Review on SwingAway 3-Bike Rack For 2" Receiver By Surco - Enhance Your Biking Adventures by Ben Daugherty

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best Bike rack ever

Easy to put on, built like a tank, NEVER have to worry about the bikes coming off. If your car was totaled in an accident, this will still hold your bikes, and the bike rack would still be attached to the car! Got this rack after a previous one had a strap failure dumping/dragging the bikes on the road.The only down side to this rack is the bolts/knobs that clamps the plate down to lock the bikes to the rack - the bolts are fine thread and there are a lot of threads, takes quite a few turns to get it off, but no big deal - in fact these fine thread bolts are added strength, not that it is needed, but it is there. After disengaging a 2 lock system which (takes only seconds) bikes swing easily out of the way of the trunk area- engaging the locks are even faster, the first lock just clicks in place. Overall a great design in its simplicity, strength and function.NOTHING is better, and I had a few other racks to compare!

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • The overall size of the SwingAway 3-Bike Rack can obstruct the rear view of the vehicle, making it difficult to see when driving
