1Up USA Heavy Duty Single

Start here if you only carry one bike and want the option to expand later. At 28 lbs it is one of the lightest quality racks you can get, and the modular system lets you add a second tray down the road. The 50 lb per-bike limit means standard bikes only — not e-bikes — but the aluminum construction, carbon-frame-safe cradles, and tilt-away make it a rack you will keep for years. I recommend this to solo riders who want buy-once quality without overspending.
