Don't waste money.

First of all the straps that hold the pens and bikes are cheap plastic and started to break during installation. that does not work. Be warned if it doesn't fit and you want to return it you will have to pay for return postage and you will not get your money back. I tried contacting support and they said the transaction was complete because I received it from Revain. DO NOT BUY THIS RACK FROM THIS COMPANY!

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • piggy bank price

Perfect fit for a 2 "(2 ") hitch receiver! (NO SWING)

After failing with another hitch mount that wobbled wildly with a 2" (2") hitch, I did a little more research this time. around and picked up a TYGER TG-RK3B101S hitch mount. I've only done a few short rides on my bike, but this bike rack is way better than other bike racks. The coupler pocket inlet fits snugly into the 2" (2") coupler and the stabilizing pin keeps it from wobbling at all. inches), this is the perfect bike hitch mount!

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • Functionality

not good for colder weather, bad straps break

Update - So I decided to use this rack on a trip to the Pocono Mountains, the weather was under 30. Maybe 25, the straps just broke like cheap plastic . I could not believe my eyes. Failed in 2 minutes. It seems to work in the heat, but in cold weather those straps are useless. I do not recommend. Good sturdy bike rack; I use it to transport 4 bikes 2 adults and 2 children. It's a little tight, but it works. No complaints. I almost bought Thule from Dix for $250, but it's just as good for $100…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • poorly thought out

This Tyger 4 bike hitch rack sucks (DO NOT BUY)

I decided to buy this rack from several others because the reviews are mostly 5/5 stars with great Reviews seemed to be how much valuable it is, 2 locks were also a plus. But upon receipt of the rack, the packaging was not attached at all, the metal just rang in the box, nothing was attached. The strut assembly wasn't too bad, but after installing it on the hitch, I found that it had SIGNIFICANT wobble, even after it was tightened to the max. This is very disheartening as I've seen several…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Great shelf for your money!

Received this the day before our 700 mile trip. We have 4 bikes: (2) adults, (2) children. It took me a minute to figure out how to get them to mix, especially with two women's bikes. The instructions didn't offer any help or ideas with the girl's incline bars, but I got it. Once put on and strapped in, they looked pretty solid. I added a strap to the hitch itself to pull it. I believe this greatly reduced the sway that might have been encountered when driving on the road (at 75-80 mph). This…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Crumpled

Fantastic boot priced at

We bought this frame because we liked the looks and the reviews and weren't inclined to shell out $250-300 for a Yakima or Thule alternative. A month has passed and we are very happy with our decision. The luggage rack is rock solid, the buckles keep the bikes securely in place, the hitch mount (even for a 2" hitch) is solid metal, and the availability of extras like a hitch lock, padlock, and straps is an added plus . . We recently brought two bikes from Virginia to Ohio and they didn't budge…

Pros
  • Easy car access with tilt function and folding handles for carrying when not in use. Soft supports and a protective pad are used to individually fix bicycles and protect bicycle frames.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

It really works for 2011 Ford Edge

Ignore the note above that says it doesn't work on the 2011 Ford Edge. It really is and it's okay. I carry my MTB on a belt carrier. good quality. Still, it's a bit scary to drive on the freeway because sometimes the seat belts would dangle (no matter how tight I buckled them) or a sudden turn could warp the entire strut. So I decided to mount it in the hitch for peace of mind. and i have it. PROS: - Good quality, durable and works well - Stays in place, period. Someone said that there is an…

Pros
  • Easy install in minutes. (Do-it-yourself instructions included.) To stabilize the bike while riding, you must attach both of the included seat belts. Otherwise, all resulting accidents and damage will not be covered by the warranty.
Cons
  • So So

Great porter except when hauling your bikes down the street.

Stand swivels in two places. The top fork folds down for storage and the entire rack pivots away from the car so you can open the tailgate. Both attach with a long bolt (with a large plastic handle) that threads into a nylon-inserted nut. No clips or pins. On the way back from vacation the bottom bolt vibrated and the trunk tipped over and started dragging our bikes down the road. The tip stop really limited his fall to the point that it only destroyed the front wheels on two of our bikes. The…

Pros
  • Robust and comfortable design for 4 bikes. Lightweight ratchet buckles. Includes TYGER cable lock, tow bar lock and seat belt. OE standard black electrocoat to protect against rust.
Cons
  • Big and chunky
