As a road cyclist, I’m picky about bike racks — lightweight frames, carbon tubes, and precise fits don’t leave much room for compromise. The Hollywood Racks CrossTrack 2 Bike Hitch Rack has exceeded my expectations in every way.
What really sets this rack apart is the wheel-only contact design. There’s zero frame contact, which means no stress on carbon tubing, no rubbing, and no anxiety about paint or decals getting damaged. I can load my road bike knowing it’s fully supported by the wheels and securely held in place — exactly how it should be.
Loading and unloading is fast and intuitive, even solo. The trays easily accommodate modern road bikes with longer wheelbases, and the adjustable wheel hoops make it simple to dial in a perfect fit. Once mounted, the bike feels rock-solid with no sway or movement, even at highway speeds. The hitch’s anti-wobble system does an excellent job keeping everything tight and quiet.
I also appreciate how practical the rack is day to day. The tilt feature allows trunk access without removing the bike — a small detail that makes a big difference on long rides or race days. When not in use, the rack folds up cleanly against the vehicle and doesn’t look bulky or awkward.
From a road cyclist’s perspective, the CrossTrack 2 strikes the perfect balance between bike protection, ease of use, and premium build quality. It feels thoughtfully designed by people who actually understand cyclists and their gear. If you’re serious about your road bike and want a hitch rack that treats it with care, this one is a standout choice.
