Customer reviews
Fantastic rack 
by .. Rottenluck (Roanoke, VA United States)
This is a very well-made rack that works beautifully. The bikes are super secure, no scratches on anything (car or bikes) it's easy to install and set up and the price is good (you can get it for ~$135). The powdercoated finish is a nice touch, too.
The hitch pin is the screw type so it's a slight pain but worth it for the secure, totally quiet ride.
The rack fits a 1.25" receiver and an adapter is included to fit a 2" but I have no experience with that as my receiver is a 1.25".
I'll never go back to a frame-mount rack. (Hey, that rhymes...)
Better than the similar Swagman rack by .. Pete H. ()
The similar Swagman was OK, but had a few problems. After a year and a half we switched to this rack. Everything is more solid. The finish is better. The bikes are a little further from the car, which is nice. The square tube which goes into the hitch kicks upward, which prevents the grounding on driveways we would always get with the Swagman on our 1991 Miata.
Also, the wheel straps are extra security. We actually lost a bike off the back of the Swagman (not this rack). The top tube hook wasn't correctly ratcheted down, which can happen with tall bikes on these racks (see the reviews). Wheel straps like the one on this rack would have prevented that disaster. That said, the clamp bolts on this rack are quite secure, so it's probably safe enough to skip strapping the wheels down for short trips.
The price difference is currently about $30, but it's money well spent.
Excellent gear for the cash by .. Micah ()
I've used this rack on one long road trip and several weekender trips including a bit of offroading. The rack works great and keeps the bikes secure even over rough terrain. The bolt-style hitch pin may seem like a pain but it contributes alot to this stability- without it you'd need to add a separate stabilizer to get the same level of support for the bikes. For security I just run a cable lock thru the safety chain loop on my hitch- no need for for a locking hitch pin. My only gripe is that I can't open the hatch on my SUV- but hey, I didn't have to pay $350 either so I still give it 5 stars.
Good Choice by .. T. Mason (FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA United States)
I love this rack. You don't have to struggle trying to fit your bike (or bikes) on two poles. Easy on, easy off. And the rack holds the bike(s) very securely. One very, very important thing to remember with this rack; make sure you insert the locking pin that holds the verticle bar in the upright position. If you forget to do this your beloved bike will be securely dragged to death.
