Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
The Rhino RBC035 bike rack works great. It's low profile is great without bike, and its had no issues keeping full suspension bike stable at highway speeds. Etrailer was great to order through. Super fast and responsive.
Great product, super easy to install, and sturdy. IF YOU ARE USING THIS FOR A MOUNTAIN BIKE, they tend to have wider hubs and/or thicker axles that WILL NOT WORK with the skewer and sleeve provided. You have to buy a rhino rack thru axle adapter which is an additional $XXX/per and a different size thru axle sleeve which is $XX/per. I just wish it came with a more universal fork hookup from the start or a cheaper option to change sizes.

Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Exactly as described, great product. Fast turnaround after order.
I've used the carrier 3 times now for local travel (around 40 miles round trip) and am happy with the purchase. Really like the zip strips that keep the bike securely attached with minimal movement. Also like how solid the bike carrier is; it feels premium for sure. For dislikes, it's hard to mount the carrier so it doesn't rest on the plastic bumper of my 2016 Toyota Camry. When it's mounted, it's resting securely on the trunk but once weighted down, it does put some pressure on the bumper and reveals small dimples on the bumper when removed (hardly noticeable but there). Also make sure to review the manual and online site with your cars respective settings. Do not rely on etrailer's videos or even those from Yakima. For my car, both sites show using the top hooks but the online fit settings clearly show to use the them in "anchor" mode. Oddly, Yakima's YouTube video even showed the user/installer scrolling through the online websites vehicle specific settings on her cell phone; I paused the video and it says anchor mode. Would buy again.
What our customers are saying:
"Sent out an e-mail to you earlier this week asking which hitch woudld be the best choice for installing on a 2000 Venture van for hauling a bike rack with two bikes. You suggested the one that would be easiest to install..received in a matter of days..installation went great ..very well thought out instructions. Everything went smooothly and the hitch is up nice and snug..doesn't stick out..looks great."
