RockyMounts BackStage 2" Receiver Swing Away platform hitch 2 bicycle rack. Allows full access to the rear of the vehicle with bikes on or off the rack.

This is solid, well built, and super easy to load and operate. The bike rack fits our 2 Lectric Lites on the back of our Promaster Class B Camper Van perfectly while still allowing access to the rear doors.

This is sturdy. American built and it shows. Clear assembly instructions in my native language (English), and with pictures. Holds our 2 electric bikes and swings completely out of the way of our transit van back doors

I've been using this backstage rack for over 7 months now. I've traveled all over the country and on some forest roads. It held up like a champ with no swing or sway. I did add a hitch tightener for extra insurance. I do wish that Rockymounts had a single bike option with the Backstage. I only carry one bike and it would be nice to have a rack that didn't stick out as much.

I just received the rack and finished assembly, when checking the swing to make sure it clears the side of my truck the second pivot point right under the tray did not swing leeding me to think it would not clear the truck as advertised. How ever it seems I over tightened the pivot bolt binding the pivot. Once I corrected the tension on the bolt it works like a charm. All the parts fit nicely and seem to be of good quality. I have not had it out on the road yet but the bike feels solid on the mount.

I was so tired of not being able to get in and out of the back of my 4Runner when my old rack was mounted and even more so if my bike was mounted. This is exactly what I was looking for. Quality seems legit. PERFECT!!

It works well enough, in terms of the swing function, and storing and loading bicycles. Have used for mountain bikes and road bikes.I just wish it wasn't so heavy; it's difficult to move, take on an off the vehicle and just difficult to move around. I know that a rack must be firm and strong but it just seems they could've lightened the rack by either using lighter metal, perforating some of the metal pieces or designed the rack to be work well but to be lighter.I do like the generic lock system, in which you use the same key to lock the rack to the vehicle as is used for a cable lock to secure bikes to the rack.I've driven with this rack in fairly extreme off road (4 x 4) conditions with 2 heavy mountain bikes attached and had no problems so far.Further, when you put the bike rack on the vehicle or remove it's in a really awkward position (low to the ground) so it's weight makes it worse to move, carry and manipulate. I hate to say it but I usually need a second person to help me move the rack and I'm a fairly large and strong person.

Unboxed and setup the RockyMounts Backstage rack tonight. The rack was well packaged and arrived unscathed via UPS. I will be using this with a 2002 Chevy 1500 HD and a 2017 KIA Sorento. For the inital setup, I fitted it to the KIA.Setup was a breeze. The majority of the rack comes pre-assembled and it only took about 30 minutes to get through the entire process (I did watch several videos on setting it up and operating it so I was well prepared once it arrived.)It fits well on the KIA and unlike others, I can roll into and out of my garage with the bikes loaded on the rack. However, even with the anti-wobble pin installed the rack did seem to want to wobble back and forth a bit. I don't think this will be an issue, though. I don't plan to use the swing away feature when fitted to the KIA because the hatch clears the bikes when the rack is tilted down. I will be using that feature when fitted to the truck, however.The RM website specs this rack to be used with bikes up to 49" long. My Scott Genius 920 (29er) is 48" long and you can see in one the photos how far it hangs off the wheel cup. The front wheel is stopped with an integrated wheel stop so it can't go any further off.While I was waiting for the rack to arrive, I almost bought a set of the metal locks instead of the plastic ones this rack ships with. I was pleasantly surprised to see the more expensive metal locks included in the box already. I'm glad I didn't order the additional locks.This rack is big and heavy so plan on reserving a fairly large area in the garage for it. I'm waiting for RM to get the wall hanger back in stock so I can get it out of the way. For $20, they should include that as part of the package!Overall, this is a well-built, sturdy rack. I'm looking forward to years of use!UPDATE: I've been using this rack since August 2019 with no issues. Everything has held up well including the straps and the hook/trigger for the front wheel. Don't be mislead by the top negative review from the guy dropped his bike because the hook/trigger didn't secure the front wheel. This rack is NOT designed for bikes with front fenders and his pictures clearly show metal front fenders on his damaged e-bike.On a side note, I'm considering converting it to a non-swing away rack by replacing the base. RockyMounts customer service confirmed it's doable using either MonoRail or SplitRail LS bases. I just haven't used the swing away option as much as I thought I would.

Product appears heavy duty and well constructed. Instructions could use a bit more clarity
