PENTICTON, British Columbia (BRAIN) — Swagman’s new Chinook hitch-mount rack was designed for durability, light weight (35 pounds) and ease of use at an attractive price point.
The Chinook is targeted at both new cyclists and seasoned riders who are going to use a rack often but want it to be uncomplicated to take off or put on their vehicle, according to Swagman sales director Dave Michael.
A tilt-down feature allows access to the rear of the vehicle even when bikes are loaded, and the adjustable locking ratcheting hook secures bikes by the frame. The Chinook is finished with a powder coat formulated exclusively for Swagman to stand up to all weather conditions, and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Compatible with 1¼- and 2-inch receivers, the two-bike rack retails for $270.
