Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It holds my bike electra townie securely. Best thing is the bikes are so secure, and there is no sway!

The rack appears sturdy and is super-easy to use. Solid and stable at speed - no bouncing, movement or drag.

Good feet to protect where touching car and back glass. No freeway driving so far, but have driven up to 55mph with no concerns.

The hold down straps are not velcro and seem well designed. The straps are very long, so i recommend adding some velcro straps to keep them wrapped up. No comment on wear and tear on clips and straps - but the rest is solid.

Easy peasy on my acura tlx with small spoiler. Easy to assemble - had to youtube a video of installing. Very easy to hang and remove the bikes, and put the rack on and off of the car.

Cons

The rack itself seems well assembled and sturdy, but it absolutely does not fit my 2021 subaru forester. The instructions for set up were not included. Spend the money and have a receiver installed on a compact suv and use a hitch mount carrier. If ch... Read More

Plastic buckles are cheaply made and nearly fall apart sliding them together. The straps do not ratchet, they arte simple friction-type. Two straps broke free of the arm, almost sending two bikes to the ground as i pulled away from the curb.

Highlights

Quality

It is light, sturdy, inexpsensivee and carries my bicycle securely.

Solid and stable at speed - no bouncing, movement or drag.

The shape of the upper arms gets the strap over the spoiler and puts no force on it, even when the rack is tightened down.

They broke after the first use and didn't stay tight prior to breaking.

Price

It’s perfect and the price was so reasonable.

I know it saves money, but it can't add much more to make that important fix.

It was going to cost us easy over $1000 to get a hitch installed and bike rack for our hatchback.

I bought this, more than i wanted to spend, but worth the cost.

Shipping

Only shipped after contacting amazon support to request a cancellation.

Shipping took forever with no communication from the seller.

It did come without one strap attached, but the manufacturer promptly sent me the proper part.

Rack just arrived, or should i say the replacement.

Packaging/appearance

My first rack had some hairline cracks in both arms at the same point in their arch so i sent it back as the box it came in was... Read More

The first rack arrived with the box opened and on inspection i found a hold down strap was missing.

Competitiveness

Pricey - but less than others and i feel worth the extra bucks for stability and construction.

Was going to install a rear hitch, but as i had a honda fit and subaru crosstrek, i wanted to be able to switch between the two... Read More
