Overview
The MaxxHaul 70210 is a swing-down hitch rack that carries up to four bikes on a 2 inch receiver, rated for 150 pounds and built from powder-coated steel with adjustable hold-down straps for each bike.
The swing-down arm is the feature worth noting: it lets the loaded rack pivot away from the vehicle so the rear hatch or trunk still opens without unloading the bikes first. The rack is designed for bikes with a horizontal top tube, and a step-through or other frame style will need an added crossbar, which is not included.
- Swing-down access to rear hatch
- 150 lb capacity, up to 4 bikes
- Fits 2 inch receiver hitches
- Adjustable hold-down straps per bike
Who it's for
Owners of vehicles with a 2 inch receiver hitch who need to carry up to four bikes with horizontal-top-tube frames. Less suited to step-through frames without adding a separate crossbar, and not recommended for towing behind an RV or trailer.
Pros and cons
- Swing-down design keeps the rear hatch accessible while loaded
- Carries up to four bikes on a single 2 inch receiver
- Hold-down straps adjust per bike, not a single fixed cradle
- Includes hitch pin and safety reflector
- Needs a horizontal top tube; step-through frames need an added crossbar not included
- Not rated for use behind trailers, fifth-wheels or RVs
Performance notes
Capacity is spread across adjustable-strap support arms that cradle each bike individually, with a hitch pin and safety reflector handling attachment and visibility. The swing-down hinge is what separates it from a fixed rack: loaded or not, the whole arm assembly tilts down and away from the bumper to clear the hatch.

Frequently asked questions
Does the MaxxHaul 70210 work on a step-through bike frame?
Not on its own. It is designed for a horizontal top bar frame, and MaxxHaul notes that step-through or other frame styles may need an added horizontal crossbar, which is not included.
What size hitch does the MaxxHaul 4 bike rack need?
It fits 2 inch by 2 inch receiver hitches.
Can I tow a trailer or RV with this rack installed?
MaxxHaul advises against it. The greater distance between the bumper and axle on trailers and RVs can cause more bouncing and stress on the rack than a car or SUV.
