Hollywood Racks might not be the first brand that comes to mind when considering a new hitch bike rack. Its latest model, the CrossTrack, aims to change that. While the brand is relatively popular among RVers and e-bike riders, most people with high-end bikes have shied away because they all make contact with the bike frame.
The CrossTrack marks a significant departure from that design for Hollywood Racks. It is the brand’s first frameless contact model. With dual wheel arms, this rack only makes contact with the bike’s tires. It won’t ruin your bike’s paint job or even scuff up your fancy rims. This design makes it far more likely to appeal to riders with more expensive bikes, including me.
I’ve been testing the two-bike version of the CrossTrack for the past 2 months. I’ve been impressed by its ease of use, stability, secure bike hold, and streamlined appearance. It comes in one-bike ($400) and two-bike ($750) versions. It can transport just about any bike without fenders up to 66 pounds.
In short: The CrossTrack is a big step up in performance for Hollywood Racks. It’s simple to use, carries a wide range of bikes, has a fairly high weight limit, and is stable and secure. It has a few minor quirks but no fatal flaws. The price is competitive compared to similar racks on the market.
