What kind of bike rack will carry 2 Rad Bikes each weighing around 70 pounds. I need a rack that will swing out so I can access the back of my Ford Transit van.

Thanks for reaching out, Robert!
I recommend pairing the Yakima OnRamp LX # Y88DJ with the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483 for your application. The OnRamp LX gives you the weight ratings you're needing, along with the adjustability to fit a wide variety of bike frame styles (including your RAD bikes). And then the BackSwing gives you the ability to swing the bike rack away from your vehicle while the bikes are still loaded up - giving you full access without having to remove anything!

Thanks for the reply. We have been working on it and hopefully have it worked out. The main problem is going to be the handle still hits the glass so we are going to have to tilt it back every time we get into the back of the van. We had to put my wives lighter red on 1st and it is the lighter bike. Is this going to cause a problem? Thanks again.
