Bike Cargo Rack

Gotta love new products. Check out our newly-refined Bike Cargo Rack. Although the pictured model is holding 2 bike racks, this combination rack system can hold up to 4 bikes and 200 pounds of gear.

Here's a screenshot (click on the picture for an animation showing different angles):



The Bike Cargo Rack sits on our patented and popular Swingaway frame and is totally versatile: you can use both racks together, only the Bike Rack, or only the Cargo Rack. Your choice! You can even take both racks off and replace it with one of our enclosed cargo carriers, like the MAX Swingaway.

Check back soon for details about StowAway2's summer sponsorship of a mountain biking and cyclocrossing team!

The NEW StowAway2.com!

The day is finally here: the brand-new StowAway2.com is online!



Welcome, Bloggers! If this is your first time, take a minute to peruse our archives as StowAway2 Owners have been sending in great tips for nearly four months.

So what's new on StowAway2.com? Well, for starters, we asked StowAway2 Owners how they use our carriers. After collecting and tabulating the results, we put together the StowAway2 Applications Section. Click through these pages for some great owner-submitted photography, funny anecdotes, and telling testimonials. We're always adding to this section, so if you've got an application that we've overlooked, a picture you're dying to share, or a quote you think we would like to hear, send it in!

If you're new to the idea of hitch-mounted cargo carriers, be sure to run through our StowAway2 Product Selector, a nifty little tool that will help you determine which one of our products is right for your vehicle and application.

Want more? View the deepest catalogue of hitch-mounted cargo carriers and racks in our redesigned Products Section.

Curious about who we are? Check out our new History page!

"It Don't Mean a Thing, if it Ain't Got That Swing!"

It's always an "Aha" moment the first time someone sees a StowAway2 Swingaway carrier. To capture this, we put together a little animation to show off just how slick our swinging steel frame is.

As you can see, the StowAway2 Swingaway frame pivots 180 degrees to allow full access to the rear of your vehicle. Good times! To see a video of our Swingaway carrier in action, go HERE.
