Never Needlessly Remove Bikes From Your Carrier Again
Heininger's Advantage glideAWAY deluxe 4 bike carrier eliminates the agony and irritation often experienced with other rear mounted carriers of having to take your bikes off every time you want access to your vehicle from the back. Designed to hold up to four bicycles with 1-2" top frame tubes, the ingenuous accordion style folding arm construction of the Advantage glideAWAY allows it to be pulled away from your vehicle with the simple lifting of the handle of its spring loaded safety latch, located behind its main upright support post. This instant 23" of additional space gives you easy, convenient access to the cargo area of your vehicle anytime you need it. When you are finished with cargo the Advantage glideAWAY pops easily back into a secure locked position just by pushing it back towards the hitch receiver and allowing the latch to snap back into place. The glideAWAY bike carrier also glides from side to side accommodating vehicles with rear side opening doors and allowing for more space around the hatch of your vehicle when you need it.
Direct support and securing of bikes is provided by two oversized heavy-duty bike arm tubes holding dual heavy-duty non-scratch plastic saddle clasps. Arm tubing are removable when not in use, meaning that you can leave the rack in place at all times. Saddles can also conveniently swivel around the tubing to accept women's, BMX, and complex geometry frames. The Advantage glideAWAY features a corrosion-resistant powder coat finish that ensures a long life and is available for both 1.25" and 2" hitch receivers.
Anti-Wobble Device Included
The Advantage SportsRack glideAWAY Bike Carrier includes an anti-wobble device to insure a secure tight fit to your receiver hitch in all occasions. Based around a heavy-duty plastic receiver hitch tube insert and screw design, the anti-wobble device prevents rattling while your vehicle is in motion. Additional stability/security can be added via the Heininger Advantage 72" lockable cable included (lock sold separately).
