Hollywood racks sport rider SE HR1400 4-bike platform hitch rack (2-inch receiver)
Why this rack works for you
If carting bikes about is part of your routine, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE HR1400 takes the hassle out of it. This sturdy 4-bike platform rack fits a 2-inch receiver and carries your bikes without touching the paintwork. It’s built around sensible, dependable features that mean less faff when loading up and more time actually riding.
Key features and benefits
- Secure fit: the patented “No Wobble – No Tools” hitch tightening system cuts out unwanted movement and keeps the rack steady on the road.
- Locking security: comes with a keyed-alike hitch pin, locking frame hooks and an 8′ security cable (~2.4 m) to deter theft and reduce rack sway.
- Space and compatibility: carries four bikes, up to 50 lb (22.7 kg) per bike; maximum wheelbase 60″ (a 72″ long-wheelbase kit is available separately); maximum tyre width 3″.
- Practical handling: the rack folds flat for neat storage and tilts down for easy boot access, so you won’t have to lift bikes off or remove the rack just to reach the boot.
- Built to last: robust steel construction finished to cope with real‑world weather and regular use.
Specifications
Weight: approx 85 lb (38.6 kg). Hitch size: 2″ only (do not use a 1¼”-to-2″ adapter). Load limit: 50 lb per bike. Max wheelbase: 60″ (72″ kit available separately). Max tyre width: 3″. Includes keyed hitch pin and 8′ security cable (~2.4 m).
Common questions answered
- Can this go on a 1¼” receiver? No — it’s designed for 2″ receivers only and using an adapter isn’t recommended.
- Will it fit fat-tyred bikes? Tyres must be 3″ or less; anything wider will need a different carrier.
- Is it safe on trailers or towed vehicles? No — don’t use it on trailers, fifth wheels or towed vehicles. Low‑frequency side‑to‑side motion from towing can fatigue the rack’s steel.
Typical use cases
- Family days out with four bikes – quick to load, locks included, so no faff at the car park.
- Weekend bikepacking – tilt the rack for boot access while it’s still loaded, handy when you’re packing gear.
- Storage between rides – folds flat to save space in the garage or on the drive.
Final notes
This rack is a solid, no‑nonsense way to carry up to four bikes on a 2″ hitch. It’s ideal for families, regular riders and anyone after a platform rack that’s quick to install and behaves itself on the road. If you’re unsure about wheelbase or tyre width, have a quick measure of your bikes first — long‑wheelbase kits are available separately for longer frames.
