How to Choose the Right Bike Rack?
Not all bike racks work the same way. The best option depends on your vehicle, the number of bikes you want to carry, and how often you plan to use the rack.
Our team helps customers choose between several popular rack styles:
Roof Bike Racks
Roof mounted racks carry bikes on top of your vehicle and are a great solution if you already have crossbars installed. These racks keep the rear of the vehicle clear and allow full access to the trunk.
Hitch Bike Racks
Hitch mounted racks are one of the most convenient options. They mount to your trailer hitch receiver for easy use. Many models carry multiple bikes and feature tilt or swing away designs for access to the trunk.
Trunk Bike Racks
Trunk mounted racks are an affordable and flexible option for anyone without a trailer hitch. They attach securely to the rear of your vehicle for occasional use or transporting one or two bikes.
Truck Bed bike racks
For transporting your bikes securely inside your truck bed using specialized mounts to hold your bike safely upright, preventing movement while travelling.
