased with this purchase!
After going back and fourth on what rack to choose I finally settled with the destination rack. It seemed like there was more people with buyers remorse on the higher end units. I almost pulled the trigger on the Saris superclamp I like that it's made in Wisconsin and also its low profile design. I read one to many bad reviews on wheel holders breaking. My rack arrived very quickly. Setup was painless and required minimal time. Two of the knobs for straps were broken, not sure how this happened. A quick email to etrailer and I was back in business repair parts were sent out strait away with no fuss. The rack is really nice, seems plenty sturdy and is lightweight at the same time. I found a location in my garage I was able to mount it on the wall. Overall etrailer and Hollywood racks treated me right and I recommend them.
Bike rack is excellent. I took it across country through the Rocky and Teton Mountains with three bikes, two of which were heavy e-bikes. No problems whatsoever. It has aged well with none of the rusting issue I've had with other racks. The ergonomics of the design is easy to load the bikes and relatively lighter than my previous one. Thus, I can install it by myself. The tie downs for the wheels are a great touch considering other bike rack models without it tend to drop one of the bike's wheels and drag it if the road is too bumpy. I do wish that it didn't obscure my license plate as much, the cops in my area tend to target bike racks for that reason. However, it did save me from having to pay at an automated toll road because the camera couldn't get a decent pic of my license plate to send me the bill.

A drive thru the Rocky's and Teton Mountains sounds like it would be an absolutely beautiful one! Skipping out on a toll I think could be considered a half win, Hales! But, if you do want something to put your plate on to prevent being pulled over, you could use part # Y02713. Happy travels!
I worry sometimes when I buy one of the lowest cost options but I'm very pleased with this rack after first use. Feels very sturdy, was easy to put together, they included a hitch lock, and the ratchet straps feel like the hold my bikes on very securely. They ship with a couple extra ratchet straps which is a nice touch. The only feature that could be improved (and it's probably available on more premium racks) is a quicker way to raise and lower the rack. It's probably because of the price point but you have to unscrew a bold with a knob(very easy) and screw it back in the other position, then lock it with a hitch pin. I bet the more expensive units have a quick up/down latch.
The rack was back ordered and late. I don't fault etrailer, everything has been back ordered and late recently. etrailer, to their credit was very communicative throughout the delay.
Ok so I I was going to buy a safari rack which ended up being about $100 more once you tacked on taxes and shipping from another website. This was on sale and had really good reviews. I bought this and have used it long enough to leave an honest review. It’s a really good rack, quality built, and If anything should break on the rack etrailer has all the replacement parts for very cheap prices. I have used this racks for shuttle duties and held 4 big enduros bikes several times. You don’t need to use the extra red straps sent with the rack for the bikes to be very secure. As someone stated before in the reviews long wheelbase bikes like size L or XL frame enduro or DH bikes might only be able to strap one wheel and frame attachment (the one wheel will be too long to get a good strap on), but all you need to do is drill a hole and move the clamp outboard about 2” and you’ll be good as gold. This rack is awesome and was a heck of a deal. Would recommend and buy again if I ever needed 2 racks?
Also not to mention (not that I really care), but the rack was packaged really nice and didn’t come all damaged from shipping, it was really nicely formed foam that was glued in place and not just some hack job some guy tossed in a box. 10/10 !
Spent months debating what rack to get, really thinking I wanted a big name rack which could hold 2 bikes or expand to 4. So happy I bought this rack for under $[XX] as it will be perfect for my needs and saved me a ton of money. It is very sturdy but also light enough to easily be handled by one person. We have 3 hybrid type bikes and one 29er mountain bike and all four of us ride together only a handful of times per year. I wasn't too concerned about not being able to tilt the rack down with bikes on. A locking hitch pin is included, there is MINIMAL movement of the rack in the hitch, and I barely know the bikes are back there when driving (2020 Honda Pilot). My old hanging style rack would bounce, sway and always gave me an uneasy feeling. This is easy to load (4 bikes in 5-6 minutes) and there is ZERO bike to bike contact. Service from trailer is always top notch; unfortunately it too close to two months to get it but this is a supply chain issue and not an trailer issue (Hollywood Racks own website just says SOLD OUT).
Packaged well. Assembly was simple. Frame is sturdy. Some of the straps seem to loosen up; the middle clamps are positioned well. Overall the frame is solid and it does not bounce in the hitch, but the bikes do shift around and the extra accessory straps are necessary for the best haul of the bikes.

Followup The manual specifically states not to use this on a travel trailer But I did anyway, and the bolt that supports the primary folding mechanism failed. So pay heed to their warning...
This feels like a good quality rack. After assembling it, I tested it with 2 of our kids bikes and they clipped in perfectly. I am definitely looking forward to using this instead of tying them all down together on the camper backpack rack. Assembly was a breeze and I was even able to hang it on the garage wall to get it out of the way.

The Bike Rack is Great! Bikes are easy to lock down and the rack is very stable going down the road. We have carried it on the back of the vehicle and on my front hitch for my truck. The latest truck was a 2500 mile cross country trek. It keeps the bikes well separated and protected from damage and fits a wide range of bike sizes. The rack is a bit heavy and bulky, but I have found a good way to hang it on the wall of the garage. Now, if only it was bigger, I need a 6 bike carrier now! I would still highly recommend for secure carrying.
Got this bike rack to replace one that failed on our resent trip to Florida. Etrailer sent it to a nearby partner company for pickup which saved us. This rack was well made and assembled easily. Drove 1400 miles home with no problems. Rack is super solid and has a locking hitch pin that’s long enough to work in my 2.5” hitch on our Ram truck. Very happy with this rack and Etrailer was great!
Love how sturdy and secure this rack is !!

Amazing product-so many rides and the rack still feels so solid and secure! Got my friend to buy the two bike rack!!
Used it twice so far, it meets my expectations based on other reviews. It's easy to load the bikes (8 minutes or so for 4 bikes) and to move up or down. Glad I bought this "lighter" platform rack rather than the swagman because while it's not hard to get into the hitch, neither is it "light". Anything heavier would definitely be a pain. Hopefully straps etc are durable over the long haul. No problem getting 2 adult and 2 kids bikes on. Glad I went with a platform rack over a bar. My sister has the bar rack and says it's impossible to get 4 bikes on.

one year in, this still works great. straps arent worn, everything works as per my original review
You sent me the wrong thing and I need to have the correct rack sent as soon as possible. I have a trip on 6/19 that I was planning on using this bike rack for.
We've had this for a year and used it about 10 times. We carry 2 adult bikes and 2 kids bikes. It works well. Easier to install and load than a trunk mounted bike rack.
Super easy to load 4 bikes and go. Takes me 5 minutes to get all 4 on the rack, compared to 15-20 with the rack I had before. I would change nothing honestly. It's a fantastic rack. It has performed great. I can now quickly load 2 kids bikes and 2 adult bikes on the rack with no special adapters. We can hit trails faster and spend more time riding. There is no real downside. It's also significantly cheaper than competitors and provides a much easier and smooth experience. Is it a great rack for small families who want to ride together. No adapters needed for different sized bikes and super easy to load and unload. I would not recommend this particular model if you don't plan on using more than 2 slots. But for 3 or 4 it rules.

Practicality is definitely what I look for in a product, too. Thanks for the awesome review, Ian. The real world application and experience are what make a review shine!
The bike rack was very easy to put together
Just 3 main pieces to mount together.
Definitely a quality bike rack.
etrailer has fast shipping and excellent communication.
This is my second purchase from them.
Highly recommend etrailer
Great product!Easy to put together and easier to use. I recommend to everyone who is looking for a bike rack.
I am so glad I splurged for this much nicer platform style rack vs the conventional style with the hanging bikes. We always have a wild diversity of bikes with downtubes going in all directions, and this mounting style made getting the bikes on and off a total breeze. There's a slight learning curve just to figure out which order works best and where the cranks need to be, but once you dial that in, you can get 4 bikes mounted in less than 10 minutes. We bought it for a long trip (+ a 2 week RV trip as well) and I said out loud about 10 times "I'm so glad we bought this one." Assembly was easy and it's lighter than the old two-bike platform rack we used to have. The way the center mounts slide up and down and pivot really make it possible to mount almost anything. The "CLICKS" as you cinch everything down is so satisfying and you can tell it's secure. We had a L MTB with a fat downtube and 2.3" wheels all the way down to a 24" kids bike with a sloped tube. Everything fit. I highly recommend this one if you need to load 4 bikes routinely and you don't want to have to worry every time you hit a bump.
We already had a smaller bike rack, but needed a more substantial rack for the RV trip we had planned. This was perfect for our 4 adult bikes, and we have not only used it on the RV's we've rented the last couple of years, but have started favoring it over our smaller yakima rack for our CrossTrek as well, as its easier to get on/off and load/unload. It's stored outside, covered and shows no sign of wear from usage or weather.
