The Lenox's wheel-mount design provides ease when loading and unloading by sitting lower, allowing for less lift when mounting your bikes, while sacrificing nothing in the way of road clearance.

Simply lift your bikes onto the wheel hoops, tie-down using the rubber straps and padded grip arms, and voila! Your bikes are safe, secure and protected from frame damage! The Lenox's grip arms were also designed to accommodate a vast amount of frame types, while the sliding wheel platforms offer a custom fit for bikes with 20-29-inch wheels. This helps to keep your bikes safely in place as you make your way to your cycling destination. Whether carrying a full load or not, the Lenox conveniently offers hassle-free access your car's trunk. When not in use this rack folds up for a simple storage solution, while the center arm can fold downward to allow access to the rear of your vehicle without having to remove the rack from the hitch mount.
