Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles

Hollywood Racks Road Runner 2-Bike Hanging-Style Rack Folding Dual Arms with TriggerFinger Lever

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.


Hollywood Racks Road Runner armsHollywood Racks Road Runner 2-Bike Hanging-Style Rack TriggerFinger Lever

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.


Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5-bike Hanging-Style Rack Folding Cradles

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.


Hollywood Racks anti sway strap

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

Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5-Bike Hanging-Style Rack Tilting

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.


Hollywood Racks Road Runner 2-Bike Hanging-Style Rack Lower HitchSwitch Lever

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.


Tool-Free Installation

Hollywood Racks Road Runner installation

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.


Complete Security

Hollywood Racks Road Runner locks

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.


Available Adapter Bar

Hollywood Racks adapter bar

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.



by:

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



by:

Sturdy and seems like a quality product. Easy to put together



by:



by:

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.



by:

Just tried it out. I so glad I called and spoke to someone that made sure I had everything I needed.



by:

Love the product! Adjuster is great in eliminating travel wobble!



by:

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



by:

Good price and comes with many more options than the more expensive bike racks. The customers were very happy with their new rack assembly.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Heavy duty bike rack. Easy to set up.



by:

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.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2020 Ford Explorer Carrying Hollywood Racks Road Runner Bike Rack
    Based on your description I'm sure you have the Hollywood Racks Road Runner Bike Rack # HR520. Your bike rack fits a 2" hitch. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e29YR. This has a 2" receiver and a bolt on installation. It also has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 600 lbs to handle your bikes and bike rack. The etrailer hitch features a matte black powder coat finish for a rugged look and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • Weight Capacity of Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier HR520
    The Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520 tilts down for easier vehicle access when it is not loaded with bikes. It offers a total bike weight capacity of 150-lbs. In many cases the 5 loaded bikes themselves would prevent the rack from tilting all the way down as far as it can.

  • Difference Between Hollywood Racks Traveler and Road Runner
    There are a couple more differences in the Hollywood Racks Road Runner item # HR520 and the Hollywood Racks Traveler 5 Bike Carrier HR9200 than the included hitch pin and cable lock. The lower brace on the Road Runner provides anchor points for stabilization straps to run through. This keeps the wheels and tires from spinning while you're driving. The Traveler does not have this feature. The Road Runner has a 150 lbs capacity and the Traveler can carry five bikes up to 35 lbs a piece. The...

  • Recommended 5 Bike Rack for 2014 Honda Odyssey with 2 Inch Hitch Carrying 2 Adult and 3 Kids Bikes
    We can absolutely help you find exactly the bike rack they'll need to carry the whole family's bikes. In the event that they don't already have a hitch on their 2014 Honda Odyssey, one will be required to carry 5 bikes. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max Frame Class III Hitch # 76025 which has a 2" hitch receiver since it will mount behind the bumper and install mostly hidden on the vehicle; the only visible part of the hitch will be the receiver, which also means that there's not a visible...

  • Best Hitch Receiver for a 2022 VW Atlas

  • What Is The Best Hitch Bike Rack For Use On A Travel Trailer?
    Hello Roger. Our best option for a hitch bike rack for use on a travel trailer is the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR. This rack is built to withstand the additional stress created by being on the back of a travel trailer. It has a capacity of 70 lbs per bike, so it will work even with heavier e-bikes. Just keep in mind that when used on a trailer, there is a bolt that must be used in place of the folding pin. This is what helps the rack hold up so well on a travel trailer. The video...

  • Bike Rack to Fit 2020 Ford F-150 With Open Tailgate
    The Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520 which has a long enough shank to be able to completely open your tailgate. But if you'd like something that is a little easier to use, I recommend the Thule Camber 4 Bike Rack # TH9056. The tilting and folding features are activated with levers instead of pins plus this will also tilt away with enough clearance for your tailgate. I'm attaching a review video of these racks for you to check out.

  • Hitch Bike Rack with High Weight Capacity Suitable for Use on Motorhome
    Any accessory carrier such as a hitch bike rack or hitch cargo carrier that is to be used on an RV, either a motorhome, trailer or camper, has to be built with reinforcement to withstand the extra stresses found at the rear of such RVs. The extra stresses come about due to the typically greater distance between the rear axle and hitch tube on such vehicles, as compared to that distance on a passenger car. The greater the distance between the two, the more leverage and movement there will...

  • Is the Yakima HangOver 6 Bike Rack RV Approved?
    When using a bike rack on a Motor home we run into the issue of the distance being to great from the rear wheel to the receiver tube opening. Typically this is a lot further distance than that on a passenger vehicle and subjects the rack to a lot more "force" when going over different obstacles. Therefore the options for use on motor homes is limited. In your situation the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Tilting part # C18065 and the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier...

  • Why Is The Yakima HangTight Bike Rack Not Able To Be Used On a Motorhome?
    The Yakima HangOver Bike Rack for 6 Mountain Bikes # Y02485 was not designed to be used on motorhomes. Therefore it does not stand up to the same harsher, more rigorous forces which are exerted on a bike rack mounted behind a motorhome. I recommend using the Hollywood Racks Road Runner Bike Rack # HR520 which is able to carry 5 bikes behind your motorhome. If you have bikes with alternative style frames you will need the Adapter # HRBA-PRO

  • 5-Bike Rack Recommendation with Bike Locks and Hitch Locks
    For a 5-bike rack that has locks for the rack to the hitch as well as locks for the bikes to the rack we have the Hollywood Rack Road Runner 5 rack part # HR520 that covers all of those bases and is at a price that's not going to break the bank. This has a locking hitch pin to secure it to the hitch and then a cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

  • Comparison Of Hitch-Mounted 4-Bike Carriers
    Both the Thule and Yakima racks hold 4 bikes and have anti-sway cradles. The Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR folds and tilts, the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476 only folds. The Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR will work with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, The Yakima LongHaul will work with only 2" hitches. The Yakima # Y02476 comes with both a cable lock and an anti-sway hitch lock, the Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR does not come with locks. Finally, the Yakima is rated to be used with motorhomes,...

  • 5 Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying 3 Adult and 2 Kid Bikes on 2019 Honda Pilot
    For your 2019 Honda Pilot with a 2" hitch receiver, we have a few different 5-bike rack options available. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520 because it's going to offer the most stability and security for your bikes. The rack has a unique anti-sway bar at the bottom and anti-sway cradles at the top that stabilize your bikes better than any other rack on the list. It also features an easy to-access anti-rattle handle, tilting mast and already includes a...

  • Are Cradles Flexible on Hollywood Racks Road Runner Bike Rack
    The cradles on the Hollywood Racks Road Runner # HR520 are fairly stiff and don't have much, if any, give where they swoop up. The rubber straps are flexible though so they will fit just fine over the bike frame. An alternative solution that will fit with a wide variety of bike frame styles is the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000. This is a cost-effective option when it comes to platform racks but it is compatible with standard bikes and it uses cradles and straps...

    I have a solution for you, but the Yakima HangOver 6 Bike Rack for Mountain Bikes # Y02485 is specifically for mountain bikes that have suspension forks, and it does not look like your Trek Verve 2 has the necessary suspension forks. I would look into the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520 which is a 5 bike carrier that secures the bikes by the frame. On oddly-shaped bike frames like your Trek Verve 2 Women's bike you will want to use Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO; this will be...

  • Recommended Hitch for Carrying 5 Bike Rack on 2015 Honda Odyssey
    For a 5-bike rack, you'll want to use a 2 inch Class III trailer hitch like the # 75270 Draw-Tite you mentioned. Since you won't be pulling a trailer, you won't need a trailer wiring harness, just the hitch and a bike rack. The Hollywood Racks Road Runner # HR520 would work well on your Odyssey. Please be aware that getting 5 bikes on a rack can be a tight squeeze, you'll want to alternate the direction of each bike. I've linked you to a demonstration video for the Road Runner bike rack.

This rack comes with stabilization straps as well as a cable lock for the bikes and a locking pin for the hitch. Locks are keyed alike.

  • Compatibility of Thule Apex 5-Bike Rack # TH9026XT with Range Rover Sport
    The bike rack isn't a vehicle specific item, but I can explain how to figure out if it'll work for you. To determine if the Thule Apex # TH9026XT is compatible with your Range Rover Sport, you'll need to find how how far the receiver tube is recessed under the vehicle. You can easily do this by measuring the distance from the hitch pin hole in the receiver to the furthest rearward part of the bumper. If this distance is less than 7-1/4 inches, the bike rack will work just fine on your vehicle....

    For your application with the EcoHitch # 306-X7257 I recommend using the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 5 Bike Carrier # HR520. This isn't a platform rack and as such only weighs 37-1/2 lbs; the pin system on this is a standard locking pin which will be simple to install. Just make sure you install the pin prior to cranking down on the anti-rattle handle at the front. Attached below is a video review for you to check out.

An alternative solution is the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This is a 4-bike rack as opposed to 5-bike rack but it measures 13-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright on the rack. The only thing you'll need to measure is where the hitch pin hole is at in relation...
