Bike Racks

Many people need racks simply for day-to-day use, as opposed to camping, long- distance trips, vacations and so on. Now for such purposes, a heavy- duty, heavily armored bike rack isn’t necessary, though of course it will be appreciated. Such people, however, need a standard bike rack, one that is built simply for use in the city.

The Swagman 4-Bike Standard Rack is exactly that kind of a rack, as the name suggests. While it is built in a simple, basic fashion however, you can rest assured that it is definitely equipped to carry your bikes in a safe and secure manner. The rack has the following features:

• A capacity for carrying up to 4 bikes at a time.
• A design made to fit 2 inch receivers.
• New swedge design that facilitates quick and easy assembly and disassembly for storage.
• Soft Krayton cushions.
• Flexible top plate to accommodate different bike sizes.

As you can see from the features listed above, this rack is made more for convenience than for heavy- duty use. If you feel like you need any additional security, you will need to use extra straps and cords. The rack comes with a new swedge design which allows you to assemble and disassemble the rack in the quickest and easiest way possible. This feature makes it less of a hassle to set up the rack with every use. It is especially useful since the rack doesn’t fold into a compact size easy for storage. The rack also comes with a flexible top plate to accommodate various bike sizes, as well as soft Krayton cushions to protect your bike and provide additional gripping power. This prevents the bikes from getting scratched and damaged when in transit.

Having a capacity of carrying up to 4 bikes, this rack is perfect for a family. It is ideal for transporting children’s bikes, going for little picnics and you can even use it on the highway as long as you add your own protection. Even if you can’t really use it for heavy- duty purposes, this rack is extremely useful and durable at the same time. All its great expediency features allow anyone and everyone to handle and load it without any problems. It has a solid design and construction.

As for the price of the rack, well, you couldn’t have it any better. It is very, very reasonably priced. Four- bike racks are usually more expensive, but in a way the low price makes up for the lack of extra security features. The rack could definitely do with some anti-sway mechanism, may be a locking pin and a security cable. But you can always use your own locks and for using it in the city the rack doesn’t need any top of the line security features as such. In fact, when you think of a ‘standard’ bike rack you don’t really expect it to be hi-tech and overly reinforced.

In conclusion, the rack has everything you could expect of it. It is also sturdy and well- built and comes at a very agreeable price.
