Platform hitch racks mount to the receiver hitch on your vehicle.
They support the bike from the bottom with either Trays or wheel holders and then a clamp holds the top tube or the top of the wheels to keep the bike stable.
The Platform Racks are the latest style of rack and do a very good job of safely holding the bikes without damaging the paint on the bike or touching the paint on the vehicle.
