Advantage Glideaway2 Deluxe 4 Bike Rack Carrier
The design allows for the bikes to remain on the rack while loading and unloading your gear or groceries in the rear cargo area of an SUV or bed of a pick-up. This patented product allows you to swing the rack out and away up to 23" giving you plenty of room to access the rear of the vehicle. Simply and easily load 1, 2, 3 or 4 bikes on the glideAWAY2 in the Advantage® saddles with extra-long straps that hold the bikes securely without scratching the bikes finish. The rear mount design eliminates overhead lifting and increases fuel economy when compared to roof-mounted bike racks.
Made of heavy-duty steel construction and weighing 50 lbs. the corrosion-resistant black powder-coated finish ensures a long life. The folding carrying arms simply rotate out of the way when rack is not in use and the glideAWAY2 bike rack holds up to 150 lbs. The glideAWAY2 fits both 2" and 1.25" receiver hitches.

Disclaimer: Do NOT install any hitch mounted bicycle or cargo carrier on a trailer or other towed vehicle. Apply caution to mounting a carrier on some motorhomes with a long distance between the rear axle and the tail-end of the coach. Bike and cargo carriers will increase the overall length of the vehicle. Use greater caution when backing up.

Customer Reviews
If I could tilt my rack back when not using, so I can open the trunk without needing to undo the extension
Good trailer hitch bike rack that's easy to swing away from the truck. Seems very sturdy.
We have a camper with a back door and found it difficult to get in and out with typical bike racks or other trailer products. After much research I found this swing away bike rack that holds 4 bikes, is easy to unlock so that it moves 23 inches away from the door and swings both right and left so you can enter or exit the camper with the rack and bikes in place. It is sturdy, easy to attach (you need a hitch), and easy to put the bikes on the rack. Love it!
Great bike rack for hatchback SUV's. We've used this on many trips the past couple years and it's much easier to use than the old one we had that swung off to the side. The weight stays pretty well distributed with this one even loaded with four bikes and extended out the full length. The only drawback at all is you need a long cable lock and some creativity to lock up the bikes. I'm not counting that against this bike rack though since I knew it didn't have an integrated locking system when I purchased it and we have managed very well without one.
Great rack. Very solid. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is because of the weight. You can put it on and take it off by yourself, but it is a lot easier with two people. The feature that allows it to move away from the vehicle so you can open a tailgate is wonderful to have. Again easier with two people so one can give the rack a little upward pressure while the other unscrews the big handle. (this is only when the rack is loaded)
What size hitch do I need for a hitch mounted bike rack?
Most hitch bike racks fit 2-inch hitches, while some are designed for 1.25-inch hitches. Always check your vehicle’s hitch receiver size before purchasing. Heininger offers racks compatible with both standard sizes.
How many bikes can a hitch mounted bike rack carry?
Depending on the model, hitch racks can carry 2 to 4 bikes. Heininger’s options include 2-bike, 3-bike, and 4-bike racks, perfect for families and group rides.
Will a hitch bike rack work with an SUV, truck, or minivan?
Yes. Hitch-mounted racks are compatible with most SUVs, trucks, vans, and even sedans with the proper hitch receiver. Heininger racks are designed for universal fit with common Class II–IV hitches.
Are hitch mounted bike racks safe for e-bikes?
Yes, but not all racks. E-bikes are heavier than standard bikes. Heininger offers platform-style racks with higher weight capacity and even loading ramps, making them perfect for e-bikes.
Can I open my trunk or tailgate with a hitch bike rack attached?
Many Heininger racks feature a tilt-away design, allowing you to lower the rack and access your trunk or tailgate without removing the bikes.
Do I need tools to install a hitch bike rack?
Most Heininger racks offer a tool-free, quick installation. They slide directly into your hitch receiver and secure with a pin or lock.
How do I protect my bikes from theft on a hitch rack?
Heininger racks support locking hitch pins and cable locks, ensuring both your rack and bikes stay secure during travel.
Will a hitch mounted bike rack scratch my car?
No, when properly installed, hitch racks keep bikes away from your vehicle’s paint. Platform racks provide the most stable, no-contact loading for extra protection.
What’s the difference between hanging and platform hitch racks?
Hanging racks hold bikes by the frame, are lighter, and more affordable.
Platform racks hold bikes by the wheels, offer better stability, and are recommended for e-bikes and carbon frames.
Heininger offers both styles.
Do hitch bike racks fit kids’ bikes, fat-tire bikes, or women’s frames?
Yes. Heininger racks are designed with adjustable cradles and wheel holders to fit a variety of frame shapes, 20-inch kids’ bikes, fat-tire bikes up to 5 inches wide, and step-through women’s frames.
How fast can I drive with a hitch mounted bike rack?
It’s generally recommended to drive under 70 mph when carrying bikes. Always check your rack’s manual. Heininger racks are built for highway stability.
Can I use a hitch bike rack without a hitch receiver?
No. A hitch receiver is required. However, you can have one installed on almost any vehicle. Once installed, you can use your Heininger hitch rack immediately.
