MAXXHAUL Hitch-Mount 2-Bike Rack for Cars & SUVs — Fits 1-1/4" & 2" Hitches, 100 lb Capacity, Anti-Rattle

The MAXXHAUL 50025 is a heavy-duty hitch-mounted bike rack that carries two bikes securely on 1-1/4" or 2" receivers with a 100 lb total capacity.

This compact two-bike carrier installs in minutes and is engineered to reduce wobble while transporting your bicycles on cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans. Built from all-steel components, it combines a universal hitch adapter with rubber cradles and buckle straps to hold most horizontal-top-tube frames steady during road travel. Simple adjustments and a built-in locking knob help keep the upright stable and make loading fast for weekend rides or errands.

Will this rack fit my vehicle’s hitch receiver?

The 50025 ships with an integrated adapter that allows installation into both 1-1/4" and 2" receivers, covering most Class I–IV hitches. Check your vehicle’s receiver size before purchasing and use the included adapter to match the opening.

• Works with 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers
• Compatible with Class I, II, III and IV hitches
• All-steel adapter for long-term strength
• Quick slide-in installation for most passenger vehicles

How many bikes and what weight can it handle?

This rack is designed to carry two bicycles up to a combined weight of 100 lb, with a per-bike limit of 50 lb. It’s suitable for most adult road and mountain bikes that have a horizontal top tube; some step-through or full-suspension frames may require an adapter bar to sit correctly.

• Rated capacity: 100 lb total, 50 lb per bike
• Holds two bikes on separate support arms
• Best for frames with a horizontal top bar; adapter bar may be needed for other frames (not included)
• Rubber cradles and buckle straps prevent shifting in transit

How secure and stable are bikes during transport?

Stability is improved by the rack’s built-in locking knob that tightens the main upright, reducing movement between the rack and vehicle. Rubber cradles cushion frames and buckle straps lock bikes in place to limit sway and contact between bikes.

• Locking knob reduces wobble at the upright connection
• Rubber cradles protect paint and absorb vibration
• Buckle-type straps secure wheels or frames quickly
• Steel construction resists bending and fatigue under load

Can I use this rack on an RV, trailer, or fifth-wheel?

Using this style of hitch rack on RVs, trailers or fifth-wheels is not recommended because of greater distance between bumper and axle and increased bouncing. If you must mount on a towable, additional tie-downs and straps are essential to reduce movement and stress on bikes and the rack.

• Not advised for RVs, trailers or fifth-wheels due to extra sway
• If used, supplement with extra tie-downs and straps
• Expect different handling dynamics compared with cars/SUVs

Who is this for: The MAXXHAUL 50025 is aimed at riders who want a straightforward, durable two-bike carrier for everyday use — commuters, weekend cyclists, and families with standard-frame bicycles. Choose this rack if you need a robust steel design that fits common hitch sizes, secures two bikes quickly, and balances affordability with dependable on-road performance.
