Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles
The Road Runner has dual arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. It also has an anti-sway bar that provides a secondary tie-down point for the outer four bikes. Four included straps secure your bikes to the loops on the anti-sway bar to prevent the wheels and the pedals from spinning. This gives the Road Runner more protection against sway and vibration than many hanging bike racks offer.
To fold the arms down and the anti-sway bar up, unscrew the upper and lower hand knobs, pull the arms out of the grooves, lower each arm, raise the anti-sway bar, and re-tighten the hand knobs. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And when stored in this configuration, it doesn't take up as much space in your garage.
Anti-sway cradles secure each bike twice along the top tube and once along the seat post or downtube. This reduces rocking to help prevent your bikes from banging into each other or into your vehicle. The soft rubber cradles rotate around the arms to accommodate your bikes' frames.
For additional protection to prevent your bikes from banging into each other during transport, wrap the included anti-sway strap through your bikes' frames and tires. It also prevents your wheels and pedals from spinning.
Easy Tilting for Cargo Area Access
The rack tilts down without your bikes loaded. This means you won't have to remove the whole rack to access your cargo area for grocery runs and other errands.
To tilt the rack, loosen the thumb screw at the base of the mast, remove the pin, and lower the rack. When you're ready to go, lift the rack up, re-insert the pin, and tighten the thumb screw.
The rack quickly installs in your hitch receiver, without the need for tools. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the hand lever until snug. Turning the lever deploys an anti-rattle wedge in the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection. Insert the hitch pin into the hole to secure the rack to your receiver.
The rack includes locks to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. An included cable lock threads around your bikes' frames, through the welded-on bar at the base of the rack and inserts back into the end of the cable. The hitch pin also has a keyed-alike lock, so you only need to use 1 key for both locks.
If you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or any other bike without a straight, horizontal top tube, you will need an adapter bar (sold separately) to properly mount your bike. The bar fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to create a top tube so your bike hangs level on the rack.

Easy to put together.
fits perfect. my only problem is i woudl rather have a unit that i could easily press with my feet and adjust to get in the trunk where as this unit i need to manually do it
Sturdy and seems like a quality product. Easy to put together
This rack holds the bikes very secure. I put 2 adult and 1 child's bike on it and could have put a 3rd adult bike no problem. I am happy with this product.
Just tried it out. I so glad I called and spoke to someone that made sure I had everything I needed.
Love the product! Adjuster is great in eliminating travel wobble!
Easy do-it-yourself install.
Fits 2 adult & 1 kid bikes
Easy storage in the trunk when not in use
A little nuisance when getting something out and in the trunk
Good price and comes with many more options than the more expensive bike racks. The customers were very happy with their new rack assembly.
Extremely happy with the product and the quick and easy deliver of the bike rack. The overall experience from beginning to end was fantastic. I assembled the bike rack today and used it to transport two bikes to where we were going to ride with no problem. Very satisfied with the product.
When I received this the box was previously open. It had been re-stapled and tape up. Even the packing material was broken up. But to my surprise. The bike rack was fine. The rack is very strong and can easily carry 2 bikes along with a heavy ebike. Looks like it will suit me fine.
Over all this rack is working out great. I have not fully loaded it yet but it carries my 60 lbs ebike very snuggly and handles my standard street bike no problem at all.
Fits my 2007 Hummer H3 perfect. If you need more than the normal clearance on your vehicle for a bike rack this is the one for you. Easy to use and holds bikes nice.
If the unit is not loaded down with bikes, it rattles constantly. Which get annoying. I understand there is a tension handle that can be cranked but the design still allows for rattling.
etrailer was very helpful in picking out the right trailer hitch mounted bike rack and after this weekend of biking (and carrying our bike on the rack), I can say the rack worked great. It was easy to load and held the bike steady. Many thanks.
The bike rack is very sturdy andit is nice to findone that fits only a 2 inch hitch. My only complaint is with the directions. While they were to the point they were not very visual friendly. The manufacturer could learn a lesson or two from the way IKEA makes visual directions which are very clear and very friendly.
This four bike rack is superior. We have a Jeep with the mounted rear spare tire, so we needed an extra long connector piece. Everything works great, a good price, great customer service. Thanks fr filling an unusual need.
Heavy duty bike rack. Easy to set up.
Really easy to put together and mount to the car. Comes with locks for locking the rack to the hitch receiver AND a bike lock to secure the bikes to the rack itself. Would recommend if you're looking for a good quality bike mount for your hitch.
