THE SOFTRIDE ACCESS ELITE BIKE RACK IS THE TOP-OF-THE-LINE
Superior patented design makes it the most aesthetically pleasing rack on the market
BELLINGHAM, WA ( July 10, 2007 ) -- Softride, the innovator of hitch mounted bike racks, is releasing the Access Elite Bike Rack that includes the patented parallelogram lift and lower design.
“The Access Elite Bike Rack is the top-of-the-line,” says Ryan Allsop, co-president of Softride. “We made it the most beautiful rack available yet it’s functionally similar to our earlier models.”
The Access Elite Bike Rack is made with rugged powder-coated steel and encased in anodized aluminum adding an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the back of the vehicle. The attractive solid aluminum top-plate provides added strength to the rack.
Capable of handling a wide range of bicycles, the Access Elite Bike Rack lowers out of the way, even when loaded with bikes, providing easy accessibility to the rear of the vehicle. The anti-rattle tightening hitch bolt with lock, included with the rack, cinches the hitch bar to the side of the receiver wall eliminating sway and instability that normally occurs with other bike racks.
“Our unparalleled design is different from other racks on the market,” says Allsop. “One person can safely and comfortably lower the rack parallel to the ground to load and unload bikes or gain access to their vehicle.”
The new rack includes upgraded bike rack arms with saddles that include anti-sway cradles and over-sized tie-downs. A cable lock secures bikes to the rack and reflectors on the rack arm ends provide visibility to drivers of other vehicles.
