from Burlington, Ontario Date Reviewed: July 9, 2004 Strengths: Easy to mount Weaknesses: It's supposed to be designed to carry 3 bikes, but the first time I tried that, the rack crumpled at the 90 degree bend of the frame and slipped off the bumper (while travelling at highway speed!). By some miracle I didn't lose the bikes or cause a major accident while travelling on the highway. I did end up denting and scratching my trunk lid when the bikes fell, and dragged the bikes along the pavement as I tried to stop and veer off the highway as quickly as possible. Only the straps hanging onto the trunk lid saved this from being an even messier situation. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $70.00

from Rochester, MN Date Reviewed: September 28, 2003 Strengths: made of metal, easy to install Weaknesses: DESiGN FLAWS--lack of horizontal anchors doesn't so much allow the bike to sway from side to side, but all the weight of the carrier is on the two top straps. They can actually just pop off from the stress, which they did to me and dumped my bike as I was pulling into the driveway from picking up the bike at the very nearby bike shop. I installed it by following the instructions to the letter. Perhaps if I had a different model of automobile this would be less likely (I have a 94 Bonneville). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: Sportmart Similar Products Used: Bell "Deluxe" two bike carrier. This one has horizontal support straps, is made of metal, and actually feels a bit sturdier, but finding a place to clip the horizontal straps is difficult on my Bonneville. Bike Setup: Don't ask...very embarassing

from WA Date Reviewed: July 20, 2003 Strengths: It provides enough heighth that the wheels don't "bottom out" on the asphalt when travelling. It's relatively easy to install, once the straps are adjusted and the rack is fitted. It also has an advantage over most bumper or rear racks because it works with most cars with protruding bumpers (which is almost all of them). Weaknesses: Few. Those who have had the racks fall off are evidently not following the detailed instructions. After numerous trips hauling generally two bikes, I had no failures, issues, problems whatsoever. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years

from OCEANSIDE,CA Date Reviewed: December 18, 2001 Strengths: DOESN'T TOUCH THE CAR. Weaknesses: THE RACK MAY SLIP OF THE BUMPER. THE DESIGN HAS PRO AND CONS. THE ONLY PART OF THE CAR THE FRAME TOUCHES IS THE BUMPER, BUT IF IT SLIPS OFF THE BUMPER YOU END UP DRAGGING THE FRAME AND BIKE BY THE STRAPS.
