Rola outdoes itself with this bike carrier! So many great features are included that you won't need anything else. It has a built in cable lock that hides in the bike rack frame when not in use. The rack folds down for easy access to the vehicle's cargo area. Sway during travel is reduced by using a third clamp that attaches to the bike's upright bar. Lastly, but not least, the whole thing folds up for storage anywhere.

This is a sturdy rack and offers lots of extras that other brands don't include, such as the self-stowing locking cable and anti-sway loops. The folding mechanism works great, allowing me to access the cargo area on my 2005 Honda Odyssey. The retention straps are probably not as well designed as competitors like Thule but work fine. The rubber straps on the Rola are very stiff and consist of oblong holes that are stretched over retaining hooks. The straps can be difficult to remove off the retainer hooks if tightly pulled over the bike frame, and I think, from looking at the Thule flanged-headed pegs system at the bike shop, that the Thule is probably does not present this problem and is better designed--of course the Thule is more base money and then one has to buy the locking cables and such. Regardless, I would probably still buy this Rola rack again--very solid construction. If you are loading a bike on and off very often and/or daily, then it may be worth buying the Thule to save one's patience regarding the better retaining system. I've used this rack to tote a smaller 14" framed Giant Boulder bike and my 17.5" Trek 7100. Getting the Giant Boulder loaded is tougher when a bottle cage is attached but certainly doable.
