Strengths: Mounts to full suspension bike. Mounts on rear brake stays or front fork, your choice. Unit comes with 3 length mounts. Absolutely NO rattle. Use a 1 way ratchet for tightening to the frame.
Side pannier mounts (not shown) are nice also. They can mount for/aft and up or down in position.
Weaknesses: Stiffness make it a little hard to fit to brake stays that are the same width as the rack.Bottom Line: First 'engineered' rack I have seen. Not knocking 'normal' racks, but this thing is made from a combination of bent aluminum tubing, injection molded brackets, stamped stainless steel supports, stainless screws, injection molded quick-release deck, and the slickest nylon strap one way ratchet mechanism you have seen. Nothing compares.
Would give 5 chilis if this was easier to buy. It's from a company in new zealand. They have 1 US distributor, which not all bike shops buy from. However, it's available on amazon... so maybe that does not really matter.
