Review on 🚴 Highland 1375100 SportWing: Efficient Hitch Mounted 2 Bike Carrier for Sports Enthusiasts by Chef Buntiloy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tandem or triple bike

Undoubtedly this is an unusual bike rack and I hesitated before purchasing. I've been using it for about a year and several thousand kilometers. For reference, this review is based on the (rather small car) Chevrolet Spark. Here are my impressions: 1. Very little packaged. It is very easy to store at home or in the car. Easily and quickly assembled/disassembled.2. Tandem - this allows me to easily carry the tandem in the back of the car, usually I just take off the front wheel which I also attach to the trunk.3. Troika - (a bike for 3), like a tandem, it's very easy to use with a trio. This offers a lot of flexibility, but I've now set it up to work equally well for tandem and triplets. Since the trio is a longer bike, I also remove the rear tire, but the whole thing is mounted very painlessly and quickly. When carrying bikes, I ALWAYS use a nylon ratchet strap so I can add extra side-to-side support. I usually tie down the outside of the bike and trace the hitch post. I wrap the belt around the bike several times and fasten it in such a way that the belt doesn't slip off - this is a great help against wobbling. With this method, tandem and triplet are very well supported. The entire installation process takes about 5 minutes. I would like to point out that I would not recommend both a tandem and a triple room. That would put too much strain on the mount. I have used other bike mounts and this is my preference if you have a hitch. Definitely one of the easiest to use for a tandem and trio if you want to carry them sideways in the back of the car.
