 "One of the best hitch bike racks you can buy." 2009-10-15
By Bearcat (Ohio)
This was the first hitch bike rack I have ever purchased. After doing much research I decided to purchase this rack after reading all the good reviews. I wanted a rack where I would not have to worry about scratching the paint on our mountain bikes as has happened with the bike racks where you set the frames on to the bike rack tubes. This rack was very easy to put together as it only took about 15 minutes. Installation on my hitch was a breeze. I recommend the Thule hitch lock as that is what I'm using with it. Once I get the rack on my hitch I put our mountain bikes on. Before installing the hitch I was a little skeptical how sturdy it would be. After getting the bikes on it and driving around to various paths and trails I must say this rack is rock solid. Hardly any sway and the bikes do not move. This is the first rack I have owned where I feel comfortable going on the highway for long trips without the fear of bikes falling off. Overall I am very impressed. This rack is expensive but you get what you pay for and it's great. Highly recommended.

 "Great Bike Rack" 2009-08-18
By Dew (Denver, CO)
At first I was a little leery spending so much money on a bike rack. I'm amazed at how easy it is to use. It literally takes seconds to pop your bike on the rack and lock it down for travel. I've had the rack 2 months now and I'm glad that I bought it. I would buy another one in a heartbeat and would recommend it to friends. It was easy to mount. Don't forget to buy the locking hitch pin which is sold separately.

 "Nice Rack" 2009-04-28
By E. Young Jr. (NH)
Debated on what style rack and decided that this was the best option for me. Being a mt. biker this was my choice for the ease of transporting. Mt bikes have all sorts of frame designs and shock placements. Buddy has a roof rack and seemed more of a pain than I wanted. Researched and decided on this. Putting it together wasn't bad. Not difficult to remove from the car. A little heavy but easier than my Thule Speedway. Another reason is the 2 bike add on which I also purchased. Works great. Also bought the locks to protect my investment. Real happy with everything.

 "Best bike rack on the market by far." 2009-04-16
By Ricardo Aguilar-chavez (Fresno, CA)
I own a 2008 Santa Cruz Nomad and 2005 Jamis Dakar XLT 1.0. If anyone is familiar with these bikes they would recognize the frame design and know that any other type of rack system would simply not work. I previously had tried a Yakima and it just didn't cut it for me. The Thule 916 T2 system is excellent, very well built and easy to load your bikes. I highly recommend as the best bike rack out in the market today. Very well worth the price.

 "Durable, easy-to-use rack" 2008-12-26
By C. Kennedy (Norman, OK)
We have owned this rack for about two years now and it is amazingly easy to use. The rack isn't light, so expect to work a bit to get it onto your hitch, but once on, it is very convenient. If you have a rear hatch, you can fold the rack down and get things out of the back without removing your bikes (not that it would be hard to take them off and put them back on, putting both bikes on the rack takes about two minutes at the most.

 "Better than the similar Swagman rack" 2009-10-13
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.

 "Great Rack" 2009-09-24
By Gary Brooks
Bikes sit solidly in the rack supported by the wheels instead of hanging from a single point of contact on the frame. Very easy assembly (only needed a small adjustable wrench). I was a little concerned about lock pins staying in place during travel but have had no problems to date. The pins could be better wired to the rack (stronger wire used). I have cut one of the wires when it got pinched in the pivot point raising the tire holders in the vertical position. The ability to lower or lay down the rack is extremely useful. I highly recommend.

 "What a great bike rack!" 2009-09-23
By D. LaRoche (Murfreesboro, TN USA)
Our last rack was the strap-on kind. It took forever to take on and off and the straps damaged our brake cables and constantly had to be tightened. We changed my wife's station wagon and decided to install a hitch solely for this bike rack. What a good decision!



Expect 30 minutes to put the rack together from the box. The instructions are diagram only, but I didn't find it too difficult. The hardest part of hooking it to your car is wrenching in the bolt which secures the rack to your hitch. It was a little cumbersome as my wife's car is small (1.5" hitch) with not much room to work with, and we didn't have a lug wrench to tighten the bolt. I found that, if you lifted the rack with your left hand to take pressure off the hitch, you could mostly screw in the bolt with your fingers.



Putting the bikes on is very easy. You don't have to lift them more than a foot or so from the ground. The wheels fit right into the easily adjusted wheel wells and an included velcro strap secures them. Another L-shaped bar slides over the top bar of the bike to hold it in place. The center-of-weight of the bikes is very low and that gives more stability than other hitch-mounted racks I have seen. I feel very comfortable going down the interstate with both bikes.



The hitch rack itself folds up and locks in place for storage. The whole system fits nicely in the back of the wagon. There is a plastic adapter for those who need to fit onto a 2" hitch.

 "Good Choice" 2009-09-03
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.
