Strengths:
Awesome rack if you have a truck. I didn't want to attach anything to my truck bed permanently so I thought this was a great idea. Holds bikes great. I've driven on tons of long trips with this rack and haven't seen my bike waiver at all. I take it out when I'm not using it and when I ride it stores nicely inside my truck to prevent theft.
Weaknesses:
A bit pricey, but other than that nothing.

Bottom Line:
This is a great rack if you don't want anything permanently attached to your truck bed. For the expensive price I think it was a great investment. Have transported my bike and many friends bikes on rides with this rack.

Strengths:
Quick to set up, dont have to attach to your truck.
Weaknesses:
Only stable if you're going four blocks or so. Dont plan on taking any long trips or if you take a curvy road to your favorite trail, forget it.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Buy this rack only if you are taking your bike around the block. For $120 you would be better off buying the individual locks that you mount to your bed and putting on a lock. Bottomline is that this is a rip off.

Performance X-PORT pick-up rack.
Bike Setup:
2001 Stumpjumper FSR-XC. Full XTR except RaceFace Crank. Spinery Xyclone Rims with Specialized Armadillo Tires. Thompson Stem and Seatpost with Selle Italia Pro-Link Gel Saddle.
Bottom Line:
Easy to install and remove as it uses straps that are held in place as the tailgate is closed. No need to drill holes or mount hardware. Also nice to be able to lock it up in your truck when you reach your destination. Easy to adjust. Won't slip or slide around in the bed of your truck and I have a plastic bedliner in mine. Great quality product. Got lucky and got mine for $40.00 as they were closing them out at Colorado Cyclist. They normally retail for $120.00. If you have a pick-up this is the rack for you. Holds 2 bikes.
