Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Excellent and prompt customer service! When I first ordered my product it wasn’t in stock— staff were quick to let me know and offered me comparable products. I ended up waiting for my original order and shipping quick and they stayed in touch with ideas! Thule: The instructions could be a little more detailed. I ended up watching YouTube videos to help me instal. Overall it was easy, and this was the first rack I’ve ever installed and I did it by myself! I was surprised to learn the bike rack is in no way secured inside your vehicle, so.. I store it in my garage when it’s on.
Positive: The product is well thought out and works for a wide range of automotive vehicles. It comes with interesting dampers that i think work. Instructions seem to be translated from another language, but are quite good, accompanying pictures make installation straightforward. A test drive over speed bumps shows that the rack will support the bike for all travel needs. It can be disassembled , collapsed and stored in the trunk. Downside: The rack is made for the classic triangular shaped frame: horizontal cross bar, "male" bike. For bikes without the horizontal bar, mounting is a little less satisfactory. Such a bike can only be mounted on the outside mounts. Cannot use the damper on one side. Picture shows the mounting. as to a design solution, maybe brackets could be replaced with smaller profile, some adjustability? however, as it is, vibration control is good and adjustability with smaller profile would have vibration concerns.
Saris Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2014 Toyota Prius v
Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline right here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at our Saris Bones EX 2 Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack right here on our 2014 Prius V. So you have your Toyota Prius V and you also wanna carry around bikes. Now I would always recommend first off the bat, please get a hitch-mounted bike rack, just because you get a little bit more stability that way and it's easier to use. But if by any chance you don't have a hitch or can't get a hitch onto your Prius V, since it usually doesn't come with one, your other options are to either get a roof-mounted bike rack or a trunk-mounted bike rack. Now your Prius is also really good with the gas mileage, so I understand some people don't wanna put their bikes on your roof and a trunk-mounted bike rack is your next best option.
What our customers are saying:
"Everyone that bought before me was right! I got my rack in time for my next days off and putting it together was fast too. And I'm a grandma!! Thank you for being fast and honest! You beat anyone in my town hands down!"
