Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Compatibility With Thule Access Swing Away & Kuat Pivot 2

Question:

Looking at the Kuat swing away adapter so we can get in and out of the back of our promaster easier. Is this Hollywood rack compatible with the Kuat?

Yes, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack, # HR1400Z, can be used with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVD20B. The sport rider can carry up to 4 bikes at 50 lbs. per bike. As a 4 bike rack this weighs approximately 91 lbs. and 54 lbs. configured as a two bike rack.

The Kuat Pivot 2 can carry up to a 4 bike rack, and has a capacity of 250 lbs. It's designed to work with 2" hitches, such as what is on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack, # HR1400Z. The Pivot 2 can not be used with bike racks that have an 1 1/4" with an adapter.

There are 2 different versions of the Kuat Pivot 2, one will swing to the driver's side # PVD20B, and one that swings to the passenger side # PVP20B. Both have the same features and weight capacities, so the only difference is which direction it swings out.
