Traveler 4 Hitch Bike Rack

The Traveler bike rack lets you transport up to four bikes on the back of your vehicle without having to skimp on style or pay big bucks.


This versatile bike carrier slides into your vehicle's 1-1/4" or 2" trailer hitch. Leave on the included adapter sleeve to fit the shank into a 2" receiver, or remove the sleeve to slide the shank into a Class II, 1-1/4" receiver. An anti-wobble hitch pin reduces the movement of the rack in the hitch receiver. And you can tighten the thumbscrew on the back of the upright mast to help keep the mast from wobbling.


Dual Arms

Traveler Arms

Constructed of rugged steel with a sleek black powder coat finish, the Traveler features dual arms that 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.


Anti-Sway Cradles

Traveler Cradles

Rubber anti-sway cradles with straps firmly grip your bike's frame at three points to keep it from swaying front to back. This helps to keep your bikes from hitting each other and your vehicle during transit. 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

Traveler Tilted

The Traveler's upright mast tilts forward to allow access to your vehicle's cargo area. Once your bikes are unloaded, just remove the linchpin 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.

I didn't like the pin design. Otherwise it's a good product.

Great product, just used it on a 1100 mile roundtrip without any issues - only carried 3 bikes this time. Easy to setup and use.

Very robust. May struggle with full suspension mountain bikes due to frame design.

Easy to put together and put on vehicle. Bikes went on great and attached nicely. Didn’t seem to move around much while on the road. Looking forward to many more bike trips.



by:

Just installed this Rack and it looks very good and easy to pull down and up to open the back door. It would be good if the instruction comes with more images along with the description, it was a little difficult to figure it out since I am new to this type of equipment, but made it.

  • How Much Do the Yakima RidgeBack 4 and RidgeBack 2 Bike Racks Weigh
    Some racks can be quite heavy! The 4 bike Yakima racks vary depending on the model. The BigHorn weighs about 30 pounds. The SwingDaddy weighs about 54 pounds. The RidgeBack 4 weighs 45 pounds. The FlipSide 4 weighs 35 pounds. Our lightest 2 bike rack is the Thule Helium, # TH9042PRO. It has a weight of only 19 pounds but still has a capacity of 70 pounds. This rack fits in 1-1/4 inch receivers. Our lightest 4 bike carrier is the Hollywood Racks "Traveler" # HR8500. It weighs in at...

  • Comparison Between The Swagman S64675 & Hollywood Racks HR8500 Bike Rack
    I've used the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 # HR8500 before and I like it better than the Swagman # S64665 just because there is more distance between the cradles. It's only a 1/2" difference but a little goes a long way. You can get this locking kit # HRLHPTC to lock everything into place.

  • Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Toyota Sienna
    When it comes to a trailer hitch for your 2009 Toyota Sienna I recommend the etrailer Hitch # e98837 because it has a matte black finish that does a better job at hiding scratches and dings from road debris than the classic glossy black finishes. All of the hitches are about the same when it comes to price. When it comes to bike racks there are a huge variety of options on the market and the varying costs really boils down to who the manufacturer is and what kind of features are on the...

  • Trailer Hitch to Carry 4 Bikes With 2014 Toyota Prius v
    Ok, we can definitely get you set up to carry four bikes with your 2014 Toyota Prius v, and you are correct that in order to do that you will need a trailer hitch receiver and a hitch-mounted bike rack. First off, let's start with the hitch, and the one you will need is from EcoHitch: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7192 The reason you will need this hitch is because it is the only hitch for your Prius v that has a 2 inch receiver; the other hitches for your Prius v are...

  • Comparison of Hollywood Racks and Curt Hanging 4-Bike Hitch Mounted Bike Racks
    The Hollywood Racks # HR8500 and the Curt # C18030 have a number of similarities. They're both 4-bike hanging racks that will carry up to 35 pound bikes. They both also have the option to fit into a 1-1/4 inch Class II hitch receiver. The arms on the Hollywood Racks are 2 inches closer together which can make it easier to load and unload bikes onto it. On both racks I took a measurement from the underside of the tube that inserts into the hitch receiver to the level where the bikes...

  • Lock for Hollywood Racks Traveler Bike Rack
    The Hollywood Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock # HRLHPTC is a better option. It is intended to be used with a threaded pin and it comes with a cable lock to keep your bikes locked to your Hollywood Racks Traveler # HR8500. The Hollywood Racks Hitch Lock for 2" Hitches # HRLHP2 has the same style lock core but the pin wouldn't work. Adding the cable lock to keep your bikes secure is a nice touch to the # HRLHPTC kit.

  • Can 2 Bike Add-On Be Used With T2 Pro X for 1-1/4 Hitches?
    The reason the 2 Bike Add-On # TH55GC is recommended only for the T2 Pro X for 2" Hitches # TH83GC is because of the differences between Class I, II, and III hitches. Class I 1-1/4" hitches can only hold up to 2 bikes. Not so much because of the weight capacity but more because of the angle and leverage issues of more than two bikes. The add-on is designed for the 2" version # TH83GC and not the 1-1/4" version # TH23GC to prevent people from accidentally loading their Class I hitch with...

  • Trailer Hitch for Hollywood Racks Bike Carrier on a 2006 Cadillac SRX
    First, hitch extender # HE06 is not a hitch, just an extension. It would fit in a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver if your 2006 Cadillac SRX already had one. It is designed to provide an additional 7 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole. For a 2 inch trailer hitch for your SRX the most popular option is # C13050. I have linked a video showing how it installs. With the hitch installed the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole back to clear the rear bumper will...

  • Recommended Hanging 4 Bike Rack That Tilts For Trunk Access On 2017 Ford Edge
    The Yakima DoubleDown Ace 4 bike rack is not currently available, but I do have a similar product that will suit your needs. I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier # HR8500. This bike rack fits 4 bikes and has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. There is a built-in tilting mechanism that allows the rack to tilt back away from the vehicle, giving access to the trunk on your 2017 Ford Edge. The # HR8500 will fit both 1-1/4" and 2" receivers. You can add an anti-rattle...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation and Hollywood Racks Traveler Fitment on a 2019 Lexus RX 350
    The Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 # HR8500 will definitely fit on your 2019 Lexus RX 350 and for a trailer hitch I recommend the calss III etrailer hitch # e94AR which is a confirmed fit. Attached are review videos for the bike rack for you to check out. A few additional things I do recommend picking up are the lock kit # HRLHPTC for the bike rack and an adapter bar like part # HRBA-PRO to use if any of your bikes are a kid's bike or lacks a horizontal top tube.

  • Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for Hollywood Racks # HR8500
    Good news, I do have a great replacement hitch pin for the Hollywood Traveler Rack # HR8500. Hollywood Rack offers an anti-rattle and cable lock combo # HRLHPTC. This will allow you to lock your rack to the vehicle and your bikes to the rack for added security. Plus both locks are keyed alike for easy removal.

  • Why Cant the Folding Version of the Swagman Trailhead be Used at the Back of an RV
    Yes, the folding feature is the difference that allows the non-folding version of the Trailhead, # S63381, to work with RVs and the folding version, # S63380, to be excluded. The folding feature creates a point of movement and a point of potential failure. There is a bike rack that folds and that is rated for use at the back of an RV; the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # HR8500. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you. The...

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on an RV or Travel Trailer
    There are only certain bike racks that are rated for use at the back of an RV or trailer. But the Hollywood Racks # HR8500 is not one of them. I have included a link to the 4-bike models that you can use. Out of the options I recommend the Swagman XP, # S64940. This is a 4-bike rack, it does not fold or tilt (this is one reason why the Hollywood Racks carrier will not work), but it does have anti-sway cradles. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. If you will be carrying...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Mounted Bike Rack For Subaru Forester with OEM Hitch
    For your 2017 Subaru Forester with factory hitch receiver, you will want to use a bike rack rated for 1-1/4 inch hitches. For a hitch mounted rack for your 3 bikes, you will be limited to a hanging style bike rack. My recommendation for you is the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # HR8500 which will allow you to have the anti-sway and folding feature for storage. This also gives you a tilting option when not carrying bikes to give you cargo...

  • Comparing Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack and Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 For Motorhome
    The Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack part # C18087 is what I recommend as it works with all different types of bike frames without any adapter needed and can carry much heavier bikes. The Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier part # HR8500 is an okay choice but it would indeed require any adapter for women's or children's bikes and it has a 35 lbs weight capacity which most likely won't work for a beach cruiser.

  • Tilting Bike Rack Recommendation For 2017 Chevrolet Bolt
    Yes, we carry a bike rack that will meet your needs. From my research on your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt's overall towing capacity even without the hitch, it appears the lighter the weight you're pulling, the better off you will be. My best recommendation is to go with a lighter weight rack like the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 # HR8500 which only weighs 29.5 lbs unloaded. It has the capacity of carrying four bikes and tilts down so you can access the trunk of your Bolt.

  • Replacement Straps for Old Hollywood Racks Traveler HR800 Bike Rack
    Thanks for the photos! What you have there is the old model Hollywood Racks Traveler HR800 bike rack which was made in the USA between 1980 and 1993. This is the predecessor to the current Traveler 4 Bike Carrier # HR8500 and you will install your bikes in a similar manner - by placing each bike in the cradle locations and then using the straps to secure your bikes to the bike rack. I'm attaching a review video of the current Traveler so you can see what I'm talking about with the cradles. There...

  • Will An Eco Hitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Carry 4 Bikes On A 2017 Chevy Bolt EV
    The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 will fit your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV and provides a 2" receiver that accommodates a 4-bike carrier. That said a significant limiting factor here is that from our research your vehicle tow capacity looks to be 100 lbs tongue weight and 1,000 lbs total trailer weight on your vehicle. Should you still decide to pursue this route, a bike rack like the Swagman Quad 2+2 2-Bike and 4-Bike Platform Rack # S64FR is 86 lbs and would not leave...

This includes the anti-rattle locking hitch pin that will minimize the amount of bouncing and swaying the bike rack does inside your hitch as well as providing additional security by locking the rack to your vehicle. It also includes an 8-Foot cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack.

    The Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier # HR8500 that you referenced weighs just under 30 lbs and can handle up to 4 bikes weighing in at 35 lbs each. This bike rack is a great entry-level bike rack that is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" trailer hitch receivers. It does lack locks though so if you'd like to add some security to your bike rack and bikes then the lock set # HRLHPTC is available to lock your bikes to the rack and the rack to your hitch receiver.
