Heininger Automotive 2025 Advantage SportsRack BedRack Bike Carrier, Black

Estuve mucho tiempo buscando un rack para la cama de mi pickup, prácticamente no hay opciónes, solo las "cobijas" de la tapa y las versiones montadas en el chasis. Este es buenísimo por que puedes colocar hasta 4 bicis y queda muy firme en la caja. Por el precio esta regalado.

Very pleased with this purchase. This is a strong frame and should work well in transporting our two bikes in the back of our F150. Easy to assemble, instructions were reasonable. Overall a good product for the sale price.

I read the other reviews and I agree with just about all of them. I needed a rack for my F-250's bed so I can take our bikes on vacation. I wanted them upright and didn't like the hitch carrier we use on our car and I needed something that was easily removeable. When it came in, I found the instructions were a little vague on the lack of a third full size spacer for the rack. The rack seemed adjustable, but I couldn't figure it out. I called Heininger and they were very helpful and all I had to do was "coax" the middle uprights together on the back frame a little with a rubber mallet to get the front together to lock it in place. Heininger was right, the additional spacer is not needed, the instructions were a little lacking on this info though. The rack doesn't seem adjustable with the full size spacers right out of the box, but it is. You will need a strap to keep the bikes upright as they will move some driving, but as another reviewer posted, it's no big deal. Take your time mounting it and make sure it hits the bed with the rubber feet well. It's a little tough on my Ford with the curves on the bed at the bottom, but it works. Overall, I like it a lot, it fits the need I had. The fact it is removeable, easy to put together (with the above exception), and has the the security cable to lock everything to the truck is great. And the fact Heininger was so helpful when I called is a big plus too.

For being "universal" they did the best they could with the installation. It is pretty much easy on, but if someone wants to steal it...easy off. But I attached some anti-theft locking brackets to it so that it would be a challenge to get off. As far as the use...It works fine with my bikes (32" beach cruiser, 26" mountain bike and 2 20" bmx dirt bikes). It has a tire locking clamp that slides down to grip the tire and once engaged, the bikes are fairly stable. I still need to run a strap across the frame to solidify the tie down, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I follow the recommended method of loading the bikes with the rear wheel to the rack and there is a slight issue of the chain hitting the rack, but it doesn't get in the way. Once it hits, I clamp it in that position and done. My 32" beach cruiser, I have to go in front tire first because I have a long fender on the rear that I wouldn't dare put through the rack, but it ties down just fine. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. Makes my life just a little bit easier when it comes to transporting my bikes around.

Not a bad rig. It sets up and goes in the truck easy enough. You have to make sure you set your bike gears so the derailed on the back tire is furthest away from the wheel - then it doesn't hit the bar of the rack. If you put the back tire in the rack, like your supposed to, then the front tire of the bike can sway and turn. Your bikes will definitely be touching/rubbing each other at the handle bars. If you run a strap through your front tire and around your bike frame, it helps. Fast to load and unload and the bikes don't seem like they are going to come out of it - just wish it had something to keep the whole bike in line/more stable. You do lose most of your truck box though. It's a pretty good rack for the price.
