All bike racks might appear to be created equal. But few have what it takes to survive the abuse of today’s overlanding cyclists. Hollywood Racks’ new CrossTrack is an altogether different beast, a hitch-mounted bike rack that’s purpose-built for maximum stability — Buy at Hollywood Racks — no matter how rough the going gets.

The design is a game-changer for overlanders, in particular, who frequently tote mountain bikes or off-road-ready e-bikes to camp. It delivers rock-solid stability through a “No Wobble” Hitch System (available on the two-inch model) that “eliminates slack between the receiver hitch and the rack without the use of any tools.”

The all-new CrossTrack minimizes bike-to-bike contact by placing each two-wheeler in its own tray. It’s also the first and only rack in Hollywood Racks’ catalog to provide frameless touch points, opting instead to secure each bike by the wheels. When you finally make it to camp, a front handle pull mechanism makes loading and unloading a snap. And, when you return home, the CrossTrack folds flat for maximum storage versatility.

The CrossTrack is available now in one- or two-bike models and supports either 1.25″ or 2″ hitch receivers. It accommodates bikes up to 66 pounds each with a maximum 52-inch wheelbase. Hollywood Racks even throws in two wheel locks and a Kryptonite Keeper 712 integrated chain lock for free. Additional accessories, including a ramp, LED light bar, wheel locks, and wheel size adjuster knobs, are also available.

Grilling is on our mind: Here is what you need for a successful Independence Day

Five Aventon E-Bikes We’d Choose for Family Rides and Weekend Adventures

Five e-bikes from Aventon you can use to elevate your family weekend

Machine, Wheel, Accessories

Everyone loves a good bikeride. From the time you're a kid until the days of riding romantically on the beach, and finally, riding with your kids around daily or on vacation. I have gotten an opportunity to check out a lot that Aventon has to offer. From towing our kids around the neighborhood to exploring new parks, gravel paths, and campgrounds, we’ve spent time with several Aventon models in real, everyday situations. Family rides can look very different depending on the day, and each bike stood out in its own way depending on where and how we were riding. After spending time with all five, a few clear strengths started to emerge.

I finally found a robot mower that can handle a real piece of land, and it’s over $1,200 off for Prime Day

YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro is down to $4,734 this Prime Day, an almost $1,300 saving on a wire-free, RTK-guided machine built for properties up to 6 acres.

There's a particular kind of weekend that anyone with real acreage knows well. You look out the window at the grass and do the math on how many hours of your Saturday the mower is about to claim. I've spent enough of those weekends behind a deck to want the job handed to a robot, and the thing that always stopped me was that most robot mowers are toys built for a tidy suburban patch, not for land you measure in acres. The YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro is the first one I've come across that's built for the latter, and for day one of Prime Day it's dropped to $4,734 from its usual $5,999, a discount of $1,265.
