Built to handle real-world biking, the Trail Rider hauls up to 2 bikes at 45 lbs each without flex or wobble. The steel platform frame and 5" shank rise keep bikes stable and clear, even over driveways or rough pavement. The anti-rattle, locking hitch pin tightens the rack to the hitch, cutting sway so everything rides solid from start to finish.

No need to wrestle with straps or clamps. Just drop each bike into the trays and slide down the ratcheting frame hooks until they lock in place. Each hook moves independently to fit different bike sizes, and the locks are keyed alike to the hitch pin for one-key convenience. It’s a frame-mount setup that works smoothly and keeps bikes steady mile after mile.

The adjustable wheel holders slide along the arms to fit wheelbases up to 60" and tire widths up to 3.0". Hook-and-loop straps loop around the wheels for extra hold. For more variety, adapters are available for fat tires or small 16" wheels (sold separately), giving the rack flexibility to match different types of bikes in your garage.



When the ride’s over, the Trail Rider folds down small. At 36.25 lbs, it’s easy to lift off the hitch and store. The arms fold up for a slim profile—about 9" wide x 39" tall when folded—so it tucks neatly against the wall or in a corner, ready for the next trip.

Switching hitches? No problem. The included adapter sleeve lets the rack fit both 1-1/4" (Class I/II) and 2" (Class III) receivers. A single screw swaps it in seconds. The black powder-coated steel construction stands up to rust and road wear, backed by a limited lifetime warranty that keeps your setup ready for countless rides.

I'm interested to hear what is too lose and why that may be. What kind of vehicle are you installing the bike rack on? Does it have a 2" or 1-1/4" receiver?

This rack has served me very well over the past year. It is hard to beat for the money. I use it year round to carry my fat tire bike through the tough winters of Erie, Pa. with no issues. Good product.
