The Lolo Racks 4-Bike Vertical Rack is a hitch-mounted carrier for 2-inch receivers that hangs bikes by their front wheels instead of holding them by the frame. It fits wheel sizes from 10 to 29 inches and handles mountain, kids', BMX, fat and road bikes without extra adapters, which sets it apart from many vertical racks that need add-on parts for small or fat wheels. At about 60 pounds it is notably lighter than the 85–100 pound vertical racks it competes with, so it is easier to lift onto the hitch and store. It suits families and shuttle drivers hauling mixed bike fleets, though road bikes need attention to spacing between mounts.

This is a vertical-style hitch rack that carries four bikes on a 2" hitch. It holds mountain bikes, kids' bikes, BMX, fat bikes and road bikes without extra parts. It carries wheel sizes from 10" through 29", from skinny tires to the widest fat bike tires.
The rack is all steel with no plastic parts. It uses common hardware and is fully user-repairable. The receiver tube and pivot components are bright coated for corrosion resistance, and the frame has a Hammertone Grey powdercoat with a brushed nameplate. The handlebar holders are safe for carbon bars and don't crush the top tube. The bar and tire straps are locally made and warrantied against UV and water damage.
Hitch depth and upright angle are adjustable to match the vehicle. The rack can lean slightly toward the vehicle for better ground clearance and less bounce. It tilts part way to clear hatchbacks and truck tailgates, or lays flat to the ground to clear van doors. To tilt it, you manually pull a pin from the plates and then replace it. A Boss Swingout or Foot Activated Tilt upgrade can be added later, and an optional wall-hanging kit lets you store the rack with bikes on it.
