Most Popular Locks Not Included for 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek

Am a casual user of this bike rack and have been very impressed with the ability to fit many styles of vehicle due to its adjustable design. It installs easily and quickly. I have only used it for short local trips but the securing straps' clips seem to do a good job of not damaging the car though they grasp the edges of the trunk/hatch door. The rack seems to better fit bikes with more "open" adult-size frames, because bikes with tight corner angles in the frame or smaller kids' bikes have a hard time fitting over the rubber frame mounting pads. If there was a way to adjust the lateral distance between the frame mounts it would allow these bikes to fit better.

Easy to put together, easy to take apart. Worked perfectly

This bike rack has exceptional design! It's very stable and easy to use. We would highly recommend this!

Bought this to carry two mountain bikes on the back of my XV Crosstrek. The unit is simple to install, and very sturdy once installed. Had a few small challenges during installation. Some of the nut plates internal to the square tube were not well aligned with the holes, so needed a small rubber mallet and screwdriver to knock the nut plates into alignment so bolts could be threaded in. Also, when first mounting the bicycles, found I had the vertical locking bars incorrectly installed. It is important to put the locking bar with the lock arm on below (install first), and the shorter arm locking arm above for most installations where the two bikes are approximately the same size.

After ordering I contacted the company to determine when product would be shipped. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rack shipped quick and was easy to install. I would highly recommend etrailer.

Works great! Easy to set up and get on the road.

Great value that meets my needs to haul 3 bikes on back of my SUV. I did not want to have a hitch installed solely to mount a bike carrier so this makes sense. Product was delivered and within 15 mins I had it assembled and was driving to the bike shop. All the clips that mount to the rear hatch are coated so no concern over scratching. All but the bottom 2 clips slide in with the hatch shut; the bottom two requiring opening the hatch and shutting to get them in.....a little cumbersome but still just a few seconds to take care of. The bike rack hangs far enough out so the bike closest to the car is still 6" away from bumper. But, when braking, the bike does swing forward and hit the rear bumper. Positioning the pedals to avoid having one aim square at the bumper helped. This may be a common issue on this kind of rack; it was not something I experienced on an older spare tire mounted rack where the bike was snug up to the spare so no swaying. All in all a quality rack that is sturdy when mounted and comes on and off with ease.

The Thule rack worked great for carrying our bikes on my Subaru Crosstrek.

Really happy with how quickly it arrived. Very easy to install and get my bike on right away.

I love how easy this was to set up and how easy it connects to the hitch. And because it's so lightweight, I can easily install it myself.

So far really great! I love the stability my bike has on the rack, fit for my 2021 Honda Civic, and the quality of the material engineered into the design to prevent damage to the cars paint/parts.

Works great even using an electric bike like my Aventon Soltera.

Good product. However, the one I ordered was supposed to fit the aero cross bars on 2018 Subaru roof racks and it doesn't. In fact the fit is very sloppy and looks unsafe. Sending mine back if they can't find a clamp that fullly contacts all surfaces.

Fits my whispbar crossbars (a lot cheaper than the whispbar-specific rack) and is pretty simple and straightforward to use. I've owned a couple of other universal sort of racks (fit lots of bikes, fit lots of crossbars) and this one is a good one both in terms of simple initial installation on your vehicle and also simple loading/unloading of bike.
