Why a Hitch Bike Rack is a Must for Your Next Adventure

Why a Hitch Bike Rack is a Must for Your Next Adventure

At CycleSimplex, we know how much freedom and joy a good ride brings—especially when you’re headed off the beaten path. Whether it’s a solo mountain trail run, a group weekend ride, or a relaxing cruise along the coast, your bike or trike deserves to travel safely and securely.

That’s where our hitch bike racks come in. Designed and manufactured right here in the USA, each CycleSimplex bike rack is built with simplicity, strength, and functionality in mind. If you’ve been hauling bikes with a roof rack or trying to make a standard carrier work, it’s time for an upgrade.

The Smarter Way to Carry Your Bike

Let’s be real—roof racks can be awkward and frustrating. And trunk-mounted carriers? Often unstable, tough to load, and a hassle if you need to open the back of your vehicle.

Our bike racks attach directly to your car’s hitch, offering a low-lift, high-stability solution. That means less time loading and more time riding. We’ve spent over 20 years refining our racks so they’re not only rock-solid but easy to use for cyclists of all ages.

Built Tough for All Riders

We’ve seen it all—trikes, tandem racks, e-bikes, recumbents, and classic road bikes. That’s why every CycleSimplex hitch bike rack is engineered with versatility in mind. Whether you’re hauling a heavy-duty e-trike or a lightweight racing bike, we’ve got a carrier that fits.

Our racks are crafted from durable, all-steel and aluminum materials and coated with powder paint to stand up to the elements. And with multiple configurations available, you can count on your CycleSimplex rack to handle different bike styles without skipping a beat.

Quick Setup, Easy Loading

No one wants to wrestle with a rack on a Saturday morning. That’s why our designs focus on fast, no-fuss installation. Most models slide into your receiver hitch and secure with a pin or bolt—no tools or complicated instructions required.

Need trunk access? Many of our racks tilt down or fold up when not in use, giving you flexibility on the go. Plus, wide platforms and simple tie-down points make loading your ride smooth and stress-free.

Travel with Confidence

Every CycleSimplex bike rack is built to keep your gear safe—no matter how far you’re going or what road you’re on. Our padded clamps and stable frame supports mean your bike or trike stays put, even on bumpy roads or long drives.

We understand how much your gear means to you, which is why security is always part of our design. With the right rack, you don’t have to worry about damage or shifting during travel.

Choosing the Right Rack for Your Ride

Not sure which model is right for you? We’ve got options tailored to your specific setup:

  • Racks that allow you to roll your trike or bike onto the rack so you don’t have to lift it
  • Tandem bike racks for long-frame stability
  • Trike racks for wide-base support
  • E-bike-compatible models for heavier loads
  • Custom options available for adaptive needs

No matter your ride, we’ll help you find a carrier that fits like a glove.

American-Made Quality You Can Trust

All of our racks are proudly made in the USA, and we stand behind every bracket, and bolt. We’ve been at this for more than two decades, and our mission has never changed: build smart, solid, and affordable bike and trike racks that riders can rely on.

Whether you’re a casual cruiser or a serious trailblazer, CycleSimplex is here to support your journey—literally.
