The Advantage SportsRack glideAWAY Elite four bike carrier is your all in one bike rack. The design allows for the bikes to remain on the rack while loading and unloading your gear or groceries in the rear cargo area of an SUV or truck. This patented product allows you to swing the rack out and away up to 23" giving you plenty of room to access the rear of the vehicle. Simply and easily load up to 4 bikes on the glideAWAY Elite. Included with your purchase of the glideAWAY Elite is a hitch lock and integrated bike/rack cable lock for extra security. The rear mount design eliminates overhead lifting and increases fuel economy when compared to roof-mounted bike racks. Made of heavy-duty steel construction and the corrosion-resistant black powder-coated finish ensures a long life. The folding carrying arms simply rotate out of the way when rack is not in use. The glideAWAY Elite bike rack holds up to 132 lbs. The glideAWAY Elite fits both 2" and 1.25" receiver hitches. NOT recommended for e-bikes.
The catalog photos and descriptions of this bike rack do not do the quality, construction, and overall aesthetics justice! I have owned a competitor company bike rack for 15 years and have been very happy with the same! It was time for a change and the unique glide-away feature of this rack was very appealing! I was not disappointed! Heavy duty and as simple to operate as turning a knob. The rack slides away with the bikes securely locked in place so rear hatch access can be made easily! An easy push, a turn of the knob, and your on your! Everything is included from the lock to the securing wrench. A snap to assemble and to install. As soon as the hitch is installed on my new vehicle we will be pedaling the sands of Coastal Carolina! Thank you Wayfair!. Michael. Sunset Beach, NC. Sun Sep 19 2021
