Hollywood Racks HR1400 Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)

Product Description

The Sport Rider fits all bikes using a padded universal top clamp and adjustable wheel holders. It is quick and easy to use and has a MSRP under $199. Includes Hollywoods No Wobble" threaded hitch pin that prevents rack sway.

Amazon.com Product Description

This heavy-duty platform-style rack is designed as a 2 + 2 system so it can be easily converted to hold either two bicycles or four bicycles. It mounts on a 2-inch hitch and folds flat against the back of a vehicle when not in use. The rack uses padded universal top clamps and adjustable wheel holders. Bikes need simply to be dropped into the wheel holders and clamps slid down onto the frames. Velcro wheel straps add security. To prevent rack sway, the hitch system is "no-wobble/no-tools" and includes a locking pin and 9-foot security cable. The rack carries a limited warranty against defects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hollywood Racks HR1400 Sport Rider SE 4-bike ROCKS!, November 6, 2008
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR1400 Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
Looked at several racks before finding the perfect one. We haul 4 "hybrid" bikes around. None have the traditional cross bar. The Hollywood Sport Rider supports the bikes by the tires/wheels. It weighs a bit, but if you fold it up, it balances nicely and can be put into the receiver easily. Also, it has a device to tighten it up once in the receiver, so it (and the bikes) do not wobble AT ALL as you cruise down the bumpy side roads. As with most anything in life, you get what you pay for with this awesome rack. Hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solidly built - gets the job done, September 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR1400 Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
I've been looking for a rack with some specific criteria for a while - capacity for 4 bikes, platform rack, solidly constructed, holds mountain or road bikes, 2+2 configuration for when the family stays home. This was the best value.

Things I really like:
* This rack can fold in multiple ways - the top tube folds sideways, so the whole rack can fold up while attached to the car. Or the side tubes fold up for surprisingly compact storage. Locking pins are secure & make for easy setup.
* Includes a locking hitch pin and long cable lock in the package.
* Holds the bikes very securely. I had a hangning-style rack, and the bikes were too close, swung into each other damaging 2. This is rock solid. The bikes are held very securely.
* Ratcheting hold down clamps - once it's configured for your bikes, it's very quick to put the bikes on and off.

Workable, but minor annoyances:
* Attaching the extension to carry 4 bikes requires a wrench &... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bike Rack for unusual bike frames, October 12, 2009

Shelby Austin (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR1400 Sport Rider SE 4-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
This bike rack is great for bikes of all sizes and shapes. We have many bikes in our household and several of them are mountain bikes with unusually thick frames. These bikes would not work on the usual bike racks even with the modifier poles extending from the handle bar post to the seat post.

This is a very sturdy rack and is easy to configure is many different ways. It may take a few times to find the best configuration for your bikes but once you get the hang of it this is a great rack. I have had to be creative with my 3 year old's bike and make sure the hook came over the seat because the frame is too low for the hook to secure it. Although this rack is easy to put on and take off it is a heavy (and bulky to store) so I end up leaving it on my van even when I may not need it for a few days.

I also feel this is a safe rack in case of an accident because the arm of this rack is so low that even with bikes on the rack it is unlikely a rear end collision... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty darn good!, October 10, 2008
This review is from: Swagman XP Fold Down 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
I needed a 5 bicycle rack that could handle all our family bikes, including our 3 children's (5, 7 and 10 yrs. old) for our yearly vacation. This one seemed to be pretty versatile, not requiring additional bars for most bikes.
While it took some work to make all bikes fit just right (especially the little ones), we made the 4 hour trip to the mountains just fine; no excessive movement (though it does sway a little), no damage to the bicycles (I used pipe insulating foam tube pieces in a couple of spots where bikes rubbed each other) and an overall uneventful trip, even on some not-so-smooth roads. Getting the kids' bikes on was kinda tricky (the littlest one had to travel upside down!) but it worked out fine--I don't think it would have been so with some of the other 2-bar models.
However, if I had to load all 5 bikes on a regular basis I'd probably be looking for a different option. Also, something this rack (and most others too) could use is some kind of reflective finish... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product. Carrys 5 bikes easily and safley!!!, June 1, 2010
This review is from: Swagman XP Fold Down 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
Love the bike rack. We went over 600 miles one way through NY City and was no problem for the bike rack. Never had one problem the whole trip. After loading and unloading a few times you start to get the hnag of it. Only thing is, if you have a bike with an oversized frame, mountain bike, kids bikes, you will have to go puchase an add on bar for each bike. They attach from handle bar to under seat and then you raise the seat as high as it can go. Once these add on bars were purchased it was a cinch. But we were dead in the water, until we purchased those. The cradles only fit the regular size tubing or slightly larger of bike frame. Loved it though. Thanks Swagman

5.0 out of 5 stars How could it be improved? It can't, June 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Swagman XP Fold Down 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
I have owned 2 bike racks. One was not worth anything, the other was difficult to use. This is the perfect rack.
1) Five bikes, few others do this.
2) The cradles are adjustable on angle with initial setup. This is the definitive factor! If you've never used a rack try to put bikes of different size and style if you don't have this feature. Just try...
3) The cradles are well designed, padded great, and can accommodate a large range of frame.
4) It folds down which is huge if you use a locking pin.

This is one of the best designed products I have used in a long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fit for our need!, December 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Swagman 4-Bike RV Bumper Rack (Sports)
I bought this after searching for years for a bike rack that would not bounce like crazy on the back of our 30' 5th wheel RV and also allow us to keep our spare tire back there. Works perfectly. We put two adult bikes and a boy's bike on it.

My only negative (and the reason it is only 4 stars) for it are that they give you no good way to secure the bikes. Pretty much, prepare to buy several tie down ratcheting straps and do it like you need it. Seems odd to have to do this for a $150 bike rack. The vertical bars are not spaced correctly and have to be moved around to work right. They still work after you move them, but I suggest those water noodles to protect the bikes.

I know that I needed to add some wedge blocks behind the bumper between the bumper and the bolts to insure it is not sliding around while traveling. I have about 3/4" of extra space. This space is needed to make sure it fits an assortment of bumpers, so it is not that big of a deal, but Swagman... Read more

I bought this bike rack for a east coast tour of the U.S and have driven a total of 3000 miles. All the bike's have made it safe and sound during the whole trip. The rack is robust and mounts rigidly to your rv's bumper. I am very pleased with this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars check the bumper distance to rv, February 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Swagman 4-Bike RV Bumper Rack (Sports)
My bumper was too close to the back of the rv and the bike rack would no bolt around the bumper. I drilled the bumper and mounted the rack through the bumper.
Worked fine until the weight of the bikes bent the bumper down. The product does what it states.
