The Sport Rider Special Edition platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry up to 4 bikes on the rear of your vehicle. This versatile rack is easy to use, and it features locking frame hooks and adjustable wheel trays so you can quickly load and unload your bikes. A locking hitch pin with an anti-rattle system tightens the rack s shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the receiver.

The Sport Rider SE consists of a two-bike base unit and a removable two-bike extension unit, allowing you to use the carrier as either a two- or four-bike rack. The 2 pieces make the rack easy to handle and install because you can slide the base into your hitch and secure it before adding the extension. A locking hitch pin with an anti-rattle system tightens the rack s shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the receiver.

Locking, Ratcheting Hooks

Constructed of rugged steel with a sleek black powder coat finish, the Sport Rider SE uses locking frame hooks to secure your bikes. The ratcheting hooks are easily adjusted along the vertical mast and lock securely in place. The push buttons allow the hooks to slide up the ratcheting system to allow for bike removal. The lock cores keep the hooks from being moved up or down on the mast to deter theft. The hooks are different sizes and each one functions independently, meaning the rack can carry 4 bikes of the same or different heights.

Adjustable Wheel Holders

The wheel holders accommodate bicycles with wheelbases up to 60 , and you can adjust the wheel hoops by sliding them along the horizontal arms. They are secured in place with hand knobs. Velcro-like hook-and-loop straps secure your bike s wheels to the holders.

If you want to carry a fat bike on the Sport Rider SE, you can replace the rack s wheel trays with specifically-designed fat bike cradles (HRSPRWH-F-HD – sold separately).

Folding, Tilting Design

The rack tilts, with or without bikes loaded, for easy access to your vehicle s rear cargo area. Simply remove the pivot pin, pull the bottom quick-release spring pin, and lower the rack.

The rack also folds up against the back of your vehicle when it s not in use. To raise the rack, just pull the upper quick-release spring pin and lift.

Easy Installation with Locking Hitch Pin

The Sport Rider SE easily installs in your hitch with the included locking hitch pin. Just slide the shank into your receiver and insert the hitch pin. The frame hook locks and the hitch locks are conveniently keyed alike.

An integrated anti-wobble handle on the front of the base unit tightens the rack s shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the receiver. You don t need to pull out a wrench every time you install the rack on your hitch – just turn the easy-to-access handle to keep the rack from rattling. A second lever secures the two-bike extension to the base of the rack.

The included 8 long cable attaches to the hitch pin to help secure 2 bikes to Sport Rider rack. The extension cable can be added to the 8 cable to help secure 4 bikes to the rack.

Add-On Adapters

If you want to carry both 2 bikes and extra gear, an add-on cargo basket (HR1485 – sold separately) is available.

If you want to use the rack to transport a kid s bike with 16 or 18 wheels, wheel hoop adapters (HRSW-ADP-2 – sold separately) are available.

If you want to transport one recumbent delta trike or one recumbent tadpole-style trike with the Sport Rider SE, you can use the HRTRK-ADP adapter (sold separately). Or if you want to transport one standard bike and either one recumbent delta trike, one recumbent tadpole-style trike, or one adult trike, then you can use the HRTRK-ADP-2 adapter (sold separately).

Note: The trike adapters can only be used with the Sport Rider SE s two-bike base unit.
