Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Great product for the price. Pretty easy to set up. Only issue I have is my mountain bike, which is an XL frame with 27 inch wheels, is pushing the limits of the base. Wish this rack was just 4-5 inches longer that way you have the perfect overlap amount in the middle without pushing the current frame to the limits. With that said it does hold my bike just have to find the sweet spot. But this fits my son’s youth bike perfectly!
As always with products I buy from e-Trailer, this item is exactly as advertised and works perfectly. Easy assembly, I bought 2 but only installed one until I check the fit with my rooftop carrier.

Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
Installed two Inno Tire Hold Roof Rack Roof Bike Racks semi-permanently on to our Space Trailer cargo racks along with mounts for our sea kayak. Installation was straight forward, following the included instructions. We have taken it on trips of a couple hundred miles and everything stays tight and secure. Choose the Inno rack due to its 50lb weight capacity which accommodates our Trek Lift E-Bikes that come in at 45lbs.
I reserve 5 in any review I do for disruptive, mind-blowing, revolutionary, etc. This bike rack is not that. But, four stars means that this product is great ...and I am one picking SOB who does A LOT of research before buying anything. In fact, I ended up telling the owner of the local roof rack store (they sell only racks) about these racks. Anyway, they work kind of like a ski boot binding, opens like a clam shell and the bike pops into the rack and locks down tight very easily. No removing any wheels or anything else to do. I had imagined this very design before I found these racks because it's so obviously the best design. Anyway, as you can see from the picture, they hold two very heavy electric mountain bikes on top of the M3 neat as a pin! -- It's kind of the only rack to get. ....you;re welcome ;-)
Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2014 Chevrolet Sonic
Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Sonic we're going to be test-fitting the Thule Circuit XT Rooftop Bike Rack, part number TH526XT. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. How this bike actually attaches to the rack, we're not going to have any frame contact at all. Instead, it's going to grip it by the forks up here with a skewer mount. On the skewer mount here, you can replace this plastic piece here with a Thule lock core, so you can actually secure your bike to the rack and prevent theft and tampering. We also have this wheel strap here in the back that is adjustable the length of the bike rack to accommodate different size bikes.
Does it Fit? Testing the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack on a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic
Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, we're going to be test fitting the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Rooftop Bike Rack, part number RRRBC050. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go and take a closer look and show off some of the features. How this actually attaches to the bike rack, we're going to have three points of contact with absolutely no frame contact at all. We're going to have this wheel hook up at the front here and then two wheel straps for either tires. What's unique about this is you can actually keep the entire bike together as opposed to a lot of other bike racks where you'd have to remove the front wheel and secure it by the fork mounts. With the bike on here, I'll go ahead and open up the trunk real quick to show you have absolutely no clearance issues whatsoever between the bike rack and the trunk or hatch. The wheel hook itself is lockable, so once you actually secure your bike up here you can lock it down and there will be no theft or tampering of your bike. Let's go ahead and take it off and set it aside.
