Specs:
The Traveler bike rack lets you transport up to 5 bikes on the back of your vehicle without having to skimp on style or pay big bucks.
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
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 unscrew the hand knob on each arm, lower the arms into the brackets, and tighten the knobs down.
Anti-Sway 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
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.

The economically priced, yet stylish Traveler bike rack lets you carry 5 bikes on the back of your vehicle. Sturdy rack features anti-sway cradles that stabilize your bikes; dual, folding arms; an anti-wobble hitch pin; and a tilting mast.Last week we used the Hollywood rack for 4 bikes from Houston to Gatlinburg(designed for 5 but only needed 4 this trip). Everything went well. I did have a difficult time getting a couple of bikes on there, but that had more to do with the design of the bike and not the rack. From what I read about other higher priced racks people have the same issues. I took precautions and tied each bike to the rack with a piece of rope in case the straps were to give out, but nothing like that happened. Very satisfied.
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.
The customer service was outstanding from George J processing update to James G packaging update. We used our Hollywood rack all summer transporting 5 bikes. 3 adult and 2 small bikes. Overall great product. VERY pleased with the product and the service
This was easy to assemble and seems easy to use. I haven't had it long enough to see how it works on road trip.
Good product for the price. Is a little tight and have to get creative to fit different size and types of bikes but what else would you expect for a 5 bike rack??. Also it is lockable with the purchase of a small lock. No modifications needed as I have read otherwise.
Built to last. This one is replacing a 3-bike Hollywood rack that is 12 years old. It still works fine but I needed space for more bikes! I had one question during assembly - I called the toll-free number on the instructions and immediately talked to a very helpful person who answered my question. I highly recommend Hollywood racks and highly recommend etrailer.com.
Jake W - 05/31/2014We've only used it once but it is great! It fits all 5 of our bikes without issue and we're happy. We have an adult men's bike, adult women's bike, and three 24" kid/teen bikes. The women and kid bikes have to go through the bars slightly differently, but not a problem at all. We love it!
Just used our bike rack for a camping trip after storing it in the garage for the winter. We had not tried to fit 5 bikes on it before, but my son wanted to bring both his BMX trick bike and his mountain bike. All 5 bikes (2 adult, 3 kids) fit without any trouble, nice and secure. Highly recommended.
Solid design and materials. A bit of a challenge on more atypical frame shapes, including wider top tubes (e.g. Electra Cruiser, top tube is too wide for the cradle) or those with intersecting frame components that make for narrower frame openings (i.e. difficulty in getting over the cradles). Also note that the cradles do not move and the 5th pair of cradles are positioned close (same as other brands?) to the vehicle, between the vertical tube and the vehicle.
Alice - 05/25/2016Thanks for the quick shipment/deliver of this bike rack for my SUV! The directions were easy to follow and this appears to be a solid-well built bike rack. I can't wait to use it on our next vacation!
Product was exactly as described. Overall works pretty well although 5 bikes are a bit crowded and the rubber straps used to secure the bikes take some effort to secure
Ron - 10/17/2017Easy 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.
Everything as is
Product worked great on a trip to Chincoteauge and back. About 450 mi. There are more deluxe bike racks available but they also have deluxe pricing that goes with them. I was very satisfied with the functionality of this rack. It seemed plenty strong to support the 5 adult bikes that I carried.
Very robust. May struggle with full suspension mountain bikes due to frame design.
Great product. .great service .. quick delivery easy installation.. etrailer.com 5 star company. .
Great product, just used it on a 1100 mile roundtrip without any issues - only carried 3 bikes this time. Easy to setup and use.
Nice solid product. Delivered on time as they stated. Working with the reps was great!
Order was easy and it shipped quickly. Very easy to assemble and appears to be good quality. Using this weekend but anticipate any issues
