from Puyallup, WA, USA Date Reviewed: March 30, 2012 Strengths: Easy install, strong build, rack very secure and stable, bikes very secure and stable Weaknesses: Maybe the locks but if someone is willing to cut through the thick plastic mechanism; they'd probably find a way to get through a metal one. Keep in mind the actual tumbler of the lock is metal, it's the mechanism used to secure it that is 1/4" thick plastic Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Skoocum Flats Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $260.00 Purchased At: Amazon Similar Products Used: Yakima Kingjoe Pro 3, Yakima Kingjoe 2 Bike Setup: Specialized Enduro Expert

from Singapore Date Reviewed: February 13, 2011 Strengths: Once you get the hang of fixing it up. 5mins is all it takes to set it up. Trunk is still able to open with bike rack strapped on. Single person operation is possible because only 2 straps are needed. Mechanical strap fasteners secure the straps better than conventional clips. Able to mount rack even if trunk has spoiler. Rubber straps are much tougher than nylon straps. Weaknesses: Metal clips may require additional DIY padding to prevent car paint scratching. Cuttings on provided keys look too simple and generic.

from Columbia, Md. USA Date Reviewed: June 10, 2009 Strengths: Absolutely simple to put on or take off of the car. No buckles to mess with. Unit has a key locking ratcheting mechanism for added security. Loading bars adjust to fit multiple angles without the use of any external tools. Looks really good on the car. Weaknesses: The locking mechanism looks to be made of plastic. Adjusting the loading bars is not as easy as it should be. Bike Stabilizers are not usable on all frames.

from Bangkok, Thailand Date Reviewed: July 30, 2008 Strengths: Very easy and quick to install on car. Took me at most 1-2 minutes. Very stable when fully loaded with 3 MTBs, at least 40kg in total weight. I drove almost 400km at speeds of 110-120km/h with no problems whatsoever. More secure than any rear mount bike rackes I have ever used. Weaknesses: Plastic locks not very confidence inspiring. Stickers peeling off. Not that I mind much as they only serve to advertise for the product. Expensive compared to other rear mounted products, but certainly good value for its strengths. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $330.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Trek

from Stafford, Va. USA Date Reviewed: July 17, 2008 Strengths: I bought this rack to fit one of three vehicles. One sedan, one hatchback, and 1 SUV. With a little adjustment, this rack fits all of them. Sturdy and stable. Folds up nicely. Weaknesses: Product takes a few minutes to understand how strap and lock mechanisms work but the instructions are valuable and once read, set up is no problem. Plastic locks seem cheap. Bottom of rack has hooks to fit under the trunk lid. These appear to be susceptable to marring vehicle if not fitted properly when installing the rack.

Bike Setup: MTB and Road.

from Poway, CA, USA Date Reviewed: April 17, 2008 Strengths: Quick and easy to install Loading bikes just as easy well built (better be since it has a lifetime warranty which I am not afraid to use) Weaknesses: Stickers where coming off when I unpacked it. Curling up like tacos. The locking mechanism is made of plastic. It would take about 5 seconds to cut through it with a hack saw. Should have been made of metal, ideally stainless steel.

from Santa Rosa CA USA Date Reviewed: March 28, 2008 Strengths: Very sturdy and beautifully constructed. Attaches solidly to the vehicle. No flimsy straps. It's a BETTER alternative to permanently mounted roof racks. Looks great too! Weaknesses: Heavier than I expected.
