So, gear up and explore the world with confidence, knowing that we've got the right bike rack solution for you.
Types of Bike Mounts and Racks
Hitch Rack – Tray Style
Easiest to load and stow.
Vertical Hitch Rack
Can carry up to 6 mountain bikes.
Hitch Rack - Mast Style
Can carry up to 5 bikes.
Trunk Rack
Easy to store when not in use.
Roof Mount
Low profile, keeps hitch receiver open.
The Two Main Carry Options:
REAR OF CAR
Easy to load and stable with their hold, hitch-mount bike racks let you load your bikes without lifting them overhead or removing a wheel. They require a rear tow hitch, and you’ll need to ensure your hitch size is compatible with the rack you select.
TOP OF CAR
Roof mounted bike racks keep your bikes out of the way, allowing free access to your vehicle’s trunk area and keeping a compact footprint when parking. They require a crossbar system, which also allows for additional rack options—like a cargo box or other sport-specific mounts.

Hitting the Road, Family Style
Hitch Mast
Simple to install and load, the BackRoad is an inexpensive hitch mast option that delivers the goods for family weekends on two wheels. The BackRoad lets you load up more bikes, with less hassle, thanks to its 2-Bike and 4-Bike options.
Sometimes the best approach is to get vertical. The HangOver vertical hitch mountain bike rack is the go-to option for shuttle runs and buddy rides. So many bikes, so little worry.
Roof mounted racks hold bikes securely by the front wheel or fork, avoiding potential frame damage. Easily adjustable to accommodate different wheel sizes, they’re ideal for riders with a range of bikes.

Mountain Bike Racks
Modern mountain bikes require support somewhere other than the top tube—either at the fork crown via a Vertical rack, or at the wheels with a Tray style.
No matter what style of road bike you have—or if you have more than one—we have a rack that will work. Both roof mounted and hitch tray style bike racks deliver safety and security for your ride, and offer you a choice of carrying your bike via the frame, fork or the front wheel.
From National Park road trips to bike-friendly weekends, hitch mast styles are a solid value. Safe, secure, and with the ability to carry multiple bikes (up to 5 on certain models), they are a go-to for families seeking an easy loading, durable option.
Portable and versatile, trunk racks are a great option for occasional use. Easy to switch between different vehicles, they are also typically less expensive.
Trucks can carry a lot of stuff! Adding a secure bike rack option to transport your bike just ups the ante on fun, helping turn your pick-up bed into a multi-sport tool.
