Strengths: well built
good finish
functions like it shouldWeaknesses: mechanism holds bike frameBottom Line: I purchased this bike rack to replace my existing non platform hitch rack. This platform rack is the way to go if you are looking for a functional durable budget friendly rack. I have used this rack many times for the last couple of months since i bought it and it is performing as it is meant to. The ratcheting system is all metal so it is going to be a durable long lasting product I presume. The only draw back I have is how it holds the bike by the frame (its designed to though). Make sure you wipe the area clean and free of dirt before ratcheting the arm down as it could eventually maybe scratch the finish of you bike.

Strengths: Well thought-out engineering with strength and redundancy where needed and no frills. I can't imagine any bike that wouldn't fit right in. The way the ratchet arm folds down out of the way for acess to the trunk or hatch is quite ingenious, i.e, simple.Weaknesses: Documentation will have the "handily-challenged" calling for help. Now that my bike rides outside, it doesn't get to stay inside so I've lost some room in my kitchenBottom Line: Very impressive value-engineering and the best way I've seen to carry 2 bikes securely at a reasonable cost. A few things could have been done better: I wish the hitch receiver bolt was a Grade 8 with a drilled and wired nut instead of the cotter pin, The through bolt arm pivots look as tho' they'll rust in a few years, the little screws that double as end cap holders and wheel well stops may turn out to be effective but look chintzy.
Still, if it lasts 4-5 years, at a $110, I won't mind paying for another, then.

Strengths: Hold my bike very, very secureWeaknesses: None to speak ofBottom Line: I wanted something that would hold my rig tight and secure. This did not disapoint me at all.

Has not scratched my bike, and thats important.
