Great Rack
I am here to sing the praises of this rack; it far exceeds my expectations. I am one that does my due diligence and was very hesitant to purchase this but time and cost finally made me forge ahead. We needed a rack to use on our upcoming trailer trip, and once I received it found it wasn't recommended for RV's but I liked it's construction and used it anyway. Our bikes have fenders, and with some mild modifications found it works perfect with absolutely no rubbing on the frame. it's VERY solid, the bikes ride extremely secure. I love the lock which is again very secure, there is no wobble at the hitch connection, and the tires seat perfectly in the rack everytime. We took a 2000 mile trip, the ease of loading the bikes (we do not have heavy ebikes) is amazing, running a cable and lock for security simple, it's literally a 30 second load and go. I would highly recommend this rack, I am not disappointed. Attached are photos of modifications to add a stud (modified bolt) on the arms that mate with a hole on our bike's rear racks where a reflector would have mounted; makes for an extremely secure/positive connection.

Great on Highways
I went a 1000 mile trip. Mostly drove at 80mph and it didn’t give me any trouble. Installation is easy and quality is great!

Another Review
After poking around online, I realized that buying this roof bike mount was going to be a leap of faith. I needed a mount that was big enough for my Trek Marlin 5 and I didn’t want to be relying on my buddies to help me transport my bike long distances. I will admit that I bought this for the price and the delivery time for a Thule had me feeling impatient. Still, there aren’t enough reviews to make the potential experience concrete.Installation was very easy. The instructions are clear. The packaging includes a decent 13mm tire-iron style wrench to help with installation. A very good and satisfying experience. Sizing it to my bike was pretty fun. The bike mount itself seems to be of good quality. It looks sleek, there are no corny labels that put you on blast, and it is easy to adjust. Only time will tell, especially with the extremely cold-wet conditions of Midwestern winters.The ratcheting arms are solid. They don’t fully flush to the frame in the stowed position. That might be a deal-breaker for some. I don’t really care. I just don’t know if relying solely on the security of the arms to hold the bike in place is a good idea so I purchased some Velcro straps to help stabilize the bicycle onto the mount itself.Driving around town with this thing was a little sketchy at first. I know nothing about the manufacturer and again, there aren’t enough reviews for this mount. However, my bicycle didn’t fall off. Awesome. I hope this helps anyone who’s on the fence about buying this roof mount.TLDR; READ SPECS!! Easy to install. Decent quality. Recommend buying tire straps.

Secure rooftop bike carrier
Worked well on our 2 week trip to Grand Canyon and Utah national parks. Mounted to standard cross bars. With U bolts will not fold flat when closed but not a big deal. Minimal wind noise when highway driving on our vehicle. Did have to tighten the nuts of the u- bolts after driving the first couple of days then they remained tight afterwards

Pretty Solid Bike Roof Rack
We were able to mount this on our 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness. A Trek Marlin 7 bicycle fits. Instructions are pretty easy to follow. This offers two different versions of installation. When not in use, the arms don't fold all the way down so it can be a slight eye sore if that type of stuff bothers you. Bike does shake a bit while driving, but I think any roof rack may have that issue. Otherwise, pretty solid rack. We have not transported long distances yet. Will be purchasing a second.

Not great for small bikes, some plastic on key areas
For the money, if you don’t have thousands into your bike, this works. Easy to assemble, the main structure is metal. There is a rhino rack on Amazon for $210 right now (retail $300) that works better. The tire contact points for 20” wheels just didn’t make me confident it would hold on the roof. Maybe bigger tires it’s better as other reviews have stated. But still, better options exist for another $100.

Great rack at a great price!
Bought two for my sons Subaru Outback and they work great! He has an XL frame, full-suspension and it fits right in there. Super easy to secure the bike with the ratcheting arms that hug the tires. Would recommend!
