SportRack Deluxe 3-Bike Hitch Rack

The SportRack SR2703 3-Bike Lock & Tilt Hanging Hitch Rack offers a secure and stable solution for transporting up to three bicycles on vehicles equipped with 1-1/4" or 2" hitch receivers. It features a robust design that ensures bikes are held firmly in place without wobbling during transit.

Key to its stability is the "No-Wobble" hitch pin, which securely fastens the rack to the hitch receiver, preventing any movement or rattling while driving. This hitch-mounted carrier utilizes a single support arm that extends outward from the vehicle, accommodating one to three bikes. Each bike attaches easily using rotating clamps that grip the top tubes firmly. These clamps are designed with rubberized interiors to protect bike finishes from scratches.

A notable feature of the SR2703 is its tilt mechanism, which allows the rack to pivot backward when unloaded. This feature is activated by removing a pin at the base of the rack, enabling easy access to the rear of the vehicle without having to remove the entire rack. The ability to tilt also means the rack can remain installed on the vehicle when not in use, offering convenience and flexibility.

Security is enhanced with integrated locks on the knob that secures the rear-most bike, ensuring all bikes can be locked to the carrier simultaneously. Additionally, the rack itself can be locked to the vehicle's hitch receiver using a separate hitch lock (sold separately), providing added peace of mind against theft.

SportRack, a member of the Thule Group based in Granby, Quebec, Canada, has been a pioneer in designing easy-to-use rack systems since 1980. Their products, including roof racks, hitch-mounted carriers, and cargo boxes, emphasize accessibility and durability. The SR2703 reflects this ethos with its user-friendly installation and operation, supported by a lifetime warranty for original purchasers covering manufacturing defects.

It's important to note that while the SR2703 is versatile, some bike frame styles may require a Thule Frame Adapter for secure attachment to hanging bike racks. Also, the rack should not be installed on trailers or other towed vehicles. Potential buyers are advised to consult the fit guide in the Product Details section to ensure compatibility with their specific vehicle model.

Overall, the SportRack SR2703 3-Bike Lock & Tilt Hanging Hitch Rack combines sturdy construction, ease of use, and security features to provide cyclists with a reliable solution for transporting bikes conveniently and safely on road trips and outdoor adventures.
