Review on 59401 Hitch 4 Bike Carrier Security by Evan Zurlo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent purchase. Very beautiful.

Pretty solid build...very solid. I used a 2" receiver so I could screw it directly to the hitch, which I find makes it less noisy. I was concerned that it would be painful to take off and put back on since I don't leave it on all the time. But it's easy to take off and put on again. It's pretty over the top compared to my buddies' racks. I like that the handles fold down when there are no bikes on it and while the lock cable won't stop someone who really wants to seal the bike, I like it as it will at least slow someone down or prevent them from stealing the bike if I walk into the store for a few minutes. Great that it comes with two anti-sway mounts, unlike other racks that cost twice as much! I wish the rubber bumpers on my road bike frame were a little tighter, but I'm not too concerned about them not holding the bike well. It also folds back easily to use my RAV4's tailgate. I emailed the company with a few questions and they responded immediately. I don't know how it will hold up yet but so far I think it's a good buy for the price!
