Hitch Source LLC Announces a New Line of Softride Bike Racks
Hitch Source LLC announced today that they have released a new
line of Softride
bike racks. The bike racks are trailer hitch mounted and
carry up to four bikes. The Softride bike racks incorporate a
patented, parallelogram folding mechanism that keeps the bikes
perpendicular to the ground throughout the entire range of
motion.
The Softride
bike rack line offers a wide range of improvements over
their predecessors. First, the bike rack arms have been
completely redesigned to incorporate a one piece bike cradle.
This improves the durability and lifetime of the bike rack.
Second, newly designed rubber straps offer enhanced life and
stretch. Third, the entire line of Softride bike
racks now includes locking hitch pins and a retractable
cable for securing bikes to the rack.
The Softride
line features three different models. The entry level Access
Pull Pin series offers a new level of price/performance. It
offers the same bike cradles as the other Softride bike racks
and uses a t-handle, pull-pin mechanism for folding the rack.
The Softride Access DX series offers a thicker gauge steel
construction and a foot-pedal release mechanism that simplifies
cargo access. The Softride Access HD is a model specifically
designed for General Motors. The HD offers a pull-pin release
mechanism with heavy duty tubing and hardware to ensure long
lasting durability.
"We're excited to introduce the latest Softride bike rack
models. They've been our most popular bike racks and these new
Softride models offer significant improvements and unprecedented
value.", said Ken Whiteman, President of Hitch Source LLC,
"We've already seen a spike in demand and expect the 2006 model
year to be our best year, yet."
