  • Well the obvious benefits of a hitch mount bike rack is that you wont get wind resistance and hence increase gas consumption when transporting your bikes.

That bikes fit neatly onto the back of the car, are protected from rocks, bugs and UFO’s when driving. (Ever noticed the bumper of your car after a long drive – imagine your bike looking like that?!)

Another selling point of the hitch mount bike rack is that it’s easy to get your bikes on and off the car.

  • You don’t have to take any of the wheels off.
  • It’s easy to assemble and use.
  • Some people recommend getting a locking hitch pin so you don’t need wrenches to attach and detach the hitch mount bike rack from receiver and to make it more secure.
  • There is also the option of using straps to stabilize it to the roof rack for that extra bit of stability but it isn’t necessary.
