Saris T-RAX Basic 4 Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Recevier) Review

Saris builds bike racks like a brick-you-know-what. The T-RAX is no exception. I regularly haul bikes all over the mountains and by-ways of the Pacific Northwest, this four-place hitch-mounted rack works with my Prius perfectly. I have had this rack for three-plus years and it is going strong. Straps that hold on both the vertical and horizontal axis to keep the bikes in place, there is no issue about rubbing - and they go on and off in seconds. With no hitch-wobble due to the screw-down pin system (seriously, the only major concern I have with my Prius is that I forget bikes are back there). I have been very happy with the Saris T-RAX, it was a bit more than several bargain racks - but has none of the issues which can make hauling bikes a pain, or even dangerous. There are more expensive rack systems available, my opinion (based on several years of use) is that Saris is all-that and more. It is so strong, I leave it on during the week to discourage those who parallel park by braille - no one messes with my back bumper anymore!

So you and your friends want to go and do some road work? Load 'em up with the T-RAX four-bike two-inch receiver hitch mount bike rack from Saris.

The two-inch receiver hitch mounts is engineered to accommodate almost any bike size. The soft rubber hold-downs and pivoting anti-sways ensure that the rack doesn't make direct contact with the bike frame, yet is adjustable so you can eliminate the wobble and pitch that can damage both of your vehicles.
The HitchTite base connects easily to your hitch receiver, and allows the rack to be tilted for easy rear access. The ratcheting carrier arms with QuickTite knobs secure your bike in one smooth motion, and make it possible to fold them out of your way when they're not in use. Safe and secure, the T-RAX from Saris is a sturdy and easy to use hitch mount carrying system.

While traveling through Wildwood, Florida. I look back and saw the police cars lights on. I pulled to my right at the next safe off. He was informing me that my Bike rack had broken and one of my bikes was just before hitting the road. One of the arms that support the bikes had broken totally off and was laying in the middle of the intersection. I thinked him, placed the bike inside my RV and continued on my trip. I would have never have thought this would happen. So be told the support arms can and will brake off.

I have a S10 pickup with a topper and my options for a bike rack were limited. This is perfect. It's a little labor intensive to put on and take off but it works... it works well... and I'm very happy with it.

great bike rack that is very well built, only complaint is the holders are so big it's hard to get most female bikes to fit, I had to modify the outer holder for my wifes bike and am having a hard time finding a bike for my seven year old that will fit.

I tried a friend's very similar to this. Also bought a different type that uses the rubber straps for securing. I prefer these plates that screw down. Also, my friend's bolts are shorter, so with bikes with fat bars, you had to use an adapter. Still have to use adapter for one 24" bike, but the 26" bike has enough clearance between bars to slide the bottom plate through. Just wish it would swing down for easier access to liftgate.

We thought this would be great for towing all our bikes, but the way most bikes are made now for adults it doesnt fit right. You could buy extenders on another website, but they cost $25 each..... and we would need 2 for each of our bikes. Both our twin girls have Barbie 16" bikes, and they do not fit at all on the bike rack, not even w/ extenders. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!

Swagman XP Fold Down 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Review

Swagman XP Fold Down 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Swagman's claim on this rack is that it:
"provides the ultimate in flexibility to accommodate a variety of bike frame designs"
So I figured I'd spend a little extra $$ on the rack and avoid buying a bunch of crossbars. Unfortunately, the rotating cradles are so big that quite a few bikes (including my GT XCR) start having trouble fitting into them without quite a bit of twisting and pushing, on top of that pretty much render crossbars useless.
It is a good rack but I'd recommend getting the non-rotating cradles if you really want more flexibility in the bikes it can accommodate.

Swagman XP Fold Down 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Review

Swagman XP Fold Down 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the third bike rack my wife and I have tried and for once a pleasant surprise. I own a Jeep Liberty with the spare tire mounted on the back. Most hitch mounted bike racks require you to purchase a hitch extension costing between $30 and $70 dollars to clear the spare. The mounting tube on this rack has two pre-drilled positions, one for clearing a spare, and one for bringing the rack closer if you don't have a rear mounted spare. Needless to say I was pleased not having to spend the extra money for the extension.
This is also a well built rack, not flimsy like many similarly priced racks I have seen. There is no need to provide extra stability with straps etc. to keep it from twisting.
This rack provides quite a bit of security as well. A locking pin is provided for attaching the section that swivels to the section mounted to the hitch, and one of the three mounting brackets has a locking knob.
Finally, the single tube design is a lot more adaptable than the racks that have two arms for holding the bike. We bought a Thule spare tire mounted rack for my wife's Jeep, and while it is a nice rack, we had a really rough time getting the frames of our mountain bikes to clear the two support arms. With the Swagman, it is no problem, much easier to load and unload. You can rest assured you will get your money's worth with this rack.

Bike Hitchbiker Rack Review

Bike Hitchbiker Rack

It is as advertised. The unit itself is well built. The rubber pads that the bike sits on will easily slide back and forth on the bars. I'm thinking of hose clamps on the bar to act as stops. On my 1-1/4" hitch the unit is just a little bit smaller and will pivot 5 to 10 degrees (parallel to the back of the car) even with the hitch pin inserted. Not a big deal as during normal driving (even at 70 mph)it doesn't rock back and forth unless you're going over bumps. The threaded hitch pin is milled at the end to accept a hitch lock, but doesn't come with one. you're on you own for the lock. I bought mine for $70 at wal-mart and thought it was an OK deal

Swagman 3 Bike Fold Down (2" Receiver) Review

Swagman 3 Bike Fold Down (2 Receiver)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have 3 bikes in my household; mine (Oval Shaped Frame), my wife's (Oval Shaped Frame), and my daughters (Guess what Oval Shaped Frame). The other problem is none of my bikes have a bar across the middle where the tie downs can balance the bikes well.
So this is what happens, once I get it all tied down if I hit to many bumps the bikes shift their position so the majority of the weight is near the ground. This is bad because the back wheel when attached to my car is only 4 inches from the ground, which means if I hit a speed bump the bikes rear wheel is toast. The tie downs tighten so this should not happen, but even after tightening mine until the plastic clip almost broke, my daughters bike had done a 90 degree turn after a speed bump which meant I had to get out, unlock it, spin it back around and then retighten (About a 10 minute job if done right). If I had to do again I would have gotten roof racks, and stored one bike in the trunk. Oh well.
I think rope might help this but it is going to look pretty ghetto.

Thule No-Sway Cage Accessory - 2 Pack Review

Thule No-Sway Cage Accessory - 2 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was skeptical. How effective could these actually be? But for the price I figured "why not give them a try?"
Worth the extra $20 or so. Although there was little to no sway with the Thule rack in the first place (I love my Thule rack - the 912), these keep the bikes extra firm and in their place when you're on backroads. But, I think most importantly, these cages keep the bikes from banging into each other and causing unnecessary frame dings.
Cons:
A little bit of a hassle to put on and take off - maybe 5 minutes extra to secure two bikes.
Also, you have to throw them in your car rather than leave them on the rack - too easy to steal so why risk it.
I like them - I recommend as long as they're less than $20.

I really like this bike rack. The price was higher than many of the alternatives but it was worth it for me with the included locks and for a superior product.
What really impressed me was the way you can position the straps. With each bike I was able to strap one verticle tube on the bike frame and one horizontal tube providing pretty good stability. This even worked great on my daughters small girls bike that has an oddly shapped frame.
