Strengths:    This rack has truly been worth the money. I got a great deal for this on eBay.

Weaknesses:    Zilch

Bottom Line:   
I have absolutely no worries about the stability or the security of my bike. It's so much more convenient than putting my bike in the trunk of my sedan.

Date Reviewed: May 24, 2004

Strengths:    Solid, easy to use. The whole yakima system/bike took on my garage last year...wish the car had held up like the rack did! (did I say that out loud?)

Weaknesses:    Price

Bottom Line:   
The viper does everything I need it to. Locks easily and holds the bike firm...(As for security, not sure why you would leave your ride on top of your car overnight...if someone really wants your bike, and you give them that kind of time, leave the key in the lock and save yourself the damage)
