Easy to install, well made, great value, folds up.
I'm pretty impressed with the bike rack. Assembly was really easy (ten minutes- watch the video in the product photos) and the provided tools were great. I like that it has built in protection to prevent someone from stealing the rack. it feels pretty sturdy. I also like that each bike is held to the rack seperately, without touching the frame of our carbon fiber bikes. A couple suggestions: It might be overkill, but I'm going to add a simple tie-down strap to hold the bikes down while traveling long distances. The specs say they hold up to a 48 inch wheelbase. The hubs on my bikes are 49 inches apart and it works. I wish it accomodated slightly larger wheelbases.

No more struggling to put on & then take off bikes!
The dual bicycle carrier has served us well! My husband was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to put together. It is very sturdy and secure.

With a few substitutions, works great!
This bike rack is solid and strong but, as others have noticed, it doesn't sit well because the u-brackets must be mounted upward. This makes it impossible to fold it down completely flat.My solution was to buy Roof Box Clamps with 85mm internal U-bracket width. If the spacing is 85mm, you can use them along with the plastic roof box bracket to put the u-clamps in in the downward direction. This will allow the bike rack to sit flush when not in use. I install the U-clamps pointing downward and use the beefy roof box clip to secure from the bottom instead of from the top.With this fix, the rack is great. It's very stable and holds my large sized bike (I'm 6'2").I suggest using regular nuts instead of the knob nuts for the mounting because you might not have space for the knobs.

Great value
Incredible value. Has all the features and conveniences you'd expect from this type of rack, great fit and finish, solid and secure mounting. Easily matches the functionality of the big brand racks at multiples of the price. Just supply your own cable/u-lock if that's a concern.

No wobble!
I wanted a bike transporter that wouldn't touch the carbon frame and wheels of my gravel bike. This one holds the bike securely, but beware that you probably can't use it if your bike has fenders or a rack that cover the tires. It is pretty easy to assemble, mount, and fold. It is well-built and held two bikes - without wobble - over a 400 mile trip on Interstates, highways, and bumpy local roads. The mounting system uses an insert that expands inside the hitch receiver, and there is a secondary pin for safety. You don't need to buy a transporter that costs 4x this price.

Great Rack
I am here to sing the praises of this rack; it far exceeds my expectations. I am one that does my due diligence and was very hesitant to purchase this but time and cost finally made me forge ahead. We needed a rack to use on our upcoming trailer trip, and once I received it found it wasn't recommended for RV's but I liked it's construction and used it anyway. Our bikes have fenders, and with some mild modifications found it works perfect with absolutely no rubbing on the frame. it's VERY solid, the bikes ride extremely secure. I love the lock which is again very secure, there is no wobble at the hitch connection, and the tires seat perfectly in the rack everytime. We took a 2000 mile trip, the ease of loading the bikes (we do not have heavy ebikes) is amazing, running a cable and lock for security simple, it's literally a 30 second load and go. I would highly recommend this rack, I am not disappointed. Attached are photos of modifications to add a stud (modified bolt) on the arms that mate with a hole on our bike's rear racks where a reflector would have mounted; makes for an extremely secure/positive connection.

Secure but isn’t compatible with my bike
Went together well. Very secure on car. Not straight forward to operate and adjust though. My bike also wouldn’t fit securely on due to having a fender that comes down over the back tire. I would have to take off the fender to use the rack in the future. Also fair warning, it whistles when you drive due to the open holes in the metal bars.

Pretty Solid Rack
I’ll give it 5 stars bcz I do believe it is a solid product. Wasn’t too difficult assemble, isn’t terribly heavy & does provide for two way to mount to your roof rack. Overall I like it.With that, my only minor complaint is that there is some slightly concerning shaking/trembling of my bikes on the highways in high winds on this rack. I think it’s just pure design of the product that allows for a little more trembling than I’m comfortable with. I just remind myself while driving in fast & windy conditions that it is almost impossible for the bike to break loose.Recommend *
