Great availability and price matching!



by:

It works well with my Carbon fiber mountain bike. Very stable and it doesn't block the taillights of my Corolla.



by:

Neat design. That's the only positive. Shows up in a million pieces. Surface rust on some of it already. Need a hammer to use "quick release" pins to pivot. 1 1/4" adapter is not long enough for either car I tried, unless your hitch sticks out PAST your bumper don't even bother. Had to trim 2" section of rack to make it fit hitch. Had to grease pivot section because rough surface finish would NOT allow rack to pivot. If I didn't need it (and didn't spend 2 hours assembling) I would have sent it back.

Worst bike rack I've bought since a K-mart contraption 30 years ago.



by:

The bike rack is made for bikes with no fender, our bikes have fenders and a rack over the back tire. We added some padding for the back tire so the rack doesn't get scratched, it works just fine our bikes are secure.



by:

Parts of rack were rusty. Needed to clean and paint.
Good price.
Quick delivery.



by:

GREAT customer service during the buying process. Matt was helpful and provided his direct contact information...pretty unique in this day and age. We are in the process of putting the bike rack together and are pretty impressed with it's durability.



by:

Solid support for transporting 2 bikes vertically. Nice drop down feature for accessing rear hatch door in SUV.



by:

Good bike rack



by:

Nice to keep bike rims distant from the exhaust, which can damage carbon-fiber rims. But, IMHO over-designed......very heavy with thick-walled box channel sections. At least we know it won't structurally fail :)

Still using it and its still holding up. It will lean towards the side wthe heavier bike. It is one of the best for my Jeep TJ having narrow spaced taillights and the only two-bike vertical rack Ive found.

  • Does Softride Hang2 Vertical Bike Rack Fit 2 inch Hitch without Adapter
    Hey Ryan, the Softride Hang2 bike rack part # SR27041 that you referenced does not require any additional hardware to fit into a 2 inch hitch. What kind of bikes do you need to carry?

  • Upright Hanging Style Bike Rack For A 49 lb E-Bike
    I am sorry to say that we do not offer an upright hanging style bike rack that will fit those parameters. With any hanging style 5 or 6 bike rack you will not be able to carry a bike that is over about 37 lbs. We do offer an upright style rack that can hold a 50 lb bike with the Softride Hang2 # SR27041, but this can only carry two bikes. It generally is not recommended to carry an E-bike with a hanging style rack. A platform rack like the would be the way to go. For example the Hollywood...

  • Replacement Bolt for the Softride Bike Extender Bar with the Softride Bike Rack
    The Softride Bike Rack Extender Bar # SR26033 is meant to replace the existing hitch bar on your Softride Bike Rack like the Softride Hang 2 # SR27041. I attached a picture with the pieces side-by-side so you can see how it replaces and "extends" the hitch bar. Once you've uninstalled the old hitch bar and replaced it with your extender, you can use the anti-rattle bolt that came with your bike rack to attach the rack to your hitch receiver. You are correct in that the bar only has holes...

  • Recommended Spare Tire Bike Rack or Hitch Mounted Bike Rack with Vertical Mounting
    There is not a bike rack that will fit a spare tire that loads the bike vertically as you stated without an adapter. The Softride Hang 2 # SR27041 is the closest to what I think you are looking for, but you would need to add an extension like # C45795 for that application. I recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes. I've attached measurements to assist as well as a video. You may alternatively be interested in the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount...

  • Can Hanging Bike Rack Be Tilted With Bikes Loaded?
    The Thule Camber # TH9058 and other similar style hanging racks are not designed to be tilted with bikes loaded. There is an alternative in the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack # SR27041 which is designed for tilting away with bikes loaded. It actually has a mechanism that allows you to glide the bikes out and away from the vehicle, so there's very little effort involved. I've attached a video to assist. You can also tilt the more economical Curt # C18085, with the bikes loaded, however,...

  • Recommended Bike Rack That Allows Rear Doors To Be Opened On Ford Transit Van
    I have a possible solution for you, but we have not yet tested the Softride Hang 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041 on a Ford Transit Van so I can't say for sure if it will allow the rear doors to be opened. I did have someone pull the Softride Hang2 from our warehouse to get some measurements for you. When this bike rack is in the tilted back position, the upright arm measures about 26" from the hitch pin hole on the receiver (see photo). You can measure 26" back from your...

  • Which Bike Rack Will Allow Rear Doors To Open On 2019 Nissan NV 2500?
    I had someone pull the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041 from our warehouse to get some measurements for you. When this bike rack is in the tilted back position, the upright arm measures about 26" from the hitch pin hole on the receiver. You can measure 26" back from your receiver's pin hole to verify if your doors extend out that for. If you have this clearance then there is still a chance that the swinging doors could interfere with the lower arm on the bike...

  • Bike Racks Safe for Use in Hitch on Motorhome
    The Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack # SR27041 and many other quality hitch bike carriers cannot be used in the hitch on a motorhome. Similarly, some racks CAN be used on motorhome but not on a trailer. The reason is the nature of the motion at the rear of such vehicles. On a passenger vehicle (car, van, truck and SUV) the hitch is fairly close to the rear axle, no more than a few feet away. But on a motorhome or trailer the hitch-to-rear-axle distance is much greater, and this greater distance...

  • Hanging Bike Carrier For Carrying Bikes Behind a 5TH Wheel RV Camper
    If your 5th wheel has a rear ladder the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier # LA-102 is going to be your best option since the Softride Hang2 # SR27041 and similar racks are not rated for a 5th wheel. The same is true for swing away racks like the Yakima EXO # Y54ZR. If you do not have a rear ladder the Swagman Original RV Bike Rack # S64152-2 is a hanging rack capable of supporting 3 bikes up to 35lbs each. This rack is rated for use on a 5th wheel and fits in a 2" receiver.

  • Can the Kuat Pivot be Used with Recon Racks or North Shore Racks that Hold Bikes Vertically
    We have a similar bike rack to what you referenced in the Softride Hang2 # SR27041 but it is only a 2 bike model. Provided that the rack you want fits a 2 inch receiver and when loaded is within the capacity limits you can use the Kuat Pivot # PVP20B. The only issue I can think of with that type of bike rack is loading and unloading. The Pivot will raise the height of the rack from where it would normally be in the trailer hitch upwards but only by a few inches.

  • Can Swagman Original 3 Bike Rack Support 49 Pound Bike
    The Swagman Original 3 Bike Rack # S64152-2 that you referenced does have a 35 pound per bike limit. This means that even though the whole rack itself can technically handle the total weight of your two bikes, the individual cradles aren't designed to support the weight of your heavier 49 pound bike. I cannot recommend using this particular rack for your bikes. We actually only have one hanging-style bike rack available that's able to support this kind of single bike weight and it is...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a Genesis 32 Inch Bicycle
    I do have a better option for you but the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack part # SR27041 would not be a good choice for your Genesis 32" Bicycle as the rear fender would most likely interfere with the lower mounting strap. Instead, I recommend the Swagman Chinook Bike Platform Rack part # S64683 as long as your wheelbase is not more than 50".

  • Does Thule Hanging Bike Rack Tilt Down With Bikes Loaded
    Just like the Thule Helium Pro, the Thule Apex does not tilt down with bikes loaded. It fact, there is only one hanging bike rack that tilts down with bikes loaded, the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack # SR27041. This is because there would be too much stress on the cradles - the lower the bikes got the more they'd twist - and because the rack arms would no longer be horizontal and have a place for the bikes to rest on. The Softride is different because the bikes hang vertically. So to tilt...

  • Kinds of Bikes That can be Used on a Softride Hang2 Bike Rack
    The Softride Hang2, part # SR27041 can hold two bikes that weigh up to 50 pounds each that have flat style handlebars. Generally, this means that you can hold standard mountain bikes, fat bikes, some kids bikes, and most road bikes. The Hang2 can also hold kids bikes with 20 inch and larger wheel diameters. If you have a curved handlebar or any alternate style handlebar, it won't work on the Hang2.

  • Recommended Trike Rack for a 2019 Lincoln MKC
    I have a great option for you to transport your JC26X tadpole-style recumbent trike, but I do not recommend using the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041. Setting aside the potential issue of ground clearance hitch height with your hitch, the Softride Hang2 requires front handlebars to mount to the clamps at the top. Since we have not fitted a recumbent-style bike on the clamps there is no way to confirm whether the clamps will adequately secure at any point of...

  • Is there a Swing-Away Hitch Adapter for a 2023 Ram Promaster 3500 Class B?
    No, I am sorry. Your research is correct the swing-away adapters like the item # PVP20B just aren't built strong enough to withstand the extra vibrations and stress caused by being mounted on RV's. Plus they reduce the hitches capacity by 50% leaving you with a minimal amount of capacity to handle the weight of a 4-bike bike rack and the bikes themselves. The only solution I can offer you is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HR1400Z which tilts down when loaded or unloaded...

  • Recommended Trailer to Haul 2 Trikes
    Paul, the only trailer we have that you could potentially use is the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7. This trailer measures 88" long x 52" wide, and has a max payload capacity of 1,640 lbs.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a Tandem Bike
    No, I am sorry Jim the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack item # SR27041 does not work with tandem bikes. The only option I have for a hitch mounted bike rack, that is compatible, would be the Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack item # S64650-EXT. You would need to make sure your bike's wheel base is 69" or less and weighs 35 lbs or less. The Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack item # S64650-EXT also mounts in 1-1/4" Class II and 2" hitch receivers. It weighs 38 lbs.

  • Recommended 2-Bike Swing Away Hitch For 2020 Volvo XC60 W/ 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
    I would be happy to help! I recommend using the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks W/ 2" Receivers # Y02483 with the Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitch # S44FR. This will allow you to carry two bikes weighing up to 45lbs each and will be able to swing away so you can open the rear cargo area of your 2020 Volvo XC60 with the bikes still on the rack. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Availability of 2-Bike Swing Away Hitch Rack
    For a 2-bike rack that has the ability to swing away from the vehicle, we have the RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches, part # RKY10002. This is a platform style bike rack that is super easy to use and comes loaded with features, like a hitch and cable lock. If you were looking for a hanging style rack instead, the closest option we have is going to be the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack # SR27041. While it doesn't swing out, it does have a lever that allows the rack to glide out...

  • Hitch Bike Rack for Use in Class I Hitch on 2008 Golf GTI
    The Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack # SR27041 requires a Class II hitch. Only light-duty Class I hitches are made for your car so you will need to choose a Class I-compatible hitch rack of no more than 2-bike capacity. The linked page displays all 2-bike Class I racks. A 2-bike rack I really like is the Curt # C18085. This hanging rack suspends the bikes by their wheels for no frame contact, it is very lightweight, it offers a substantial 45-lbs-per-bike weight rating, it provides a foot of...

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack for 2012 Chevy Equinox
    It seems you are concerned about the width of a hanging bike rack and security for your long road trip. There are a couple of different options I'd like to give you to choose from, all of which are really nice bike racks just with different features. The first two are platform bike racks where the the racks only touch the wheels. The third is a vertical hanging bike rack where the frame is also untouched as the bikes hang by the handle bars.

  • Availability of Bike Rack that Can Pivot Away from Rear of Truck for Tailgate Access
    The only type of bike rack that's going to allow you full access to the tailgate of your Ford F-350 is going to be a swing away bike rack like the Thule Apex XT part # TH9027XT. This type of bike rack has a pivot assembly built into the shank of the rack that allows it to swing away from the vehicle to the side so that you get full access to the truck bed. While this is a 4 bike hanging setup we also have 2 bike platform setups like the Yakima EXO swing part # Y92VR.
