Budget hitch-mount bike rack for occasional use
Last reviewed: April 2026
At a glance
Why this product
The Spine Shield padding protects your bike frame from the hanging arms — an upgrade from basic Allen racks that scratch paint. Quick-tilt lever for trunk access, two bikes at 35 lbs each, steel at 20 lbs. Hitch lock included but no bike locks. I recommend this as a budget-conscious step up from the basic Allen hanging racks. The padding makes a noticeable difference in protecting your bike finish without spending premium rack money.
