Strengths: Simple/practical/stylish design, snug fit on spare tire, BAT wings adapt to any frame (may need crossbar), stabilizer bar holds bike(s)firmly and without sway-- bikes do not hit back of vehicle in transit, great customer service (called w/ question).Weaknesses: None, really. It may take some trial & error to get the BAT wing fitted to your particular frame.Bottom Line: Excellent product, I love it. Very reasonable price, easy to install, works perfectly. 10 chilis!

Strengths: Very sturdy and supportive. Easy to use, although some manipulation is required on some frames like the Comfort 400. Company has a super warranty (see weaknesses)Weaknesses: The rubber tab that the straps attach to are a great design, but weaken quickly and tear off. Already had to replace, but when I called the company about the problem, they did not ask any questions and sent replacements for free (no shipping/handling charges).Bottom Line: I have really liked this bike rack. It does a great job of holding the bike(s) and I feel it is very secure. I use the rack on a Jeep Wrangler, which with the short wheel base, I get a lot of bounce, but the bikes are held securely. Very easy to use a cable lock, but because the whole rack can easily be unscrewed from the tire mount, I would not leave an expensive bike on there over night. Anyway, other than the weakness I listed, I love the rack.

Strengths: Easy to install. Visually appealing design. Rugged. Can accomodate most bikes.Weaknesses: Does not easy accomodate bikes with the rear shock attached to bottom of Top Tube.Bottom Line: Looks good on the Jeep. Holds the bike very steady. The only thing I did not like was the fact that the wheel attachment must be purchased separately. It holds the bikes nicely, even while 4 wheeling.

Strengths: Solid designWeaknesses: Straps may not hold up. Doesn't fit some framesBottom Line: I like it. Good value, solid built. It doesn't carry my AC without some effort but with the addition of a Bie Beam or something like that it will be great!
