Not satisfactory

Another rack that hides the license plate on your vehicle providing law enforcement the reason to pull you over and write you a ticket. One up racks provide a solution to this issue while Thule ignores it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to use, but...

We purchased in June this year. Our intent, like so many, was to avoid going stir crazy, explore new trails, have fun. Thisrack is indeed easy to use, allows acess to the back and integrated lock is one less worry. HOWEVER- you cannot leave your rear or front racks on your bike! We carry stuff, to enjoy a picnic, change a flat, lock our bike at the destination. It’s a real pain to remove the rear bike rack to transport the bike. We don’t have fenders on our bikes, but those would get in the way as well. We spent $$$ on a rack intending to use it for lots of shorter trips. The fact that it covers the license plate is a constant worry as well. We are activly looking for a replacement.

Where is the state plates and taillights on display car. I own a jeep and ran into conflicts before!!!!
Change the plate, you need to relight the plate State Standards ETC
Other than that looks good .. Too expensive for 2 Bicycles.

Looks and Functions Great!!!

This is a solid rack and it's really expensive. The look and simplicity of it is what I was looking for along with holding the bikes by the tires and not touching any other part of the bike. Assembly is easy, the bolts are tight, antisieze on the bolts is good idea if you ever need to take it apart. The clear anodized finish on aluminum apears to be durable and scratch resistant. I have a 29er hardtail with 3.0" wider tires and it fits no problem. Wider than 3.0" and it might be an issue. This rack will be seeing alot of rain, dust and mud here in the PNW. We'll see how well it's built.
The issue I have is the center section of the rack has a small part loose and when you move it up and down you can hear it slidiing around in there. What do I do? Can I disassemble it? Please reach out and advise. Thanks!
I would recommend this to a friend!

FANTASTIC BIKE RACK!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to take our bikes out, our old one would take the paint off the bikes as we drove, not very stable. This one keeps them locked down and they do not touch when you go over bumps. Very well built, great materials were used in the construction, we have had numerous bike racks over the years and this one by far is the best we have ever had. If you are in need of a new bike rack and want to keep you expensive bikes secure this is the one for you. Highly recommend!!!

Will meet our needs for ease of use.

Solidly built unit that will make transporting our bikes easier. I did have to back drill one bracket with a 5/16" drill bit to widen the first bracket holes to accept the bolts. Other that that minor glitch the rest of the install went quickly. Looking forward to its first road test this week.
