Thule Gateway Pro Bicycle Carrier for Vehicle Trunks

Grant Wells: Once the initial setup is done it's a piece of cake.

DjeneDjene: Der Träger kam zwar im Originalkarton an, es fehlte jegliche Umverpackung, was an sich zu begrüßen wäre. Der Träger weisst aber Kratzspuren, eine Schraube lag loose im Karton, und zwei Klappen für die Radbefestigung fehlen. Wir sind enttäuscht. Das geht zurück.

Amazon Customer: I used this to take my bike to our vacation house in Florida. I was worried as it looked a little flimsy, but it worked great. 600 miles and no issue.

Doctor A: This was surprisingly sturdy but very challenging to remove the bikes.

heatherb: This rack was great and very sturdy just didn't work for my fat tire bike

Randy Miller: Very high quality product, as usual from Thule, but it doesn't work on the Volvo XC60. The side straps are required to keep it from rocking, and the Volvo tailgate does not have an edge that will hold the strap hooks. All the metal edges are at angles, or place the strap hook against expensive plastic tail light lens or the glass window. I also had big concern with the top straps as they will probably rub on the spoiler and ruin the paint. I'm going to have to install a hitch if I want a rack for my wife's bike on the Volvo.

DLDL: Once I figured out a few key things, this rack turned out to be very effective with three or less bikes. We travelled about 800km in total at expressway and passing speeds, large bumps, and corners and nothing moved, everything stayed in place. But there were some caveats.

First, the design is generally good, it's quite sturdy, and the instructions are relatively clear. Take note that the two side straps are the most important in keeping the top part against the rear window. The top straps over the spoiler steady and help centre the rack and don't appear to have damaged the spoiler like I feared, even when quite tight. However, they will not go tight enough to push the rack against the window to steady it; the side straps easily did this. I did add two straps wrapped around the end of the bike holders and my RAV4's roof racks for extra security but am still unsure if they were necessary (green in the image). They did snug the rack up against the rear window, so I would likely use them again.

The bikes are affixed quite nicely, but the straps and ties included are not the easiest to use, especially when removing them, plus they could get lost -- this...

Last Thule product I ever purchase I never even got the bikes on. Unfortunately, I bought it from their Amazon store where they do not mention the "Fit my car" feature, and of course I only find out it does not fit after the return window has closed. Then, the instructions are utter garbage. It's just pictures, no text, that they claim is for "ease of understanding". 1. You have technically unlimited room to add translations for ever language, you are just trying to save on paper. 2. Adding text in one language is better than none. 3. You can at least have the text online, which you don't. 4. You are not IKEA, I am not building a side table. 100s, if not 1000s of dollars of equipment are being placed on this rack. If this falls off on a highway, it could kill someone. The pictures are simply not enough. *Listen to your customers* Not a fan of the buckle that cinches the belt which connects side-bottom. The metal hooks also have no padding, so expect some scratches on your car. Lastly, we have a difficult time with getting 2 bikes on there: the handlebars of one bike...

Alejandro Pulido: Tengo tres bicicletas, en total pesan 30kg. Los materiales con los que está hecho son de muy alta calidad y resistencia. Me fascinó su portablidad y la seguridad con que las puedo llevar. La instalación y el desmontaje en mi sedan es super sencilla y rapidisima. Aunque es para 3 bicicletas, no ocupa mucho espacio en la cajuela.
Tiene un candado para la tercera bicicleta lo que la hace aun mas seguro.
Si estas pensando en comprarte un rack, no dudes en invertir en este. No te arrepentirás, te lo aseguro.

Mariner13: Thule makes great carriers. We have both a kayak carrier and this bike carrier. The bike carrier is very sturdy, easy to use and doesn’t move or bounce around during transport. You can put your bikes on with no anxiety about them falling off! The attachment straps take a little trial and error to work correctly but you’ll figure it out! Spend the extra money and invest in a well made Thule product. You won’t regret it!

By the way, do your research on the Thule website before you order. Thule will show you what model carriers will fit on your vehicle. If it doesn’t fit it’s not the manufactures fault!
