Comparing Hollywood Racks HR100R & Swagman XC S64650EX Hitch Bike Racks  

Question:

I have a 2014 Toyota Sienna van and want to transport a Giant Revive recumbent bike and a Sun step through bike. Will either of the two racks Hollywood HR100R or Swagman XC work for this situation? Are there any major differences between the two racks?

Expert Reply:

The main practical differences between the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider 2 # HR1000Z-R and the Swagman XC-Extended Platform Rack # S64650-EXT are the maximum bike wheelbase that will fit (74-inches for the Sport Rider versus 66-inches) and the bike weight capacity (45-lbs for the Sport Rider 2 versus only 35-lbs for the Swagman). Another feature that favors the Sport Rider 2 is the 5-inches of rise on the rack's shank; this means better ground clearance with less chance of the rack scraping on a driveway entrance, for example.

All things considered the Sport Rider wins the face-off, even at its slightly higher price. You can add lock kit # HRLHPTC if you like to lock both the rack itself and your loaded bikes.
