The wheel cup slides along the tray and locks where your wheelbase needs it, so a 20-inch fat-tire folder and a 29-inch full-size sit on the same rack.

Tires up to 5 inches wide drop straight in — no adapters, no taking the front wheel off.

An anti-wobble bolt pulls the shank tight inside the receiver and takes the play out of the hitch connection.

Less knocking at speed also means less wear on the receiver — and on the bikes.

A steel backbone carries the load where it counts, while the tray and arms are aluminium to keep down the weight you actually handle. The whole rack weighs 90 lbs and carries 200.

The clamp closes over the top of the tire and pulls it down into the cup. Every bit of holding force goes through rubber — the one part of a bike built to take it.

Step-throughs, low-standover frames, fenders and carbon frames all load the same way, because the clamp never touches any of them.

One press opens the tire clamp and swings the arm clear. No hooks to unthread and no straps to unbuckle — the bike rolls straight back down the ramp.

The ramp stores under the tray and unfolds to the ground in one motion.

A 70 lb e-bike gets walked up instead of dead-lifted onto a tray at bumper height. It is the difference between needing a second person and loading on your own at a dark trailhead.

With the bikes off, the arms fold down and the platform folds up against the car.

Depth drops from 44 inches to 16.5, so it clears the garage door and stops eating the driveway.

The ratchet slides along the rail and clicks into position, so the spacing you set for two bikes does not creep loose over a washboard road.

Each side adjusts on its own, which is how two bikes of different sizes end up with their bars clear of each other.
