    Really a fine product and much easier for a septuagenarian to load onto a tray rack than lift up unto my Yakima and bungee down secure.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    I purchased this rack because I didn't like how heavy the T2 Pro XTR was. I also like the dual arms to secure my bike to the rack. I have used only one of the bike trays and left the other tray in the box in order to reduce the weight on the rack even more. This rack is very easy to move around and secure to the car.

    Currently using this rack right now for our trip to the desert from Co. Super simple to function and reasonably light weight for a rack like this. Can't get easier to put bikes up on and securely holds the bikes in place. A definite winner, get one when you can.

    I got mine last month and used it shortly after getting it to bring my bike 400 miles from NC to PA through the mountains of WV. No issues whatsoever. Simple and easy to use. Very sturdy.

    This track is super light and amazingly stable. The expanding receiver insert does an amazingly job both locking and stabilizing the rack. All of my bikes, road, mountain and hybrid mount in seconds. The built in cable locks are quickly accessed and put in to use. There's a very good reason I have three friends with this identical rack.

    This rack has left me stranded several times. The arms use plastic fittings that become brittle over time and break. I am currently warrantying this rack for the 3rd time in 2 years. The lack of basic replacement parts is also a drag. I use this rack to carry very expensive bicycles and I cannot trust it anymore. I plan to sell this rack when it's repaired so I can buy a higher quality product. Not what I expected from a rack at this cost.

    I needed a good rack for transporting my carbon fiber triathlon bike. This rack is better than I anticipated it would be. Very solid - no movement at all. Great locking features built in. I highly recommend this rack.

    Love this bike rack! Bought a Kuat; what a mistake. Returned and got this. My bike fell off the Kuat due to a wheel strap that broke while driving down the road and was ruined. This rack is 1000% better than the Kuat. I originally bought the single bike rack, and am now buying this 2 bike version. Can't go wrong with this rack.
