Inno Racks has just released a 3 bike hitch rack version of the Inno INH301 Aero Light 4 bike hitch rack and Inno INH302 Aero Light 2 bike hitch rack. Called the INH303 Inno Aero Light hitch bike rack, it offers all the exact same features and ease of use as the INH 301 and INH 302 models. Built with highest-quality, super strong and lightweight aluminum materials, the INH303 Aero Light is a cinch to lift, carry and mount to the trailer hitch receiver. The included universal trailer hitch adapter also enables the rack to connect to both 1.25 inch and 2 inch trailer hitches. Unique to the Aero Light models is the innovative foot pedal quick-release that allows the entire hitch bike rack, even with all bikes loaded, to lower down and out of the way for total access to the rear of the automobile. Also includes a hitch pin lock to lock the Aero Light to the trailer hitch receiver, and the included cable bike lock ensures all bicycles are locked to the carrier. Bikes are prevented from swinging around during transport via the no-sway cages that are integrated into the bike cradles. Holds all styles, shapes and sizes of bikes. Best of all, all these features and many more are included at a manufacturer’s special promotional discount price. The INH303 Inno Aero Light hitch bike rack is available at Inno Racks dealers in the United States and Canada.

Serving up a few more hitch bike racks in the traditional upright mast style (or hang and dangle as they are also known) of hitch mounted bike racks, the Saris Bike Rack Company now offers the Saris Bike Porter Hitch 4-Bike Rack (available in two models, the 604 includes hitch locks to secure the bikes to the carrier and the rack itself to the trailer hitch receiver; the 404 model is exactly the same but does not include the locking security system) and the Saris Bike Porter Hitch 2-Bike Rack (same as the 404 but carries 2 bikes instead of 4). Priced at a point to put them in the cheap hitch bike racks category, it’s still no surprise how Saris Racks manages to keep many high-end features normally found only on higher-priced models. Out of the box, all the Bike Porters are compatible with both 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches, absolutely no extra adapters needed! Other features include tilt down bike cradle arms and also fold down hitch bike rack technology for accessing the back of the car when no bikes are mounted on the bike rack. Proprietary bike cradles also feature extra padding and integrated grooves to protect the cable for the brakes and gear shifters. Qualifies for the Saris Racks lifetime warranty also.

Thule Racks has just begun shipping to dealers nationwide the brand new Thule T2 series of platform bike racks, replacing the previous models with a security upgrade that safeguards the bicycles from theft when loaded onto the bike rack and left unattended. The Thule 916XTR T2 hitch bike rack replaces the previous 916XT T2 model, while the Thule 917XTR T2 platform bike rack replaces the previous 917XT T2. The security upgrade features a new cable lock on the end of each SecureHook mechanism that clamps down and holds the front wheel in place on the bike tray. The former 916XT and 917XT models only had a lock on each SecureHook that locked the arm in place so no one could come along and raise up the SecureHook clamp arm. However, in certain situations, using certain model fat tire bicycles, some one could actually come along and let out the air in the tire and then muscle the bike wheel out from under the SecureHook clamp arm. The new cable locks on the Thule 916XTR T2 and the Thule 917XTR T2 hitch bike racks extend out from the end of each SecureHook and wrap around the actual bicycle frame to lock the bike to the rack. If you do have an older model 916XT or 917XT, you could simply use a regular bike cable lock on the bicycles and this would eliminate this issue as well. The 916XTR T2 fits 2 inch trailer hitches, while the Thule 917XTR T2 fits 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. Also available is the Thule 918XTR T2 2 Bike Add-On, which is an optional accessory for the 916XTR T2 model.  The 918XTR attaches to the end of 916XTR T2 and allows for the transport of an additional two bicycles.

The Yakima Swing Daddy hitch mounted bike rack for 4 bikes looks great installed in the 2″ receiver hitch on this 2004 Ford Escape.  As seen in the picture of this 2004 Ford Escape hitch bike rack, when you want easy access of the rear of the vehicle without needing to first remove all the bikes from the rack, a “swing away” rack is what you need.   The Yakima SwingDaddy bike rack, which works only with 2″ receivers, can carry up to four bikes safely and securely.  It comes with the Yakima Lock Down Security system which locks the rack to the receiver and locks the bikes to the rack.

2005 Toyota Quad Cab pickup truck rack for carrying a canoe. Using the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack System on the cab roof and hitch t-mast on the rear trailer hitch for transporting the canoe.

Harnessing the power of a 2005 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck canoe rack to transport a full length canoe is executed efficiently with the Yakima Q Tower complete roof rack system using Yakima Q127 clips and Yakima Q128 clips (Q clips specific to this vehicle) and a Hitch Rack T-Mast to hold up the end of the canoe.  We couldn’t zoom in enough to see what this 2005 Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck was using for a T-Mast hitch rack but if you ask me I’d tell you that the Yakima DryDock Hitch Canoe and Kayak Rack is the way to go. Don’t forget a 4 pack of Yakima locks and keys to lock the Q towers to the 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4 door cab top.
