Comparing the Lets Go Aero BikeWing T4 and Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4

Question:

I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander with a 2” factory hitch. I want a four bike rack that I can easily install and remove as I anticipate only installing when I want to haul my bike. I will usually be hauling one step thru bike, however sometimes four, including kids bikes. I will mostly be hauling short distances. I’ve looked at a lot of options and feel a bit overwhelmed. Can you reccommend one???

I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 part # HR1400Z is an excellent option for your 2008 Toyota Highlander. The Sport Rider is heavy duty and weighs in at 81 lbs. However, you can remove the bike rack in two pieces to make it easier to handle.

To use the Sport Rider with non-standard shapes of bikes, like your step-thru, you will need adapters such as part # HRSW-ADP-2 and part # HRBA-PRO. These are not always required.

The Sport Rider is stable and will be be easy to load the bikes up on, and it also comes with locks so you do not need to purchase them separately.
