Softride
Specializing in hitch-mounted bike racks, Softride has built itself around solving consumer bicycle towing problems since 1991. Two key products leading to Softride’s success are the Access Racks and the QuietRide. The Access Racks allow individuals to lower the bike rack parallel to the ground, enabling access to the rear of the vehicle.
While a tilting bike rack may not initially seem unique, the Access Racks’ parallelogram design lets it extend away from the vehicle without dumping the bikes still loaded on it! If you have already loaded your gear, but forgot to put something in back, you still have nearly complete access to the rear of your vehicle. Integrated into most of the hitch racks for SUVs is Softride’s QuietRide locking and tightening anti-rattle technology. It is the solution to eliminating the annoying clanking noise your hitch makes when towing something. Additionally, wheel straps are available to lock your bicycle’s front wheel in position while driving. When winter arrives and your bikes are not in use, you can store them with the garage storage station that accepts the removable arms from your hitch-mounted rack. Then, you can secure the ski rack attachment where the arms used to be on your rack. Whichever solution you need, Softride manufactures products that will provide you and your gear with a truly soft ride.
