At a glance
Why this product
A budget hanging hitch rack that fits both 1.25-inch and 2-inch hitches β that dual compatibility is useful if you share the rack between vehicles. Two bikes at 35 lbs each, tilt-away, steel at 32 lbs. No bike locks, not carbon-safe. I sold a lot of budget racks like this to weekend warriors who just needed something reliable. Start here if you want hitch-mount carrying at the lowest possible price and are fine with basic features.
