aeoportaSo I needed a light weight bike rack and my choices were roof and hitch mount. i went the hitch mount way because
A: this rack fits both 1.24 and 2" hitch receivers
B: its extremely lightweight at only about 26lbs,
hitch mount produces less drag therefore its more fuel friendly. In terms of build quality it is a very well put together product. The hitch lock it comes with is nice the cord which is for theft deterent only can only lock one bike but you can always get a longer cable to accomodate two bikes. Anti sway feature also works well just gotta make sure you get the proper tension for your vehicle so that there isn't a lot of play. My bikes fit safe and secure on the rack now I don't have to use my strap bike rack which was causing damage to my trunk area.
this is one of the lightest racks available so definately a good choice for cars and you can put it on and take it off in 30 seconds or less. On the road the rack is very stable and there is no need to worry about bungee cords.
