$180.00 | | Strengths: | Simple/practical/stylish design, snug fit on spare tire, BAT wings adapt to any frame (may need crossbar), stabilizer bar holds bike(s)firmly and without sway-- bikes do not hit back of vehicle in transit, great customer service (called w/ question). | | Weaknesses: | None, really. It may take some trial & error to get the BAT wing fitted to your particular frame. | | Similar Products Used: | None. | | Bike Setup: | full susp i-drive | | Bottom Line: | Excellent product, I love it. Very reasonable price, easy to install, works perfectly. 10 chilis! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$150.00 | | Purchased At: | Lewis and Clark Outfitters | | Strengths: | Very sturdy and supportive. Easy to use, although some manipulation is required on some frames like the Comfort 400. Company has a super warranty (see weaknesses) | | Weaknesses: | The rubber tab that the straps attach to are a great design, but weaken quickly and tear off. Already had to replace, but when I called the company about the problem, they did not ask any questions and sent replacements for free (no shipping/handling charges). | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale Scapel, F400, and Comfort 400. | | Bottom Line: | I have really liked this bike rack. It does a great job of holding the bike(s) and I feel it is very secure. I use the rack on a Jeep Wrangler, which with the short wheel base, I get a lot of bounce, but the bikes are held securely. Very easy to use a cable lock, but because the whole rack can easily be unscrewed from the tire mount, I would not leave an expensive bike on there over night. Anyway, other than the weakness I listed, I love the rack. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$130.00 | | Strengths: | Easy to install. Visually appealing design. Rugged. Can accomodate most bikes. | | Weaknesses: | Does not easy accomodate bikes with the rear shock attached to bottom of Top Tube. | | Similar Products Used: | Yakima roof rack | | Bike Setup: | My vehicle is a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara | | Bottom Line: | Looks good on the Jeep. Holds the bike very steady. The only thing I did not like was the fact that the wheel attachment must be purchased separately. It holds the bikes nicely, even while 4 wheeling. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$80.00 | | Purchased At: | Nashbar | | Strengths: | Solid design | | Weaknesses: | Straps may not hold up. Doesn't fit some frames | | Similar Products Used: | Rhode Gear Shuttles | | Bike Setup: | Giants, two of them! SE1 and AC1 | | Bottom Line: | I like it. Good value, solid built. It doesn't carry my AC without some effort but with the addition of a Bie Beam or something like that it will be great! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
