Carry two bikes on your RV, SUV, or truck with the Husky Towing 81146 -- a no-nonsense, heavy-duty steel hitch-mount bike carrier built for standard 2-inch receivers. A built-in swivel point lets you pivot the entire rack out of the way so you can still open your rear door or trunk without unloading your bikes first.
The 81146 slots directly into any standard 2-inch receiver hitch -- the same hitch you already use to tow. No trunk straps to scratch your paint, no roof loading required. Frame-clamp arms grip each bike's frame securely, and the entire rack is built from heavy-duty steel with a powder-coated finish that resists rust and road grime over years of use.
The swivel feature is especially practical for RVers and SUV owners: rather than fully removing loaded bikes to access your rear cargo area, you simply rotate the rack to the side. That saves real time at the campground when you're grabbing gear after a ride.
Inserts directly into any 2-inch receiver hitch on an RV, SUV, truck, or van. No adapters needed for the most common hitch class.
Rack pivots at the shank so you can open your rear door or access trunk cargo without unloading bikes first.
Adjustable frame-clamp arms hold each bike securely at the frame. Accommodates a range of bicycle frame styles and sizes.
Heavy-duty metal construction with a powder-coated finish resists corrosion from weather, road spray, and everyday outdoor exposure.
The 81146 is a practical choice for:
Most fixed hitch racks require you to remove the bikes to open your rear door. The 81146's swivel arm means you can grab your camp chairs, cooler, or gear bags without touching the bikes -- a small feature that makes a noticeable difference on every trip.
Each bike sits in a padded frame-clamp cradle. The clamps grip the top tube or main frame tube of the bicycle, which is a common and secure hold style for standard diamond-frame bikes. This design does not rely on wheel wells or wheel straps alone -- the frame contact point bears the load and keeps bikes from rocking during transit.
Frame-clamp designs work best with traditional diamond-frame bicycles (road, mountain, hybrid). Non-standard frames -- step-through, full-suspension with unusual top tubes, or very heavy e-bikes -- may require an adapter bar or may not be compatible. Total rack capacity is 60 lbs across both bikes combined.
Installation requires no tools beyond what's needed to secure the rack's anti-rattle bolt into your receiver. Steps are straightforward:
The 81146 does not include a hitch lock or bike cable lock. To secure the rack to the receiver and to lock your bikes to the rack, you will need to purchase locks separately. A standard 5/8-inch hitch lock pin fits the receiver shank.
