Pros & Cons
Pros
Bikes are pretty close to each other, and can rub against each other or have clearance issues. This keeps the bikes from swaying against the car. Allows you to move them out of the way after the bikes are off so they don't whack you on the head when y... Read More
This rack is very adjustable and offers numerous mounting angles and positions. Easy and quick set up and install. The installation instructions aren't well-detailed, but it was easy to install to my vehicle.
The tensioner straps that hold the rack to the car trunk lid are very easy to adjust and tighten. Works perfect on my 2008 mustang (with spoiler) and my friends 2013 camaro ss. I have a 2005 volvo s40 and it mounts great.
No more threading the strap through awkward plastic buckles.
Sure takes the worry of loosing my expensive bike(s). On her kona dew, it takes a lot of wiggling to get that bike on and off the rack. Secures the bike really well.

Highlights
Quality
Works well, and very durable in all weather
It’s very sturdy and held 2 heavy steel kids bikes with no issues.
The loading spots do not like wide or weird shaped frames such as my friends giant defy 5.

Price
They're priced right, look great and i never have to worry about my bicycle disappearing while driving down the highway.
I will admit that i picked yellow because it was $50 cheaper on the day i bought it but i don't mind the color.
Get a bike rack one that was not expensive, but worth the purchase.
Packaging/appearance
But it looks good on a subaru outback, and my last one got caved into my car by some idiot who hit me from behind.
Competitiveness
I like the straps that you use to attach bikes to the rack- they are much easier to use than other brands i've tried.
All in all, a really good rack at a much lower price than similar models from thule or yakima.
I saw this model for $40 more in a local chain bike store, and after checking craigslist and ebay ads i realized that used rack... Read More
And hopefully, people will see me better and won't run into me with this yellow rack on the car!
