Why this product
This is the rack people upgrade to and never replace. Zero frame contact, 67 lb per-bike capacity for e-bikes, integrated locks for both bikes and the hitch, plus tilt-away and fold-flat. At 78 lbs it is heavy — plan on a two-person install — but that weight means rock-solid stability at highway speeds. If you are hauling expensive bikes and want every convenience feature built in, this is the one to match your actual use case.
