Stromberg Carlson BC-202BA 2-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Foldable Bike Rack with Bumper Adapter for 2" Hitch or RV Bumper

Nice bike rack. Holds my bike securely. Very sturdy and dosent move around after I put on hitch stabalizers. A must have item to take up the slop in the hitch. Easy to fold up by lostening the knobs then retighten. Everything is easily adjusted for most bikes. I used the bumper mount on my RV (not shown). That also is very sturdy. May add photos later. It's very important to tighten all the hand knobs when traveling or they could fall off with just road vibration. Also remove battery pack during transport for product weight limits. Especially for two e-bikes. It is also handy to mark the location of the tire wells on the bar for easy re-use after folding.

I am used to Thule and Yakima racks so this rack is no where near as refined, but it’s RV rated and the bikes don’t sit as high as other folding racks so why not try it. I am using this as a front bike rack on 2002 Suburban since I tow an Aliner camper that has a weak rear bumper that cannot support a bike rack and I also didn’t want to mount the bikes on the roof due to terribly diminished gas mileage so I was on a hunt for a rack that has the bike mounts level with the hitch so it doesn’t obstruct my view. This rack and the Swagman XC2 traveler checked all the boxes but this one was $70 cheaper so I thought I’d try this rack. I havnt travelled with it yet but I will update this review if needed once I hit the road and anything changes.

This is an awesome bike rack. Very sturdy. I have one similar that costs twice as much and in no where near the build quality of this one. It comes with the RV bumper reciever but will fit any 2" hitch. Also the RV reciever has a anti sway bolt. Above and beyond expectations!

We bought this bike rack to install on the back of our rv. We received it in the time specified. It was missing one vital piece which was needed to attach it to the rv bumper. We contacted the seller and asked them to rush the piece as we were leaving on vacation and planned to take our bikes. They responded and asked us to take pictures of the box the rack came in and all the pieces that came in the box. Long story short, we did as asked and were told they are processing our request. Unfortunately we weren’t going to receive it in time so we had to pay $30 to have a machine shop create the part for us. We are on the road with our bike rack but without the part that should have been in the box. The rack is nice and sturdy and perfect for hauling two bikes. If not for the missing part we would be very pleased.

I assembled and installed this in less than thirty minutes during winter weather, and transported a mountain bike from Wisconsin to Texas and back. I found the device to be both sturdy and also incorporate useful functionality. For example, I like the ability to fold up the sides when no bike is being transported. It was also strong enough for me to stand on (on one side or the other) when I needed to step up.

This product has a well made steel frame , assembly is straight forward, just some basic tools needed. It's main advantage is the length of protrusion when mounted on the bumper. No extensions required unlike many competitors, giving enough room to avoid handle bars hitting R.V. skin, even comes with receiver for R.V. bumper. Keyed locks included to secure bikes from theft.

It fits our electric and manual bikes nicely.

The vertical clap mechanism is sturdy. Initial impression is it is well built. Negative on this is that the wheel holders do night tighten enough to stay horizontal and sag. I stripped one of the twist handles trying to tighten it enough. This was the only RV approved rack I could find and bikes stayed on after some bumpy roads. It also has an eyelet to run a lock through at the to of the vertical bar. I run an extra cable through for added safety just in case the vertical clamp fails. We transport two 5k mountain bikes on this and I feel confident the rack is up to the task.
