More information about Hitch Bike Racks
Hitch Bike Racks are the convenient alternative to roof bike rack systems and are available in many different styles. Just want to browse? There are 3 types of
hitch bike racks: If you are looking for the simplest (and most affordable) way to transport your bikes from Point A to Point B, check out our
Fixed Frame Hitch Bike Racks. These are inexpensive and easy to use but will not allow access to your rear liftgate.
Do you need access to the rear of your vehicle? Our
Fold Down Hitch Bike Racks pivot down and away from your vehicle's liftgate to allow trunk access. These are generally a little pricier than our fixed bike racks but are worth the extra dough thanks to their convenient design.
Do you crave high-end functionality? We suggest taking a look at our
Swing Away Hitch Bike Racks which pivot 180 degrees to the side: great for supporting heavier bikes and maximizing access to the rear of your vehicle. Swingaway racks give you the maximum clearance and ease-of-use of any bike rack on the market.
More information about Roof Bike Racks
Roof Bike Racks offer two great advantages if you already have a roof rack setup: 1) affordability and 2) total access to your trunk. If your vehicle is not outfitted with a
roof base rack, installing a
roof bike rack can be as expensive as installing a hitch on your vehicle. If you plan to use a
ski rack, a
roof carrier or another type of rack, a roof rack system offers great versatility. If you are only looking for the ability to transport bikes, we generally recommend a
bike rack hitch.
Roof bike racks come in two styles:
- upright roof bike racks
- fork mount roof bike racks
Upright
bike carriers carry bikes with both of their wheels still attached, while fork mount bike carriers require that one of the bike wheels be removed. Both styles are available in all price ranges.
