You're not gonna talk about the fact that the swing arm release switch is on the inside, so it rubs on the fork constantly when in transit? Not great if you have a high end bike. They could've simply but it in on the other side. Also, what about the MAJOR design flaw? The cable lock isn't actually long enough to go around a bike frame!!!! It only goes through the fork. Not hard to steal the bike in under 60 seconds! Why did they just not make it a bit longer!?
Thanks for the review. Not too many Aussie reviews around however how does this product address the following: 1. Placement of Aux number plate both in the down and stowed positions. 2. Will the bike obscure the rear/brake/indicator lights? Is there a light bar? 3. How does this product perform with dual suspension bikes where there’s a chance the bike can bounce under the arm or the arm put unwanted pressures on the suspension? 4. Is suitable for thin road tyres and fatboy tyres? Tia
You cannot hold a 14 inch bike in this, even 16 inch bike(my bike) Because pivot arm is not long enough to support 16 inch tire. Minimum size I manage to fit was 20 inch.
Great video. Just watched it as a refresher, as I haven't used my rack in ages. Totally forgot about the lock! Thanks!

This hitch has no locking mechanism attached to the hitch and car?
This work with fat tires ?
will this accommodate 27.5 plus 3" tyres
IMRB no...I havnt personally tried but the tray only holds 2.5" tires
Cable not long enough to go around frame ! You put it around a fork
