Very happy with this bike carrier.
Strong, easy to use and enough space between bikes.
Only thing to know, bikes must be remove from the rack in order to open the rear door of the car.
That said, for the price, I highly recommand it.

Works as described. Mounts easily and holds bikes securely. We never worry taking our bikes on trips with this.

Good product that's easy to install and use. The bikes are well attached to the rack with some adjustable straps for the wheels and the frame. However, I wish there were more attachments to make it more secure. It also folds up nicely when not in use and is fairly light weight to remove and install. My main pet-peeve was that the price for the rack dropped by about 30 dollars after I had already bought it (after it had already dropped in price previously), so there appears to be a lot of pricing fluctuations with this product.

I got this because I didn't want to pay $600 for a comparable Yakima or $1,000 for a Thule. Also, I didn't want a rack that stuck out too far from the hitch. Overall, this is a good bike rack. It seems well built and is relatively lightweight.
The downside is how much effort it takes to mount bikes onto it. Unlike other models, this rack does NOT have adjustable wheel cradles (several others allow the cradles to slide left or right for bike placement). This means that if your bike's seat hits another bike's handlebars, you can't just slide it over to one side a few inches. Your only option is to find a different position for your bike. In my case, every position I tried, the high saddle on my gravel bike hit the handle bars of other bikes. I actually needed to use a hex key to lower my seat.
Also, many other racks have an upside-down "J" bar that clamps down on the bike frame. This model has straps that loop around the frame. While I think the straps may actually be more secure, they are a PAIN to attach. They are not permanently attached to the rack, so they tend to fall off the rack. They require threading through a slot on the rack,...

I just bought this two weeks ago and took it on a week long trip to FL with two bikes on it. So I havent fully tested it with four bikes, but I have put the two right next to each other and had no problems. I have an old Acura MDX with 2" hitch. It was super easy to install out of the box, 20 minutes max: 8 threaded bolts with washers. It attaches to the hitch with another bolt that required a wrench. The unit pivots to 90 degrees (with no bikes) and flat with a quick spin bolt that requires hands only and takes 15 seconds to switch back and forth. I took it off easily and stored it efficiently after the trip. Based on reviews it's much lighter than many comparable systems at under 40 lbs. There are plastic straps that easily ratchet into another plastic piece. If those break at some point, i'm sure they can be replaced. the tire pads are also plastic, but seem fairly sturdy. The pop up U bars (held up by aluminum wires you squeeze easily into a hole in the side of the base) hold the bike in place with one strap per bike. The black part appears to be powder coated steel, which meets my needs of light use. The bikes were very sturdy and barely moved after a...

I didn’t have the budget for a Kuat/Thule those would have been over $1000.
Pros: Versatility
Cons: frame straps can be a hassle since they are loose and not fixed to the frame.
This was a great looking option that checked all the boxes and some I didn’t expect. The tire holders are extendable (shorter or longer) which is something I hadn’t considered. Very sturdy and easy to install. Storage in my garage with some ladder hooks.
