We like it, it does the job. There is definitely some cons though: It is a challenge to get the peg lined up on the bottom when you are attaching the bike rack to the hitch. We have to lay on the ground. It is a two man job. It has to be very precise and it can be very frustrating. It has also been a challenge to get 4 bikes on the bars. The issue falls mostly with the kids bikes the bars are to small to put the bars between them, so then you have to find other ways to secure them safely. We take it on and off when we are done with it, since we don't use it regularly. It is a time consuming job to get the rack on and get the bikes on it. I wouldn't do it every day.

I haven't officially used this product, however I have put it on my van and here is my first impression. Overall the product is strong. The only 3 things that I can see is a problem. If you have kids with training wheels, this product wouldn't work. Bikes are to close together for training wheels. If your adult bike has a little curve or the cross bar is large, you will have a little trouble putting it on. The next thing is the bolt that allows you to access the rear hatch is a pain. How they have it set up, you need a wrench to take the bolt out just to get into the rear hatch.

I'm still totally happy with this rack after a year. It is so nice to be able to open the back hatch (Honday Odyssey) without removing everything.

Solid trailer, not too difficult to put together. After putting it together I took a 100 mile trip with four bikes and it worked great. Two tips from others helped. I installed in "on the car" (and was able to do it by myself) and I took some time to put the bikes in the order we would always load it (with our current four bikes), essentially "setting" the wheel holders to the exact bike. Great product and great price.

Great quality, awesome price I ordered this on etrailer Feb 1st, got the delivery on Feb 8th. Perfect packing. The product was very easy to assemble. There were finally 4 small screws that I was not clear what to do with. Called etrailer and they clearly told me where the screws go. The rack is built strong, really good quality. I was actually surprised to see such great quality at less than half the price of a Thule or Yakima. Overall the product is easy to use. Yes it has some quirks like when you fold the center rachet arm, the cotter pin to hold it in place is sometimes hard to push in. Not a big deal but something that swagman can improve on. Also one other key point is the total dimension of this rack. I have a Honda Odyssey and with 4 bikes mounted on the rack, it takes about 3-3.5 feet of space at the back (juts out). A thule T2 or Yakima hold up for 4 bikes will be close to 5.6-6 feet. The swagman has a great advantage in reducing vehicle sway and drag. As with anything this comes with a drawback that you need to play around and figure out the best positions for the bikes. Again not a big deal, one time job of 10 mins. Overall I am very happy with the bike rack and even more happy with etrailer. I will be coming to etrailer for all my future rack, hitch needs.

The Yakima rack is great. Very solid and easy to use. It takes me a few minutes to mount it. 5 bikes ride just fine.

I have been using this hitch daily for about 3 weeks. Installation was straight-forward and I had no problems getting it on my 2015 Honda Odyssey. The unit is solid and the amount of sway is minimal. In addition to the rack, I also purchased the Locking Anti-Rattle Threaded hitch pin (S64029). It works fine as well. I did not order the cable that goes with it because of some other reviews I read, but I think I will be ordering the cable shortly. My wife's bike required the use of an Alternate Frame Bike adapter (64005), which I also purchased and it works well. My only suggestion is put additional protective wrap around the frame where the bike is secured on top. I went to the local hardware store and purchased a length of pipe insulation, and then cut it to size. It adds additional protection to reduce scratches and wear on the frame. This was an idea presented in other reviews. I researched a number of other racks, including Thule, and I think this is the best rack for the money. I would recommend this rack to anyone.
We have been using this rack about one year and have had no issues. The rack holds the bikes securely with very little sway, We have stopped using the Alternate Frame Bike Adapter without any problems. We have since ordered a second rack for use on my wifes car. etrailer.com was very easy to work with. I will continue to recommend this rack and etrailer.com to anyone that asks.

This rack it nice and decently made. Really easy to use as long as you use the same bikes in same positions every time. The one thing I was surprised at was very few reviewers if any mentioned that the three bolts that serve to allow the 3 arms to pivot are just simple carriage bolts with regular nuts on the end. All I needed was an adjustable wrench and I the middle arm off in a few seconds. That would mean your bikes are gone even it you use padlocks in the ratchet arms. Seems kind of stupid to use a padlock and key when all a thief really needs is and adjustable wrench. I guess I will take a chisel and damage the extend portion of the bolt threads to make this a little harder from someone to undo the nuts. It really is a weak spot that should be addressed. I am actually thinking a decent cable lock running through the bikes, rack and secured to the car hitch might be more secure than a locking hitch bolt and 2 padlocks for the ratchets. Or perhaps a combination of all the above. As expected Etrailer's service and shipping were excellent.

Seems like a great product based on the specs and the positive reviews definitely swayed me. But, my experience was only 3 stars. Here's what I found. I have a 2" hitch provided and installed by U-Haul on our 2007 Odyssey, so no flimsy 1" adapter. This thing still moves around a great deal. No failures, but just be prepared when you first mount bikes, go over bumps, etc. LOTS of surface rust after just a year of use where the connecting rod fits into the hitch; took 30+ minutes to work it free last time I took it off the car. We tend to leave it on because we use it often and it is heavy and beastly to put on. Consider some sort of release agent before installation or removal. Operation was fairly straight forward once I got the hang of it. However, over time, certain functions started to fail or become difficult. The key lock is a bit tricky to engage even out of the box, but became very difficult to turn the longer it has been in use. After 10 years, OK. After 1 year, not so much. The locking pin on the arm also started to come out of alignment with the hole in the arm (not much, but enough, has me wondering about the years to come) and required quite a bit of additional manipulation to get it to engage. But, my largest criticism is bike management. We have two adult comfort / mtn bikes, one kid bike and a tag-along. We bought two of the cross bar attacher thingies. No dice. My own men's bike was easy to get on and always went on first per instructions. Next was my wife's, a Trek with a pretty standard triangular frame. TIGHT, TIGHT fit to get that thing on and not the ideal placement to make it work. Our oldest son's bike, another Trek, wouldn't go; could only get one arm through. The cross bar adapter was NO help. What a waste of money, those. Can't use them on anything. They are very limited in their range of use. To get it on, I had to have the bike cocked at about 60 degrees. The crazy fit of bikes #2 and #3 eliminated any chance of getting that tag-along on it even though it is much smaller than a bike. Into the trunk it went, defeating the whole point of a 4-bike carrier. The detachable tie-downs seem like a great idea, but they sure are easy to drop when wrestling a bike, or lose OR STEAL. Where are you going to put them, or the extras, when not in use? Something else to figure out and deal with. The sliding lock downs? Again, another seeming good idea, but after a year, they become very difficult to slide back and forth. I have really had to wrench on them in certain cases to get them to move at all. Can't be good long term and very aggravating since it is supposed to be a slick feature. Why not just leave them in place once you figure out the best spot? Well, there's the principle of it, but there is also this thing called my kids' friends! Yeah, play dates or whatever. Requires a total rework. Not fun. Two adult bikes was very workable even if you couldn't move lock downs...just used the next ones over. And the swing out feature was, in general, very useful. Maybe it's an impossible task, a great 4-bike rack, I dunno. Maybe it's me. But, maybe it's the rack. If you can, try YOUR bikes before buying. Maybe a friend has one already? Maybe it requires some kind of care and feeding not mentioned anywhere. I wouldn't say don't buy it, but just be aware of what you're getting into. Talk to owners of this and other types and brands to see what their use issues might be.

This is an excellent rack. The hinge and locking mechanisms work very well under heavy loads, allowing the opening of the car's rear door without having to unload or even adjust the bikes on the rack.

Received the unit and installed it on the 2014 Honda Odyssey, no issues with the the install. Test fitted bike's (3) and drove around the neighborhood, so far it seems to be good. Will advise and update the rating on the first trip. NOTE ** it did take 2 months to get this unit, etrailer did keep me updated with the status. I understand with parts issues as bike parts are hard to find and also on backorder.

WOW WOW WOW That is what I just kept saying after installing this Saris bike rack. I have been looking for a bike rack for almost 3-4 months now. Thule and Yakima didn't have what I was looking for. Their solution for a 4-5 bike rack is too complicated, not efficient, and it would be a nightmare to manage on a regular basis. So I couldn't get myself to pull a trigger on any of those and I kept searching. Finally, I came to eTrailer and found out about Saris. That is where the love starts :) We are a family of 5 (3 kids and 2 grown-ups). I needed something that will help me load bikes fast, unload them and still be able to have access to the back of my Toyota Sequoia. Saris delivered in every way. Assemble of the item is straight forward. Instructions are clear and to the point. They even give you a yellow strip that helps you mark where the hitch needs to be in order to align hole openings for easier installation after you install it the first time ;) The back-up camera is still usable but not 100%. Tilting down the rack with the bikes on it is simple as 1-2-3. There is plenty of room left between the trunk door and the bike as you can see on the pictures. One HUGE benefit is that you do not need any extra parts for kids bikes. Not like with other brands. Saris delivers tremendously on this part too. No shaking, rattling, or anything that would make you notice that you have this amazing product on the back of your SUV/truck. I can't recommend it more. I am just surprised that this product has not been more advertised and represented compared to other products.
After a year this product is going strong. I have made my life easier by always putting same bikes in the same position heavier adult bikes closer to the car, and lighter kid bikes on the opposite side. This way I dont have to every adjust straps again. It makes everything so much easier. Just do yourself a favor and buy this product. You wont be sorry not for a little bit!

I ordered etrailer hitch and Curt bike rack for our 2015 Honda Odyssey. Happy to write that the install went as smooth as shown in the self install videos. Bike rack is sturdy enough to do pullups .... I waited long and hauled bikes inside the van for few years and this purchase was best for long distance recreational outing. If you know how to use a screw driver, you can do the install... You could also get the feel like a mechanic crawling under the van..

So, one year in, this works well for the price. I have successfully hauled around 5 bikes a couple times now including a couple vacations. Bikes got there securely despite 4+ hours of driving at interstate speeds, including one harrowing stretch on bumpy roads with 70 mph speed limits (wow Texas, seriously?) where the car got significant amounts of "air" at random intervals. Getting the bikes on and off is still a major pain. I had to buy the adapter for 3 womens/children's bikes. My own full size mountain bike barely fits on, too, the pitch between the bars seems a bit challenging and requires me to contort the bike dramatically to get it on and off. If you are trying to actually get 5 bikes on here, figuring out the bike handle tetris game is not easy. Will take you a bit. It still takes me ~15 min to load 5 bikes up every time. On short trips I sometimes skip the tiedown through all the bike wheels and it's fine, although I wouldn't do it for long trips. My biggest regret here is not buying one where the rack will pivot out to allow access to the rear minivan hitch with the bikes attached -- this means this is the last thing to pack in the car and the first thing you unpack, every time on vacation. It requires planning and forethought. The rack does fold down nicely which we used extensively on vacation once the bikes were unpacked, just don't drive around that way. On my Honda minivan the bottom of this sags a bit when fully loaded with bikes, to the extent I scrape hard every time exiting my slightly inclined driveway. We found a few other low spots along our way, from restaurants to other businesses, that resulted in similar cringe-inducing moments. We drove it on the beach quite a bit, after a healthy wash with the pressure washer there is some mild rusting where the handles rotate, but the rack is otherwise in good shape.
Thank you for your review! I wanted to share the links to swing-away hitches and the bike adapter bars. These links take you to our ion of products, and hopefully you can find on e that is right for you.

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda Odyssey
Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we'll be taking a look at the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 two by platform rack here on our 2022 Honda Odyssey. So the Kuat Sherpa is great in terms of being compact, lightweight, but also having all the features you would expect from a Kuat bike rack. Remember, you have the option for different colors with this as well as different shank sizes. So whether you have the inch and a quarter hitch receiver or the two inch hitch receiver, whether you want gray, black, or pearl, you can get those different color options for your vehicle.
Curt Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda Odyssey
What's up everybody, it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out the CURT Premium 4-Bike Bike Rack on our 2022 Honda Odyssey. This is gonna be a hang-style bike rack that can handle up to four bikes so you can see they can sit just like that all along here. Now, this one's kind of unique because it's got tapered ends here. So not only is it gonna help with loading and unloading it's gonna help with kids bikes 'cause sometimes when it's spaced out like this on hang-style bike racks you have to get a bike adapter bar to make it work. So this is more in, so you won't have to get that.
Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Honda Odyssey
Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby. And today we're taking a look at the Yakima BackRoad Four Bike Rack carrier here on our 2021 Honda Odyssey. Now, right of the gate think the back road does a great job of getting a host of bikes up to the trailhead with you. And you are getting a nice little distance in set between others. So if you're looking away of maybe having a little less contact on your hanging style, definitely recommend this guy as you are getting a nice distance between each bike and some pretty good sway control as well.
Yakima HoldUp Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Honda Odyssey

You're getting those nice copper orange accents on the gunmetal gray, but it doesn't stop there. It is gonna be yes, looking good, but also doing a great job of holding your bikes up on here. With a 40 pound capacity per bike, we're gonna have no trouble at all, getting most of our standards to mountain bikes up on this guy.

Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com, I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0, here on our 2021 Honda Odyssey. Now, this guy is definitely gonna be one of your more premium bike rack carriers, right out of the gate, I think it starts speaking for itself, of course, to its own style. You're gonna get a nice gunmetal gray with some nice copper orange accents on here, and it is a pretty minimalistic design. The platform itself, not too much going on it, just a couple of straps to actually hold onto our back tires. Of course, gonna stay nice and sleek on the rear of our vehicle. Now, if you are worried about accessories as well, this does come in a host of different colors.
Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Honda Odyssey
Brad Hello, the neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the Swagman XC2 two bike platform, style bike rack on a 2021 Honda Odyssey. Honda Odyssey is gonna be a great option for anyone wanting to haul around their family. But just because you have your family in the vehicle, sometimes doesn't mean that you don't like to get out and ride or take your two kids' bikes to the park so they can ride. And that's where this is a great option for you.
Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Honda Odyssey
Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby and today we're taking a look, the Kuat NV 2.0, here in the back of our 2020 Honda Odyssey. Now a lot of times, you know, in the Odyssey, you're gonna have a lot more people in it. So keep in mind, right out of the gate, you actually can get an extension for this bad boy, bringing yourself to a four-bike rack carrier. So if you're liking the style, liking the look, this can be a great little pickup, even if you have a lot of people in the family. Now keep in mind it is gonna be awesome and premium of course, that is what you're looking at for that price margin.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda Odyssey
Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2019 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Pro 2 Hitch Mount and Bike Rack. So the rack that we have here today can hold up to a total of two bikes. But if you're looking to carry an additional one, there's a three bike version available as well. Now what really separates this one is it's made from aluminum so it's going to be really lightweight. So say for example, you need to take it out, say throw in a cargo carrier.

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda Odyssey
Zack: Hey, everybody, Zack 00:00:01 here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman E-SPEC on our 2019 Honda Odyssey. This is going to be a really versatile bike rack if you are looking to carry a lot of different style bikes, especially heavy electric bikes, because it has a weight capacity of 70 pounds.But this one has been really well constructed and it's going to work in a lot of different areas of hooking up to different hitches, whether you have it in your Honda Odyssey, but it also works if you have a fifth wheel or a camper, or even in flat-tow setup. So that's really nice if you use it on your Odyssey throughout the week, but you want to take it on your camping trip with a camper, but let's take a closer look at how this is all held in place.So, as I mentioned, it works well with electric bikes, like we have here today. Now, one thing with carrying electric bikes, a tip is to take the battery off. So you're going to save some weight there, but also you're going to take some of the stress of going down the road on that battery, so just store that inside.
Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda Odyssey
Hey everybody, Zach here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman Quad 2+2 on our 2019 Honda Odyssey.

But the nice thing about this is it's versatile, so let's say you don't always take the kids with you. You're not always taking friends with you. You can cut this down to just a two bike.
Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda Odyssey
Zach: Hey everybody, Zach here at etrailer.com.Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima BackRoad on our 2019 Honda Odyssey. This is going to be a really nice hanging style bike rack. My favorite part about it is how it spaces all the bikes out. A common issue with hanging style bike racks is they tend to sit a little closer together, they start coming into contact with one another. This does a really good job of spacing them out. So we have seven inches between each cradle here.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda Odyssey
Hi, I'm Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be looking at the Thule Camber Hanging Style bike rack on our 2019 Honda Odyssey. This bike rack is going to have about three tie downs. There's going to be two on the top, and one anti-sway cradle on the bottom. As you can see, we have a very, very nice rubber textured finish to these hangers right here. Basically, these little grooves right here are going to be for your cables, to make sure you don't damage anything when you load your bike.Let's just go ahead and take this bike rack off.

Dustin: Hey everybody, it's Dustin here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2018 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman XTC platform style two bike rack. It's also available in a tilting version. The XTC2 is a platform style rack that holds our bike with three points of contact. We have a hook that puts downward pressure on our top tube, and that puts our tires pressure into the cradles here. And then the cradles, you'll notice we have a rubberized straps that help secure our wheels in place.

Ryan: Hey, everybody. Ryan here at etrailer. Today, on our 2018 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Platform-Style Bike Rack.

This one does fall down out of the way and allows us to do that, even while we have our bike still on it. Right underneath here, there's just a simple lever.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Honda Odyssey

This one does fold down out of the way and allows us to do that.Come here to this lever, pull up on it. It'll swing down and that's going to give us quite a bit of room to get anything we might need in and out of the back of our Odyssey, whether it's gear, coolers, groceries, whatever it might be.

Inno Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda Odyssey
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be test fitting the Inno Aero Light 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. That's going to be part number: INH640.As you can see, we already have a bike installed, so let's take a look at some of the features.Now, starting from the outside and working our way in, we have this integrative cable locking system. You simply pull it up from the mast of the bike rack, and then whatever bikes you have installed, you just wrap them around and simply insert it into that latch right there.Your bike rack will come with a set of keys, so when you want to remove that cable lock, you simply slide this little tab up, like that, you have the insert for your key to unlock it and unload your bikes.These cradles are adjustable side to side, and back and forth. That's going to help out and accommodate for any type of size frame you might have, or some specific spacing you might want between your bikes.These cradles also have a thick rubber coated surface right here, and that's going to help protect it from any scratches or abrasions during travel.Come here to our bike, and we see it's attached at three different points of contact. On these two cradles right here, we have a strap on the front and a strap on the back. Down here, we have this anti-rattle cradle, with a strap through it.Now what that does, is once that's strapped in, that's going to prevent the bike from swaying at all during travel and prevent it from making contact with other bikes or with the vehicle.If we come up front, we see we have this strap that's connecting the front wheel to the frame of the bike.
Curt Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda Odyssey
Today in our 2016 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be test fitting the Curt two bike platform rack for fat bikes for inch and a quarter and 2" hitches, part number C18085-FB. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look and show off some of the features. One of the more prominent features about this bike rack is the fact that it can carry up to two fat bikes on it as well as tilt away from the vehicle with both bikes still attached. Now while we have a fat bike on it now, this will also work with road bikes, mountain bikes, and some alternate frame bikes as well. To tilt this away, we'll come to the base here. You're going to see two pins.

Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features.

You can see we have two pins, a smaller one here, and a larger one.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda Odyssey
Today on our 2016 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule T2 Pro XTB Two-Bike Platform Rack, part number TH9034XT. Now, one of the really nice things about this bike rack is, is that we don't have to remove our bike to get into our back hatch. If you come down here, grab this lever, the bike rack will tilt down. Then from either side of the vehicle, we still have access to get anything in or out that we may need. To put the back back into position, simply come back, lift up on the lever, and you'll hear it lock into place. Now, there's no frame contact on the bike the way it's mounted. You have a wheel hook up here in the front, and you have a strap, a ratcheting strap, back here.
Honda Odyssey Bike Rack Questions
- Yes, the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # HRF2-3, will fit your 2022 Honda Odyssey. You will not be able to use your rear wiper when this rack is on your vehicle.
I have included a video review of this rack below.
view full answer... - One of the major differences between the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting, part # INH120, has a maximum bike weight limit of 60 lbs and a maximum weight limit on the rack of120 lbs. The Thule Helium Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # TH44VR, has a maximum bike weight limit of 37.5 lbs and a maximum weight on the rack of 75 lbs. The Helium is not e-bike friendly, while the Tire Hold 2 will be able to carry some...
view full answer... - I can understand the concern and you're correct that the 2021 Honda Odyssey doesn't have the best ground clearance, but it's not going to keep you from carrying a bike rack on your trailer hitch. I've seen a lot of our neighbors that have carried bike racks on the hitch they've installed on their Odyssey without experiencing any major problems.
A hitch like the etrailer Trailer 2" Hitch Receiver # e98855 has 14" of clearance from the top of the receiver opening to the ground;...
view full answer... - Both Class II and III hitches are available for the 2020 Odyssey. Because there's a much better selection of hitch mounted accessories for the more common Class III hitches, that's what I'll typically recommend.
Of the Class III hitches, the primary difference between them is how concealed the hitch itself is once it's installed. The etrailer.com brand Class III hitch, part # e98855 would be completely visible under the rear bumper when installed. The same would hold true for...
view full answer... - The Thule # TH9027XT Apex Swing and the Draw-Tite Class III # 76170 hitch will work perfectly with your 2020 Honda Odyssey.
When the distance the hitch receiver is recessed under the vehicle is compared to the necessary clearance between the bumper and the nearest upright portion of the bike rack are compared, I found that there's plenty of room to spare.
I've linked you to an installation video for the hitch and a demonstration video for the Thule Apex Swing bike rack.
view full answer... - If you're wanting to have the option to carry 4 bike OR 2 bikes with the cargo carrier you need this Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HR1400Z-85 and if you're only wanting to carry 2 bikes with the cargo carrier you need this carrier # HR1450Z-85. The rack you were looking at # HLY84FR is not made to have the cargo carrier attachment. Make sure that you have a Class III Hitch # 76170 on your 2020 Honda Odyssey. If not, I've included a video to show you how to install it!
view full answer... - Since your Himiway Cruiser has fenders you'd need to go with a bike rack that grabs the bike by the frame instead and not by the wheel as the fender would get in the way.
You'd want to go with an e-bike rack with fat tire wheel hoops like the Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR which can fit up to 5 inch wide tires, has the weight capacity needed, and uses a frame clamp setup.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Yes, the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches part # S64650 will carry an adult and kids bike at the same time because of it's adjustable hooks and wheel hoops. If your child's bike wheel is 20" in diameter or larger the Swagman XC will work fine while carrying both bikes.
If you are trying to carry a child's bike with a small wheel diameter I recommend Hollywood Racks Sport Rider 2 Bike Platform Rack part # HR1000Z which is very similar in...
view full answer... - Yes, the RockyMounts West Slope 3 # RKY10223 is a great fit for your 2019 Honda Odyssey. The West Slope 3 does have the tilting feature, so it will fold up when not in use but also will tilt away so you can access your rear hatch. I suggest getting a lock for the rack and for the bikes you plan on hauling. There is one made specifically for the WestSlope # RKY10224.
I've included video to show you the features of the WestSlope 3!
view full answer... - For your 2019 Honda Odyssey, I recommend using the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT. The Thule Apex has a threaded hitch pin lock to secure the bike rack to the vehicle and a cable that extends out to secure the bikes to the rack. If you take a look at the seven minute mark in the attached review video you will be able to see the cable lock being used.
In addition to the locks, the Thule Apex has a tilting feature that will allow you to tilt the bike rack away from...
view full answer... - The trunk mounted bike rack I highly recommend checking out for your 2019 Honda Odyssey is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top because it uses cradles that are effective in eliminating bike sway, which keeps your bikes safe from damaging each other or your '19 Odyssey.
The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top, which is available as a 2-bike rack # HRF2 and 3-bike rack # HRF2-3 has a high frame which is what allows it to fit vehicles like your '19 Odyssey while protecting its paint from...
view full answer... - Yes, the BMX bike with 16" wheels will fit on the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT. However, you will need an adapter bar. As you alluded to, the bike adapter bars are all different lengths. The SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 can go as short as 15-1/4". Therefore, you will need to have this much room between your seat post and handlebar fork post in order for this to work. The shortest bike adapter bar we offer is the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar part...

There isn't an exact measurement of overhang for the UpRide, part # TH599000, since a lot depends on your particular setup. However, they stated that it should be around 12" give or take. As such, there isn't an exact measurement of behind the bar either.
If you are still concerned over this or if that is too long, I highly recommend going with a fork-mount bike rack like the Yakima ForkChop, part # Y02117. There is no overhang...
view full answer... - The best rack to carry your 24-inch Trek Precaliber, a 20-inch Trek Precaliber, and an occasional townie is the RockyMounts WestSlope 3 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Wheel Mount # RKY10223. Since the WestSlope 3 uses wheel mounts, you will not need any bike frame adapters for similar racks that attach to the bike frames of your alternate-style bikes. The WestSlope 3 has a per-bike weight capacity of 40 pounds, which is plenty of capacity for your Treks and townie. Moreover,...
view full answer... - For just a hitch lock, I'd recommend Swagman's # S64029 anti-rattle lock. The locking pin threads into the shank of the bike rack keeping the bike rack from moving around in the hitch. Swagman also offers the lock in conjunction with a cable lock that will also secure the bikes to the rack as the lock secures the rack to the vehicle. The lock/cable combo is part # S64031. Either of these options would work great with your Swagman # S64650 XC bike rack.

view full answer... - The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HR4000 will work for your Electra 7D Townie bike as long as it weighs less than 35lbs, has wheel base of 48" or less, and has no wider than 3" tires. My research tells me your bike weighs 33lbs and has 2" wide tires so it should work, but you will want to confirm.
view full answer... - To add locks to the Hollywood Racks # HR4000 that you referenced what you need is the part # HRLHPTC and you'd be set. This is a cable lock setup that you'd route through the bikes and rack to secure everything.
As long as you have a hitch installed on your 2018 Honda Odyssey like the Draw Tite # 76170 this rack would fit and work great.
view full answer... - The ideal bike rack you have described is a platform style rack as these will require the least amount of lifting to the load the bikes and they will be most stable. For this, I recommend the Yakima FourTimer 4 Bike Platform Rack part # Y02469 which will work with all different bike types and is relativity lightweight at only 66 lbs total although you won't have to lift that much each and every time.
If you don't already have a trailer hitch, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver...
view full answer... - The Rhino Rack Road Warrior part # RBC036 is a really great choice that fits the factory crossbars of your 2018 Honda Odyssey, is priced great, and comes with locks for the bikes and the rack. You might have to stagger the direction of the bikes as you install them but you should have no problem fitting 5.
view full answer... - If the bike rack initially comes with a threaded hitch pin like the Malone # MPG2149 or the Curt # C18085 then a locking hitch pin like part # 5201 that you referenced won't actually fit. I do have some alternatives though that you can check out.
For a platform style rack like what you were referring to I recommend the Hollywood Racks TRS # HR3500 which has a locking hitch pin like the # 5201 but the anti-rattle feature is integrate into the bike rack shank so it is much easier...

What our customers are saying:
"The bike rack went together with ease. Everything was in the box, no missing parts. It was very stable on my first trip with it.Works well with womens bikes also. Delivery was prompt with no mishaps. Good job"
Scott
Menomonee Falls, WI
A year later, it is a good, basic rack, but a few things have us looking for another/different rack: weight, the ability to hold the bikes without anything touching the frame there were some slight blemishes where the clamp that holds the bike rubbed the frame - I might have had them too tight, but we upgraded to nicer bikes so want a non-touch option, and the ability to get into our van with the bikes on - a feature found on higher priced models. But I was generally pleased with how the rack performed over the last year.
