Quality product
Review by tyfighter
Needed a hitch mounted bike rack for my Honda Pilot because the roof is a little too high. Read a lot of reviews on the Ridgeback and liked what I was seeing so I took the plunge and bought the 5 bike version. Very easy to setup and load bikes if you have a 2" hitch. It has a lot of useful feat...read more -

The "weak link" is the hitch receiver part. I have had my rack for about 3 years now and...read more -

Because the ...read more -
Ridgeback 2
Review by Fisch
Tube tops or bike beams for womens' bikes do not work for Trek 7.3 on the Ridgeback 2.
The rear zip strip is not large enough or rather high enough to accommodate the seat and beam. -
Great hitch-mounted rack
Review by Spinner
Got into biking again after a long hiatus. Hitch racks have evolved nicely, especially the Ridgeback. Great features in the fold-out mast and arms. Easy to use, and keeps a low profile when not in use. Really like the "Zip Strips" as they are quick, easy, and very reliable. They are a...read more
