49 Customer Reviews
When you’ve got an itch to hit the trails on your 2-wheeler, the last thing you want to do is waste time tearing down your bike. But, most truck bed bike racks out there force you to pop off your wheel to get a secure fit. What a pain.
Well, times have changed. Thanks to the Advantage SportsRack Truck Bed Bike Rack, you never have to wrench on your hubs, fiddle with your chain, or find a place to stash your loose wheel. Simply fit your wheel into one of the open slots on your Advantage SportsRack Truck Bike Rack, and you’re ready to rock and roll over to your favorite rocky trailhead.
Best of all, your Advantage SportsRack bed rack mounts securely to your pickup without any drilling needed. It’s equipped with bumper-cushioned screws, so a couple turns is all it takes to seat it securely. And, if you need to haul oversized gear in your bed, it’s just as fast to remove. You also get a lockable security cable and a Lifetime Warranty.

After receiving rack and attempted to put it together I noticed the parts to put it all together doesn't match. I still decided to keep it but just splitting the two in half. Overall not satisfied, but since I'm an engineer I made it work. I have no time to return so I kept it.

Assembly is very easy. The unit is easy to install and remove from the truck bed. I have a compact shortbed pickup and it fits fantastic; easily accommodating our three bikes with room for one more!

Good rack for the price. I had one missing locking screw upon pulling it out of the box, but other than that it was an easy install and works great. It only took one beer to install:)

Well, first of all it didn't fit my truck, which is a 2012 F-350 Dually. I had explained the type of truck I had to the gent I spoke to @ Anything Auto, and he sad it would fit - but the extensions were too short. I also own a 2011 F-250 short bed and the reack fits in its bed. My 1st planned trip using the rack is in 10 days (in the F-250).

The printed installation instructions do not cover the full process. I had to call and go online to determine how to adjust to fit my vehicle. It would be nice if it were easier to remove and replace.

We are often on bouncy mtn roads, what holds the bikes in place so they do not come out of the rack?
Answered by Nathan S. — May 13, 2013 8:35 AM
Hi John, Your locking cable keeps the bike in the rack.

If our truck bed is too short (we have a tool box), could we mount the back tire in the rack and turn the front tires sideways? Would it be stable enough?
Answered by Nathan S. — Feb 21, 2013 9:42 AM
Hi, It should be sturdy enough.

Will it work with rhino lining? and will it fit under the HD bakflip bedcover? Thanks
Answered by Nathan S. — Feb 18, 2013 10:16 AM
Hi, The Advantage SportsRack Truck Bed Bike Rack extends over the top of the bed rail and will not be compatible with your BakFlip. The Swagman The Claw Roof Bike Rack is a good alternative which will fit under the cover.

Very interested on this bike rack but wondering if the suction will hold because I have a Line-X spray on bed liner extending up the walls of the bed. Will the suction grasp and be able to get the proper suction to hold the bike rack for 4 bikes? Thank you Tim
Answered by Nathan S. — Nov 08, 2012 11:26 AM
Unfortunately, A lined surface is too rough for a suction cup to stick too. Check out the Thule as an option: http://www.autoanything.com/bike-racks/69A3107A0A0.aspx

I also have 2 Trek beach cruisers with fenders. Can the front wheel be placed in the rack and secured instead of the rear wheel? The fenders would not be a problem then.

This looks GREAT! Just one question: What's to keep someone from stealing this awesome rack out of the back of my truck when the bikes aren't locked to it? (like when I'm out riding)
Answered by Michael K. — Apr 09, 2012 9:06 AM
Hi Mike, the bike rack comes with a locking cable which is used to lock the rack to your bed at pretty much any fastening point, as well as locking the bikes to the rack.

but will it fit a 29er mtb tire?
Answered by Anonymous — Feb 07, 2012 6:42 PM
It is a snug fit but yes my 29er fits. Bungee cords are a good idea.

Hey Jeff, we contacted the manufacturer and they say it will only fit up to a 26" mountain bike tire.
