5 bike version reviewed
Review by Randy Posted on August 29, 2019
The rack works great and it very easy to use until you try to put more than three bikes on it. The main issue with it is that it cannot hold 5 bikes at all and even with 4 its pushing it. I just took a vacation to Maine with 4 bikes, both of my kids had brand new specialized bikes, I had a santa cru...read more -
Longer Strips
Review by colby Posted on April 28, 2019
Like many others commenting on here, I like the rack but two of my bikes will not fit on this due to the Zip Straps being too short. Please make longer straps available, and I'll change my value rating. As is having to buy two more bikes to keep the same brand after car got hit is a pretty low value...read more -
Quality product
Review by tyfighter Posted on February 9, 2018
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 -
Takes mc iver but like him success!
Review by Factory Pilot Posted on August 8, 2017
I have had a cradle mount hitch rack for years and it was time to see what improvements have been made to bike transportation....what a surprise! I put two Electra townie's ,men/women's on the arms and had stuff looking very strange as the bikes were not hanging level. Long and short of it I had to ...read more -
Ridgeback 5
Review by Carl Posted on July 10, 2017
I have generally been very happy with this rack - overall it is quite sturdy, easy to use, and very flexible. I am not aware of many other vendors producing a 5 bike rack for hitch receiver install. The "weak link" is the hitch receiver part. I have had my rack for about 3 years now and...read more -
24 inch MTB doesn't fit
Review by Mark Posted on July 3, 2017
It seems like a rack built for 4 bikes would take kids' bike frames into consideration. The Ridgeback 4, even using a TubeTop, I could not get a 24" mountain bike onto the rack because the cradles are so bulky there is not enough space where the angled top tube meets the down tube. Because the ...read more -
Ridgeback 2
Review by Fisch Posted on May 25, 2017
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 Posted on March 30, 2017
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
