Bike Racks

It very difficult to find the perfect rack without having to compromise on one feature or the other – chances are you’ll take a while to find it. Sometimes, though, you come across a rack that has everything you could possibly need. For example, the Swagman 64600 2” Sleev 3 Bike Fold Down Hitch Rack.

Swagman is known to come up with innovative racks to satisfy a varied clientele. This particular rack is no different. It has the following features:

• A capacity for carrying up to 3 bikes at a time.
• A design made to fit 2 inch receivers.
• It fits over Class 3 draw bars.
• Requires no assembly.

The unique feature of this rack is that it can carry up to 3 bikes at a time along with your personal watercraft, boat or trailer. This is a feature you won’t find with many other racks. Also, the rack sleeve slides over the tow bar and does not affect your vehicle’s towing capacity at all. Hence, you need not worry about over-working your tow bar or towing too much of weight. It requires no assembly, so you can lift it straight out of the box without having to put any effort into the actual installation and set up. When you are not using it, the largest part is removable, so that you only have a small attachment on your hitch – this is very convenient for frequent usage.

The rack does have a few disadvantages in the way of security. While you can count on it to hold up and be secure, you may have to add a little security of your own. This is very simple and applicable to any rack that you feel lacks good security measures – all you have to do is use some extra straps or bungee cords to hold your bikes firmly in place. What this rack could really do with is an anti-sway device or such, because when you are towing multiple things (bikes, your boat/trailer/watercraft) you don’t really want them colliding or getting scratched. Also, without an anti-sway device bikes and just the hitch itself tend to sway a little. However, the security offered with the rack is enough – you just need to use the additional measures mentioned above if you’re going for a cross country trip and the like.

The best advantage you get with this bike rack is its adaptability. It is ideal for a family, because you can take it for trips, outings and weekends away. In that way, it allows you to accommodate everything you need – you can attach your bikes and have your trailer too! This rack is well-built and easy to use so that anyone and everyone can handle without effort. It is sturdy and ideal both in the short trips and long runs.

If you are looking for a bike rack especially for weekend getaways and vacations, this is perfect for you, because it is so adaptable. It is also perfect for you if you live by the beach where you would need to transport a watercraft often along with your bikes. In many ways, this rack is one of the best in the market.
