BackStage Swing-Away Hitch Rack

Although this rack has a few things that could be improved upon it is still the best rack for the price. I replaced a 2013 Kuat NV hitch due to it having a 1.25" hitch setup. The adapter was too unstable, so replacement was the better option.
The full swing away of the Backstage and the quality of the build makes this rack a must have and makes it superior to the Kuat.
I would like to see a better option for the bike lock, and it would be nice to have the bike repair clamp that the Kuat had, but the swing away capability far outweighs both of those capabilities of the Kuat.
The price is comparable, and the bike is much more stable on the back of the vehicle that the Kuat.

Awesome rack. Live in Massachusetts and have traveled with 2 pedal assist e-bikes to Florida and west coast and have had zero issues. Highly recommend

Great bike rack! Class B rv and it allows the Transit doors to open and lock at 90*. 3,000 mile trip and never an issue.

I have a sprinter with boxes on back of van. This rack worked great with a 18" extension. Bikes swing out and clear boxes nicely.
Most importantly is the rack is rock solid in the hitch. There is no rocking like my old Thule.
I added a set of Brake/ signal lights and pluded into the trailer plug. Added safety and makes it Legal.

Just got this recently and took it from Tx to Utah and back. We camped out mostly in backwoods and drove through a lot of dirt roads that were bumpy and some a bit rough. The rack didn't come loose at all the bike stayed in place and didn't shift. The swing away feature is perfect for our sprinter van, too so we can access the back doors without having to remove the bike or rack. This rack is solid and a great one! (We used the hitch extender because my ebike handlebars are just a tad too wide and it didn't affect the performance one bit.)
