Bike Rack Solution that Allows Rear Cargo Area Access with Bikes Loaded
Question:
can the tilt function be used when a bike is attached?

Expert Reply:
We do have bike rack solutions that allow for rear cargo area access with bikes loaded. The best option would be a bike rack that swings out and away from the rear of the vehicle with bikes loaded like the SportRack Ridge Swing part # SR2415. I attached a picture this rack with it swung out with bikes loaded as well as a review video link for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
