Hi-Ride Carrier (2-bike) | $398

It doesn’t matter if you ride a road or MTB… if you’re sick and tired of big, ugly roof racks that have to be left on your car all the time, or hard-to-load towbar racks that leave your bikes rubbing together and swinging in the breeze… then this is probably the carrier for you.

And of course if you ride a carbon fibre bike, or any other lightweight bike, or even just a bike with an unusual frame shape, then the Hi-Ride is almost certainly the carrier for you.

A quick note about bike racks in general

Did you know that besides being awkward and time consuming to load, in some instances ordinary beak type racks (that hang your bike from the top tube) have been known to cause extensive frame damage? If you’re not sure what we mean by a beak style carrier, click HERE to see a photo. It’s probably obvious that we’re not great fans of them.

So if you want a carrier that can be fitted and removed from your vehicle in seconds (using our Quick-Grip hitch which stays on your towbar), or a carrier that can be swapped between cars in an instant (you simply need an extra hitch), if you want a carrier that’s unbelievably quick to load and unload (absolutely no tools, straps or ropes required), a carrier that gives huge amounts of ground clearance and a totally stable ride with your bikes supported by the wheels and not hanging by the frame… then the Hi-Ride is definitely the carrier for you.

The Hi-Ride carrier was designed right here in Australia… by us. It’s also 100% Australian made… by us. It’s all steel, zinc plated and powder coated. It’s rated for 2 bikes up to 17kg each, is fully adjustable for all bike sizes and shapes, is delivered fully assembled and ready to bolt onto your car (using your own towball), and it’s fully guaranteed… for life!

PLEASE NOTE

This carrier is designed to fit onto all standard towbars. Our quick-release hitch simply attaches using your own tow ball.

While it may be possible in some cases (depending on the clearance around your particular trailer coupling), this system is not designed to allow trailers to be towed while our “hitch” is still attached to the towbar.

Hello Jon, My carrier arrived yesterday and was fitted to my car in 5 minutes flat, and the best bit is that both myself and my petrol head husband are chuffed with the product….good stuff, very well made, stable and secure. Cheers

Hi GripSport, Just a quick note to let you know Ive used the Hi Ride Carrier with both my mountain and road bikes and I cannot speak highly enough of your product. For the first time I am 100% confident that the bike is safe from damage when being transported. Sure there are cheaper types of carriers out there, but none come close to the quality and design that you have. When you consider the cost of bikes (I can have over 10 grand sitting on the carrier) then the High Ride is as cheap as chips.Thanks again.

Good morning. Just wanted to let you know that I purchased a Hi-Ride carrier off you in October 2007 and I must say itís possibly the best bit of design Iíve seen in along while. Thanks so much.

Hi John and crew, Just a note to let you know that the Hi-Ride carrier arrived ok and has been used in combat. I set aside some time to mount the device but it took absolutely no time to do the initial install. I am not exaggerating when I say that the most complex part of the operation was undoing my towball to mount the quick release receiver plate. The entire process took around 3 minutes. After that, getting it on and off takes literally seconds. Likewise, loading the bike is so easy - drop it in the wheel hoops and tighten the securing hook - again just seconds! The rack is as solid as a rock too and you were correct in your advice - with the bike off it lets me open the tailgate of the X-Trail. ( a big plus). I wont put my bike on a normal rack with another bike as they will invariably clash together when accelerating or braking. On my first trip I picked up a mate and his bike. I was gingerly watching both the bikes in the rear view mirror for the first few kilometres but not the slightest bit of movement. Your product is definitely all you said it would be. It feels good to own such a nice piece of gear. I have no hesitation whatsoever recommending the rack to anyone who asks (and its already drawn a few comments) as its a good Australian product made by a company that obviously still believes in customer service. You deserve to do well. Thanks again and Cheers.

Hi,I recently participated in the Gibb River Road Mountain Bike Challenge. This event was a relay race with teams of 2 to 6 riders tagging every 5 km or so, throughout the dayís stage which ranged from 105 km to 230 km from day to day. The key was using a bike carrying systems which protected the bikes from damage and were easy to get on and off. My friend Sam and I used a GripSport Hi-ride double tow bar carrier (see photo 1). It was without doubt the quickest and easiest bike carrier present at the event. The carrier was put through its paces. We headed down the Kurungi track (see photo 2) which was extremely rough. The carrier did its job well. Congratulations on an excellent product.

Hi Guys, The Hi-Ride rack is an absolute corker, best rack available IMHO! Keep on trucking.

Hi there,We recently purchased a high ride carrier and tandem adapter kit. It is totally revolutionary and eliminated a lot of swearing (!), as well as padding, straps and concern on the road. Why arenít all carriers this easy?! Thanks so much for a great product and also unbelievably fast service. We imported our tandem bike from the US and would like to recommend your product to them ñ would you ship overseas, because I think there would be a lot of interest. Thanks and regards,
Robert, Sharron & Olivia Sykes - Nairne SA.

Hi,I recently purchased a High-Ride carrier. I love the simplicity of this unit, it only takes a couple of minutes to fit and loading the bike on/off the rack is definitely the quickest for any bike rack I have seen. Thanks again for a great product.Regards.

Gday Gripsport, Heres some photos of us using the high ride rack I got off you some time back. Its an awesome carrier, its so quick to load/unload and even though Ive got both a wagon & a ute I still use the carrier because its SO easy. I get a lot of comments about it too, so I certainly hope some of these have turned into sales for you!

Hi Gripsport, I just had to write and let you guys know what we think of your new Hi-Ride carrier. We’ve had all manner of bike racks over the years including some damn expensive roof racks, but once we got some decent quality bikes (C/Fibre etc) I knew we were going to need something that would protect our new toys when travelling. And without a doubt the Hi-ride is not only the best at protecting the toys (no more risk of driving under carports etc) but it is quickest and easiest thing weve ever used. My wife thanks you! And of course so do I. So good to see an aussie design that is tough, simple and easy to use. All the best.

Received the hi-ride t/bar carrier today - very impressed! Looks great and very secure.. Have quite a few people coming to look so hopefully, there will be more orders from Horsham coming your way. Thank you for your assistance and promptness in delivery.
Barry Fraser - Horsham

Hi Guys, Just letting you know that I ordered a hi-ride carrier off you a week ago and it arrived yesterday. After I fitted it and drove with it I simply couldnt believe the build quality of it.I would recommend this brand to anyone. Just letting you know. Keep up the good work because its fantastic. Cheers

Hi john just a quick email to say that the bike carrier is excellent. Have been away with it and even done some 4wd with it and it was great. Job well done. I love it. Thank you.

Hi Grip Sport, We’ve had one of your Hi-Ride 2-bike carrier’s for a few weeks now, and really impressed with how fast & easy it is to fit our bikes, and how sercurely the bikes & carrier are held in place. We regularly carry three odd-size bikes in different combos - 24-inch kid’s MTB, 26-inch FS bike & 96’er hardtail - and it copes well with whatever combination we try. Easy enough to use that my wife can load up the bikes when I’m not around - wouldn’t have asked her to use our old towbar system with clamps & bungees & roof-racks too high - so well done on such a great product. I’m thinking about buying a new Mitsubishi Pajero which has the spare wheel mounted on the tailgate - can you tell me whether the Hi-Ride 4-bike carrier will fit OK on the Pajero, ie: will the carrier & bikes clear the spare wheel OK ? thanks
Andrew Sievwright

Hi Jon, You’re welcome to add my comments to your feedback page - it’s not often than I come across a local product that does it’s job so well that it’s worth raving about - my wife & 11-year old son are on holiday at the moment and they’ve had no problems at all with loading & unloading the bikes. Thanks also for the info about the 4-bike carrier - I didn’t realise that you make them to order, so I’ll get back to you in a couple of weeks with an order. thanks
Andrew Sievwright.

G’day, Just thought I’d drop you a quick note to thank you for the great bike carrier and the great after sales service (it arrived a little roughed up and you freighted out new parts to exchange for the damage ones).  This carrier is as good as I thought it would be - I can easily fit any bike to it in seconds (including combinations of my singlespeed 29er, all mountain rig, and my mates’ trail and free-ride rigs).  Brilliant, easy to use, and makes ducking out for a quick ride after work just that - quick! Many thanks.
Denis Davey

Been meaning to drop you a note and thank you for the extra long hooks you made up for the bike rack (we met at Anglesea race and I bought a workstand). In my opinion it definitely makes for an even better rack, but more to the point is the impressive after sale service you provided. A rare thing these days! Keep up the good work, thanks again and if you need a positive review of the rack for future customers feel free to contact me or pass on my email address. Cheers
