Swing-away hitch bike racks offer the perfect blend of convenience and functionality. They allow easy access to your vehicle's rear, even with bikes loaded. Ideal for vehicles like Ford Transit and Jeep Wrangler, these racks ensure your bikes are secure a
These racks secure bikes by the tires, making them unsuitable for bikes with rear fenders. However, they work well with mountain bikes featuring mudflap-style fenders, ensuring no damage to the bike frame or components.
Swing-away racks pivot away from the vehicle, allowing full access to the rear without unloading bikes. This is perfect for vehicles with rear doors or tailgates, like the Ford Transit or Jeep Wrangler, ensuring you can easily reach your gear or open doors fully.
While some racks may arrive in multiple pieces, assembly is generally straightforward. Once set up, these racks are easy to use, allowing quick bike loading and unloading. Regular maintenance, like greasing pivot points, ensures smooth operation.
Many swing-away racks come with robust locking mechanisms to secure bikes during transport. These locks are designed to be user-friendly while providing peace of mind that your bikes are safe on the road.
Ensure your hitch extends past the bumper for proper fit. Some setups may require a hitch extender, especially for vehicles with rear-mounted spare tires. Proper installation ensures smooth pivoting and secure bike transport.
