    • Solid and dependable
Style: 5-bike
We bought the 5-bike version over the 4 since we figured the extra length of the arms would better accommodate our 4 bikes without them needing to be manhandled so much. It was a wise decision. The rack is heavy, but then it is designed to hold perhaps upwards of 100lbs of expensive bikes securely, over bumpy roads, without failing. I do sorta wish that hitch end could be purchased for Class 2 hitches only instead of one that internally spreads to engage a variety of hitch sizes. But it works, and it stays secure after a long drive. The lock itself is pretty lame, but you can provide enough leverage to securely screw the spreaders to keep the rack firmly attached to the hitch socket. Stealing the rack with attached (and presumably tethered/locked) bikes would be quite the effort. The straps that hold the bikes down work well and adjust pretty effectively. I do wish the level at the top to allow the rack to fold were something a little more sturdy. The plastic feels like it will give (although it hasn't). The decal on the main column promptly shed. Overall, I'm really happy with the rack and glad we got the 5-bike version. We use it primarily on a Tesla Model Y, and don't really have issues mounting or unmounting the rack. It does have a noticeable impact on range at highway speeds. We also use it on a Honda Odyssey where it sits in a shadow aerodynamically. Both hitches are class 2. ... show more

    • Excellent bike carrier, my choice after thorough analysis
Style: 4-bike
Just bought this rack and received it the other day... exactly what I had imagined and seen on reviews. Here, I'll provide some insight to my decision to help you decide what would be best for you. Background: I need a bike carrier that will handle 4 bikes (adult road bike & children mountain bike) that's easy to use and not break the bank. First decision point: Roof-rack vs. hitch mounted bike rack. Roof-racks seem more secure but I've known so many people who have run into their garage with the bike attached. Roof-rack decreases your MPG since your car will be less aerodynamic. Also, I'll be using this on my mini-van and the roof-rack for that would just be too high. So I decided on hitch mounted bike rack. But if you treasure your frame and don't want to scratch it (you might with this carrier), then roof-rack may be the way to go. Second decision point: Fold down bike rack or this type of carrier. If I had mountain bikes, heavy bikes, or bikes with irregular frame then the fold down bike rack where you place the bike on top of the rack and lock down would be the way to go. But since I have 4 bikes to carry and they're all "normal" frame, then this carrier is fine. It doesn't extend the car as much as the other type. Third decision point: Brand vs. no-brand. I'm a true believer of "you get what you paid for." Do I want to save a couple hundred dollars while risking thousands of dollars of my bikes... not really. So I decided to go with a brand widely recognizable, either Thule or Yakima. Fourth decision point: Yakima vs. Thule. This is the same debate as Canon vs. Nikon... you have camps on both sides and will fight to their last breath for the brand they're loyal to. Largely, the racks are very similar in function and price. But this rack won because: 1. Hitch mount has a locking mechanism: The triangular thingy at the bottom tightens and loosens the hitch mount, you can lock it and no one can take it away. Thule doesn't have this. 2. Operation levers at top: The two levers that you use to "operate" this carrier are located at the top, so you don't need to bend down to do anything. 3. Tilting mechanism: The carrier can be tilted so that you can access your trunk. I don't know the exact degree but it is pretty significant. I have a Honda Odyssey and the trunk clears the carrier by about a foot. 4. Heavy: This rack is -heavy- and that's good, means it is made out of something strong and will last for a long time. 5. Plastic clips: Instead of rubber straps, this carrier uses plastic clips. This is probably longer lasting and easier to use. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. Extra tip: The black lever at the top will control both tilting of the carrier and also folding the hitch mount ... show more

    • Carried 3 bikes (2 adult, 1 child) 1700 miles without issue.
Style: 4-bike
Our first real trip with this bike rack was >850 miles one way (>1700 miles round trip), mostly on highways. I spent quite a while looking at the different bike racks available and settled on this one. We were carrying two adult hybride bikes, and one 18" bike with training wheels. Instructions for installation are in pictures and easy to understand. The only "confusing" part was that the locking mechanism arrived in the fully locked position and had to be loosened before placing in the hitch receiver. The instructions did not cover this part, but it was easy enough to figure out. The locking feature seems to be pretty weak, but it's there. "Locks are for keeping honest people honest." Alternating adult, child, adult bike, three bikes fit without issue. Attempting 2 adult bikes without the child bike (on the way home from the store when buying the bikes) it was very difficult to get the bikes to fit on the first two spots. Part of this was the difference in the way the female and male bikes fit next to one another. Fitting four adult bikes could be a challenge. I do not trust the plastic clips that are meant to hold the bikes in place and used a ratcheting strap in addition to the clips. In that configuration none of the plastic clips even loosened. One tie-down strap is provided. I read many different bad reviews for many different bike racks. My greatest fear was that driving down the highway the bike rack would break and cause an accident. The bike rack does bounce, sometimes a lot, and caused me a lot of anxiety while driving. However, our route took us on highways through Kentucky and Tennessee, and those roads (especially around Nashville) are riddled with potholes. It also survived the uneven concrete pavement highways that caused the entire SUV to bounce, and 20 - 30 mph sustained winds. I would highly recommend avoiding bumps, and going slow over train tracks and similar features. Otherwise, checking that the rack is secure occasionally and driving cautiously (both recommended by the manufacturer), this rack was sturdy enough for our road trip. ... show more
