SportRack A30902 4EZ Hitch Platform 4 Bike Rack

Pros: this rack carries 4 bikes without any of them touching, and they are supported exactly the way they are designed to be supported. The carrier appears indestructible. If you have a lift back, the hatch can be opened when the carrier is mounted (but not when the bikes are on the rack). Any size or shape bike can be carried. When driving, the bikes are secure and silent.

Cons: weight -- the disadvantage to indestructibility is that a lot of steel was used to build the rack, and that makes it heavy (about 60 lbs without bikes). This weight only comes into play when putting the carrier on your car, or taking it off. loading -- If you have a lift-back, you need to get into it before the bikes are loaded. The upright bars can be tilted away from the back of the car far enough to open the back. length -- you have to remember that this carrier is sticking out a few feet behind your car. Storage -- even folded up it takes a lot of room in your garage.

I bought this rack for a trip to Moab as we needed to put four bikes with non-standard geometries on the car. This rack served the purpose but if I had to use it on a regular basis I would definitely not buy this rack. I would spend more money for a better rack. The bike mounts had to be adjusted to get the bikes on the first time. Once we got them adjusted we always put them in the same place and it was fine. I thought the rack folded up against the car but it does not (that is my fault for not reading the details). It sticks out pretty far and as a result is not something you would leave on without bikes. Since the rack is heavy and needs a wrench to attach/detach this could be a real show-stopper. Putting on bikes will limit the visibility of your cars tail/brake lights and would be a little concerned about being rear-ended. I would suggest some reflective material to enhance visibility.

The bottom line - buy a better rack! The first priority is to get one that... Read more

I was looking for a platform style rack for a while and the I saw this on amazon on sale. So far I am extremely happy with the rack. It functions as advertised.
Pros: 1) Well Built
2) Able to put two adult mountain bikes, One 20", and one 16" bike. For 16" I had to play with the location of top C-clamps. Put smaller one below the larger one...even though instruction say otherwise.
3) Very sturdy

Cons: Not many but it is heavy..but comes with the sturdy/well built
2) I would have loved if it can be converted to two rack (by removing last two platforms)

Overall very happy and would recommend it.
