Best 2021 Volvo XC60 Bike Racks

We have been using the Thule Bike Carrier (Item TH910XT) for over a year now, and it is wonderful! We throw our two mountain bikes on the back of our Volvo XC60...it takes only a few minutes, the bikes are sturdily secured, and off we go! Never had a problem mounting or dismounting, and always with peace of mind while we drive. Well done, etrailer.com!

The Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rake for 2 bikes is a good product. I used it to transport my mountain e-bike. I choose this particular unit because it can handle the weight 2 of bikes (non-e-bikes) and the weight of my e-bike is equivalent to weight of 2 bikes. Note: Must readjust the straps after mounting the bike to the rake.

Excellent fit (Volvo XC60) and solid construction. And after the learning curve, easy and relatively quick to install. Clearly a lot of thought went into the design of this bike rack. The additional bar (bike frame adapter) for a women’s bike is a must but easy and hassle free.

I have not taken the rack on a trip as yet. A 400-mile trip next week. On the run-through of putting it together, it was fine. Somewhat difficult on my SUV because to put in the bicycle tether to avoid someone running off with the rack, I had to raise to hatch to get it installed. The rack had to already be in place. Was nerve-racking, not knowing what would happen when I opened the automatic hatch. I look forward to using it. Only lost one star because of weight. Rather heavy. That may also mean it is strong though.

We initially purchased this rack to transport 3 adult road bikes ~1,100 miles on the back of a 2018 Volvo XC60 T8. Pros: This is much more substantial/solid than an older Yakima rack I own. It securely held the 3 bikes in place with minimal bounce or sway. The installation instructions are clear and you go online to get the specific rack settings for your vehicle. Cons: - The distance between the bike cradles is a relatively narrow 3". - The rack itself is heavy (30 lbs shipping weight) making the install a 2-person job. - For my vehicle, you install the rack using what they call "anchor mode". Instead of attaching hooks to the outside of the car and tightening straps to secure, the hooks go inside the car, you thread the straps through the top and bottom of the tailgate, and then close the tailgate. The hooks aren't "hooked" onto anything but rather are "trapped" inside. You then reconnect straps to the rack and tighten the straps while you support the rack in place. While this is secure, holding the heavy rack in place while reconnecting straps requires 2 people. Further, once attached, you CANNOT OPEN THE TAILGATE until you are ready to take the bikes AND the rack off. So if you want to put the rack on and leave it on without opening/closing the tailgate, this will work fine (we left the rack on the entire trip and got stuff out of the rear area by dropping the second row seats). But give this some consideration if (a) you're single and don't have easy access to an assistant; (b) your car requires anchor mode (you can check online first); and (c) you want easy access to the trunk/tailgate.

Way too light duty for what is advertised. It seemed to be made out of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. I would never put three bikes on that rack. I only had two bikes on the rack. While on trip through Idaho the wind was so strong that one of the bikes partially blew off the rack. We traveled 1,800 miles and upon arriving home I actually sawed the bike rack up and threw it away so that no one else would use it and cause an accident. I've already found a different brand that is HEAVY DUTY and I will stick with that brand.

This is definitely more of a 2 bike carrier vs 3 bikes. I had to take the front wheels off two bikes to get three bikes on this carrier. Also, it rubbed the paint off on the trunk of my Subaru legacy.

I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?

Very stable and simple to use bike rack that works great with my road bike AND with my 29" Big Rippers. It makes loading and unloading the bikes a snap and they are safe and secure for traveling once loaded and secured. I have already logged over a thousand miles hauling bicycles with this rack and highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Yakima roof racks but, honestly, wish I would have went with this setup for my bikes from the beginning.

This is a really good rack. We do a lot of car camping out of our Subaru Outback and I wanted a bike rack that would swing aside so we can raise the hatchback and easily access the camping gear, cooler, duffel bags, etc that we carry in back (see photo). This rack 100% solves that problem. Further, the bike hold-downs are very secure. I use them on their own for shorter trips. For a longer trip or one that may involve a rough road, I supplement them with a ratchet strap, but this is probably just unnecessary paranoia--the hold-downs are excellent. My one heads-up about this rack is that it is heavy. I am a large, strong man and can attach it myself, but I do not look forward to the chore. This is a beefy rack and the weight is unavoidable. I welcome how sturdily-built the rack is. We typically carry my normal bike and my wife's heavy e-bike on it, and the rack is totally up to the job. Highly recommended. I have zero regrets about the purchase and the investment in this rack that will serve us for many years to come. The design is pretty much perfect--I can't think of one thing I would change.

We love our RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack. The fact that it can hold our two e-bikes and swings out for rear door access makes it perfect for vanlife. Service and communication from etrailer is outstanading!

No buyer’s remorse here! After quite a bit of reading and comparing, I have no regrets about purchasing the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. Excellent product, great quality. I would purchase all over again. It is a solid rack that is esthetically impressive to boot.

Really impressed by the quality. Some minor assembly required but the factory has made assembly very easy. The rack is very sturdy & the hitch tightening assembly works really well. The rack positioning also works flawlessly and is solid. Yes it is an expensive rack but you get what you pay for here. Of course eTrailers shipping page keeps you abreast of where your package is located as it makes its way to you. As soon as UPS drops the package off at your door its immediately reflected on your orders shipping page. So you dont have to wait at home for it to arrive. Just check eTrailers online shipping page & you know when it has arrived.

Package received yesterday. Instructions clear and we got the bikes up within 30 minutes. One ladies e-bike meant it wasn't easy to find a suitable rack but this one does the job with the additional frame adapter we got with it. The rack folds nicely to open the boot of our car whilst the bikes are on. It is a bit more fiddly than a comparable Thule, but at half the prize, who complains?

Great bike rack and an awesome price. No complaints I would recommend for sure.

Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP

For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.
