How Much Does the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack Weigh
Question:
Hello! We have a 2018 VW Tiguan. We find the swing aspect really interesting. What is the weight of the rack itself? when that say weight capacity, does it mean the goal weight: bikes + rack? What would be the best 4 bikes rack available for us?

Expert Reply:
The SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack part # SR2415 weighs about 50 lbs. The total weight capacity of 140 lbs does not include the weight of the bike rack. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13381 which is a fit for your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan.
The best four bike for you would really be dependent on what type of bikes you have and what features you value. It sounds like you are looking for something that is cost effective, lightweight, and has the swing away feature. If that is the case then the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack is the best for this.
