- Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2024Verified PurchaseThe rack arrived quickly & the box was in good condition. It comes boxed as a few fairly large components, so assembly was pretty straightforward. As others have said, the instructions aren't great (in fact, somewhat inaccurate) but still, no big problem.
One small bit of MacGyvering was required. They understandably suggest the heavier bike should on 'the inside' (nearer the vehicle.) But they also say 'the smaller one should be on the inside', which I found confusing. I realized by 'smaller' they meant 'lower cross bar'. This is because the inside-facing hook which holds the inner bike down has a lower range of travel than the outside-facing one. In my case, the outside-facing hook couldn't go down low enough to grab the crossbar of my wife's bike. Fortunately, by undoing a couple of screws, I was able to swap the two hooks, so the inner one was higher and the outer one was lower. This way, the heavier & taller bike could be on the inside, and the lighter & lower bike could be on the outside. Anyway, it all worked out well, and the first trial drive with the bikes on the rack went well - good & sturdy, nothing shifting around or rattling, etc.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2024Verified PurchaseArrived fully assembled. Installed in my trailer hitch easily. Anti-rattle bolt installed and locked without difficulty. I am using it to transport one e-bike which, with the battery removed (as suggested by the manufacturer of the bike) is just under the recommended weight for transport. Due to the design of my bike I had to purchase a top beam. The ratcheted retainer post holds the bike securely; I loaded and transported my bike without difficulty. The locking features gives me some peace of mind if I need to leave the bike on my car when parked for a short time. Easy to remove from car and fold for storage.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2024Verified PurchasePurchased to fit new bike with 29"wheels. Folds up nice and small, good adjustability. One down fall is with the locks. I have a full suspension and the shock is in the way of the lock. Very hard to get the key in and out. Other then that bike is secure and fits good. Quality is ok for the price.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2021Verified PurchaseI have seen the rack out and about and just installed it myself. So far I can only comment on the assembly and overall appearance. The rack comes with a hitch lock and locks on the hooks that hold the frame in place. The hitch lock is pretty much useless as the rack is screwed in the hitch receiver with 2 easily accessible screws which when removed you can take the whole rack with the bikes minus the receiver. Also if you tilt the vertical stick backwards you can slide the bikes out of the tires rests so that also makes these locks kinda useless. Other than that the rack was easy to assemble if you have the right nuts and it looks well made. I will update this review after using it on a trip if there is a negative experience.

- Reviewed in Canada on October 5, 2024Verified PurchaseIt has all the features I need, locking hitch and bikes, tilting bikes for trunk access and bike stripes. It won’t take E-bike which doesn’t bother me at all. I bought it on sale for 160 which does the job with those double even triple priced racks… I am not sure if it has a model for extended rack to fit 4 bikes even E-bikes.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 16, 2020Verified PurchaseOur older first generation non-locking version of this Sportrack rack model, which worked really well and was so easy for my wife and I to load and unload our hybrid bikes onto, finally bit the dust after 15 years, so we decided to upgrade to this newer locking version. It’s a solid rack and I really liked the idea of the locking hooks, but it turns out that they, in conjunction with the newer style of wheel trays (the old ones were flat) may make it awkward or perhaps even impossible for loading some taller-frame bikes. In my case, my Specialized Crossroads 22” hybrid won’t load easily like other bikes in the instructional videos I’ve watched, even on the outside trays. (I haven’t tried loading my bike on the vehicle side of the post where it is supposed to go, being the heavier of our two bikes, because I’m afraid of damaging the car in what could end up being a futile effort to get it to fit on that side of the rack.) This is because the upper arm doesn’t go up quite high enough to permit my frame, which has a gently curving sloped profile along the top section, to get underneath it and allow both wheels into their trays unless I tilt the whole bike back towards me first, then set the front wheel in its tray before slipping the frame underneath the arm and finally setting the back wheel into place. To get it off I have to do the exact reverse. I’ve gotten used to this routine and it’s a pretty quick and simple go-around, but it is necessary in the case of my bike because, unlike the non-locking version of this rack, the lockable arms don’t slip up the center post beyond a certain point and cannot be removed from the post. An alternative approach I tried was to flip the wheel trays upside down, which made it a snap to load the bike the normal way and felt stable enough to be an option one could consider, although I’m sure the manufacturer wouldn’t approve. So, if you have a men’s bike frame that’s tall, it might be a good idea to try this rack out somewhere before you buy, or consider the non-locking version.
Another issue that I never had with my previous rack is that when I’m driving and there’s no bike on it (i.e, the rack is folded up vertically) the wheel trays tend to slip down their shaft no matter how much it seems that I tighten their knobs, often making it necessary to re-align them again to fit our bikes, which is annoying. Tightened hard, the knobs could be quite difficult to loosen for someone with an injured arm or weak wrists.
Note that bikes tend to rock a bit on this type of rack when being driven, so try to secure the rubberized hooks down tight on your bike frame to avoid abrasive rubbing between the rubber of the hook and your bike frame because, depending on the quality of the bike factory's paint job, over time your paint will probably wear off on that spot as it has on one of our bikes.
Be aware that to get full access to the rear of a vehicle you have to remove the bikes and then swing the vertical post down to a horizontal position. However, If your vehicle's back window opens, you may be able to access the back of your vehicle through that window without removing the bikes, or perhaps by just removing the one bike closest to the car. I have a crossover vehicle with a hatch-style rear window that I can open fully with both bikes still on the rack.
I find the pin setup that allows you to fix the wings in place (either opened or folded up) can be a bit annoying to deal with in the dark of night in terms of getting the pins to line up in their respective holes, especially if the plastic sleeve that lines the inside of the receptacle area has moved out of alignment, which it does on ours on occasion. Note, too, that all three pins this rack utilizes are attached to the rack by very thin stranded wire protected by an extremely thin plastic sheath, which isn’t very durable. So be careful during assembly not to scrape the plastic. One of mine was already damaged when I opened the box and kudos to the company I bought the rack from through Amazon who got a replacement sent out to me immediately for no charge. If a wire should ever break, you can also buy a replacement pin on Sportrack’s site, but to be truthful the wire isn’t absolutely necessary because the pins themselves seem secure once they are set in place.
Overall I like the rack. The design concept is neat and it is relatively easy to assemble. Pretty good value for the money, too. While there is a contact phone number for info or parts, be advised that Thule bought Sportrack a while back and, to paraphrase one representative I spoke with, it isn’t treated as a high-priority part of their catalogue.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2024Verified PurchaseIt’s not hard to fit the bicycles. It’s not too big. It’s a safe rack.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2023Verified PurchaseInstalled into my 2” hitch on my grand Cherokee and the back door still lifts up and clears everything so I can leave it installed even when I’m not carrying bikes.
Everything feels solid when securing the bike.
The lock is a nice touch but I would not rely on the lock thinking your bike is safe it can be easily bumped or picked in seconds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value; poor directions! Lock won't fit BMW x7 hitch
Verified PurchaseSome of the poorest written assembly directions I've seen... take a little while to figure out but not too many pieces to assemble. Well made for the money buy the lock will not work with the factory hitch that comes with the BMW SUV's

5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy
Verified PurchaseThis bike rack is great for back of our suv. Allowing us to open the back of suv if needed. (Ford Explorer )
The price is well worth every penny. Very easy adjust and Secure our bikes. Much easier then our older and expensive one which we put to the curb, due to the cumbersome nonsensical maneuvers one had to make to secure the bikes safely.
I am five two and maybe 105 pounds and can easily attach to the suv then secure my bikes with out another person
Pulling and tugging to help get the bikes right. . It may not be a big deal to some but, to me it is if I can do this myself I would definitely purchase this again. No missing parts . Assembly very easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legit!
Verified PurchaseI've had this bike rack for months now but I was able to truly test this rack this past weekend. Two bikes were on the rack for 10 hours, including a 7.5-hour drive. One bike weighs around 41 lbs. The other around 40 lbs. The dips on the roads had me concerned the main bar which you connect to the hitch receiver might bend due to the weight of both bikes, the motion it absorbs from all the driving, and the hours it had to hold the bikes in a moving vehicle. When I got home, nothing was wrong with the rack. It's still as sturdy as ever. Kudos to an excellent product!
