4.0 out of 5 starsGets the jobe done for long road trips.
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 30, 2023
Took it from Toronto to Halifax (~1700 km) for my move. Got the jobe done. One of the two understraps came off once and I dragged it on the highway for a while. There was no damage, I simply reattached it.

It did not make me feel uneasy as it is designed such that if both understraps fail, the worse case scenario is it'll scratch your car a little. The top straps will never fail. Good design.

Had to get a little creative with strapping the bikes to keep them static with its own bands. Also used some soft protection material at the contact points with my car. Easy to install. Very happy with purchase.

3.0 out of 5 starsProblem with fitting two bikes on a rack made for two bikes.
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 18, 2019
This bike rack is very good for one bike if you do not want to remove the pedals from both bicycles prior to travel. I noticed that my 60 cm road bike would not fit without the pedals touching the car. If the pedals are removed, two bikes can comfortably fit on this rack during travel. If you are using a road bike that has been fitted to your body, you may not want to adjust your pedals every time you plan to travel, if that is the case, this rack will probably not work for you if you don't want your pedals to hit the car on the highway. There is some movement during travel that may be cause for concern while travelling at 100 km an hour, and I recommend that users fix both bikes to the rack (with extra straps or cords not supplied in the box). I did this by straping the front wheel to the inside stem of the bike and one of the verticle bars of the rack itself. This allowed for significantly less movement on the highway, and in general, more peace of mind. Because I have read other reviewers claiming that the metal clips could damage the trunk hood, I wrapped some tape around the hooks that attach to the trunk to minimize possible damage. I can report that the hood was not damaged.

The sides and bottom buckles can’t hold the rope tighten, if it can change to metal same as the top one then even more perfect

Love the Bike Rack
This bike rack has a very simple yet solid design, very easy to install and put the bike on it. Once you are done it folds for easy storage and I always keep it in my trunk it does not take a lot of space even though I have a hybrid trunk. My only complaint is that the bars for placing your bike are a little tight and can not be extended, it is hard to fit two adult bikes in that tight space. Although you can fit two bikes they will be too tight together and may get stuck or hit each other on the way. That being said for one bike or one adult and one small bike it's great. Used it with one bike on 401 highway and drove around 110 km/h with no sounds no vibrations, at times I even forget that I have the bike back there. 100% recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Holds my bike securely
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 12, 2022
Style: 3-bikeVerified Purchase
I was a little uneasy at first because the bottom and side straps were difficult to tighten into a secure hold - I would have preferred the types of clamps that are used for the top straps. But, in the end, the top straps were so secure that I never had cause to worry while driving. The bike was secure the whole way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great so far ...
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 5, 2019
Style: 4-bikeVerified Purchase
Product is great. I used it within the city with 3 bikes and held sturdy. Will be making a long trip camping via highways with 4 bikes this weekend, fingers crossed. The only issue I had was with a broken snap on foot, it arrived broken in pieces (as pictured). Amazon of course offered a return and re-purchase with a discount, but I needed the rack for this weekend, and I could not wait 5 days for delivery. They offered 15% off, which came to about $35 CAN. But it cost me $35 USD to get a replacement snap on foot. So I lose a little in the long run, but it seemed easier than having to re-pack and ship out the whole rack, and wait another week for a new one. Other than that experience, so far so good.

.... I've used it with 4 bikes on two long distance camping trips. Help up wonderfully. No complaints. I'd have give this 5 stars if it wasn't for the broken piece that cost me out of pocket to replace because of the hassles of returning via Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to install and fits most vehicles!
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 10, 2020
Style: 4-bikeVerified Purchase
This is the only bike rack (without a hitch) that can hold up to 4 bikes. It works great and easily holds up to 3 bikes. If you have 4 adult bikes to load, you will need to carefully adjust each in order for them to all fit. It will be a very tight fit for 4 bikes. Also, make sure your vehicle is sturdy enough to support the weight of 4 bikes on the rack. A fully loaded rack can also scratch/dent your bumper and attachment points. Overall, this is the only trunk rack that can hold up to 4 bikes!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not sure I recommend it for Ford Escape 2018
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 17, 2019
Style: 4-bikeVerified Purchase
Thanks to those who posted the car compatibility chart! Since the 2018 Ford Escape was on it, I bought the unit. 1) installation - the bottom fasteners cannot go under the car, because it's a rubber bumper. 2) It can't go under the door because it's a wide base, not thin door. Almost a right angle. 3) had to do it the last way- fastening it by closing the trunk door on it. Oh well, at least less chance of getting stolen! It's hard to put small bikes on it. For bikes without a horizontal bar, you need the extra piece, or your bike will stick out at weird and wide angles. I used it only with 2 bikes at this time. Not sure if I trust it with 4...too much bouncing...BUT o did manage to drive 100km with 2 bikes..

4.0 out of 5 stars It seems like it would be fine for more bikes
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 29, 2016
Style: 4-bikeVerified Purchase
This was the only model that I could find that worked with the Mazda 3 (2013) that holds more more than 2 bikes. I think it's because the trunk has an angular curve that most rack models cannot adapt to. I've only used it with 1 bike so far, and it was completely stable. It seems like it would be fine for more bikes. I would recommend you use bungee straps around the lower part of the bike so that you attach the bike to the rack -- this prevents your bike moving when going over bumps. There was some lift of the lower part of the bike when I went over a "wavy" road, which convinced me to add bungees -- and it seemed to solve the problem. You have to also COMPLETELY WASH your trunk and foot pads of the rack to prevent scratches. I learned this the hard way.

The bottom straps that attach to the underside of the car don't work with the Mazda 3, instead you have to hook them under the trunk.
