RockyMounts BrassKnuckles Roof Mounted Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Black
l Low profile, holds the bikes in place and very easy to put the bikes on the rack. Also, very east install.
Great rack, about to buy another one. Also bought a trailer hitch that we installed ourselves. In the process of purchasing a roof cage with bike mounts. Everything I have gotten off of the site is great. Had 2 hitches installed by you guys and everything works great. Definitely recommend.

Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Bolt On - 15 mm Thru-Axle Skewer
Cheap alternative compared to having to buy a 9mm thru axle mount for the utili-track in my Nissan Frontier AND THEN having to buy an adapter for that! For under $10 I bought some parts from a local hardware store and made this mount fit the track. It's sturdy, and high quality.
I used a few of these fork mount options to build a truck bed bike rack. They've been excellent and were easy to work with(also budget friendly.) I found that the 100mm width worked well with some 3-d printed adapters I made to fit wider forks as well(that way I have more flexibility.) Would highly recommend.

Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
I just assembled this rack and loaded my bikes. I immediately saw a number of flaws in the design I didn't see in any of my investigating or review videos, including etrailers on this rack. Thinking I did something wrong, I went back and checked out another [online video] review I hadn't before and wish I had. This video shows all the flaws I noticed after my installation perfectly. This review is dead on. I have purchased it, unfortunately, so I'm stuck with it. Knowing the flaws, I hope I can make it work satisfactorily. Do your self a favor and view [all review] videos before you decide to buy.
It's quite expensive bike rack which made in China with problematic quality control. I have to disassemble one of the bike bases in order to remove the metal shavings inside of the end of the arm which were interfering with cable lock preventing it get fully retracted into the tube. Inside tube, there are no coating and metal started to rust already. If you leave it mounted on vehicle and this thing gets into the rain, this will greatly accelerate the rusting process. And rusting is not covered by warranty as stated in different post. So you warned... When I told etrailer about the quality problems... Customer support answer was hilarious. Quote from Odelia K. : "I am sorry but I do not know where you may be able to order this for shipping to the UK." Btw, they just shipped my order to GA, USA... where did I mention UK? I have unpleasant experience with etrailer.com. I would not recommend it.

Hollywood Racks Baja 2 Bike Carrier - Fixed Arms - Trunk Mount
I received the bike rack timely and in good condition. We installed it to my Jeep Liberty without a problem. We were surprised at the quality of this product and how sturdy it was. We have not put the bikes on yet, but in a couple of weeks we intend to go riding along the beach. Thanks for a great product. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great bike rack.
Received a severely damaged and poorly taped-up Thule box inside an etrailer.com box. The product was clearly damaged and repackaged before shipping.

Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms
Seems quite sturdy. Retaining straps are a pain to get through the buckles. Recommend setting the rack on a flat surface, I used the truck tailgate, to start the straps through the buckles. Otherwise an easy install , fits tight on the spare tire. I got this to carry our folding wheeled walkers also known as roller-a-raters . Moving them outside will free up a lot of room for the fur baby .
Good do not use it much as we have managed to carry our walkers inside. Still a well buolt rac.
Good value for the money. Easy to install. Less than 15 minutes.

Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier - Steel - 58-1/4" x 41" - 165 lbs
The Rhino Rack XTray Pro assembled quickly and easily. It was a perfect fit for my 2020 Subaru Outback Limited XT. Jessica C was a pleasure to work with, she answered all my questions regarding the fit of the rack and she shipped it quickly. It was also a great price for a steel rack. Thank you!!!
The Rhino Rack has been the perfect addition to my Outback. It looks great, and I love the built-in through-axel bike mounts. It's nice not to have to have an additional mount for my bicycles! Is this the perfect cargo basket?
Still one of my favorite and most useful accessories on my vehicle! My bike stays in place, and its very easy to mount.

Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms
The Malone rack adjusts to fit my 2017 Trax really snugly and securely. Once we learned how to configure the bikes for best fit, everything traveled without movement. The only downside is that this system seems designed for narrow road bikes rather than the mountain and hybrid bikes we own. Although the anti-sway cradles are sufficiently wide for mountain tires, the close proximity of the individual bike setups sometimes cause a strap to pull loose during travel, so we keep the bikes cabled to the rack frame. We are able to make it work. For narrower bikes, I would recommend this rack without reservation.
I was really surprised how sturdy this bike rack is! On my first test run on my Toyota RAV4 I had two bikes on it and they didn't even wiggle a bit! Great product! Also, I've included pics on how to load women's/girl's bikes. I loaded them on backwards and used the "anti-sway" bar to go around the front tire and it worked like a dream!! I highly recommend!

Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Frame Mount
We love this rack. Both my wife and I use it all the time. I can mount and remove it in less than 5 minutes. I often transport 2 substantial ebikes. When we ride together, either of us is able to load and unload both of our bikes in less than 8 minutes. This is a solid rack and the price was definitely right. And when not in use it folds up neatly behind the bumper.
YOU HAVE LOTS TO OFFER! And a whole lot of videos to help a research geek like me find the right fit With so many different types bikes and car models out there I wonder how you keep it all straight. This is my second go around ordering from you. You have my car dialed in with what works with out a hitch (no pun intended) In fact you did have a hitch for my little Honda Fit! Now that I now have 2 electric bikes too heavy for my older bike rack the new rack works very well. Thanks ..Off to the hills.

Hollywood Racks SR2 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount
I researched several spare tire bike racks to find what I was looking for and decided to purchase this Hollywood 2 bike carrier. Ordering was easy and carrier arrived in 2 business days as promised. Very reasonable shipping charges. SR2 is very well made and installation instructions were clear. I was able to install the SR2 in under 60 minutes. Just completed 400 mile trip with no issues! Highly recommend this carrier.
This was one of the easiest installs I’ve ever had. Watched a couple of the etrailer videos regarding the installation of this product prior to its arrival. Took about 25 minutes to install. The rack is solid as a rock and very secure from theft. Would highly recommend this product for anyone with a Jeep Wrangler.

Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Very nice, works well. The only thing that was an issue was with the "Anchor" part of assembly. The straps it came with were 2-3 ft. too short. So I had to replace/substitute my cargo straps for the Yakima top straps. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with this item.
Still very worth every penny.
When I started the search for a bike rack, I was so disappointed and upset to hear that I would need to install a hitch and spend even more money to buy another bike rack for my 2016 jeep renegade. I ordered this bike rack with a little hope but got a huge surprise! Not only is it super convenient and easy to install but I can fully use my trunk and not spend a ton of money!
Still loving it and Getting lots of use out of it !

Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
I’ve been using etrailer for years now. Four self installed and one at their shop in Wentzville, MO. Love the assistance for the do it yourselfer. Thanks etrailer!
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.

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
THIS RACK SAVED OUR e-BIKES FROM GETTING STOLEN! The would-be thieves cut the cable that I used to secure the bikes together but they couldn't release the locking hooks on the bike rack to be able to remove the bikes. The straps holding the wheels to the brackets were cut, but they really aren't necessary for holding the bikes on the rack anyway. This rack is so simple to use and has performed flawlessly every time. We've used it on quite a few trips, one of them was over 5800 miles in 3 weeks! 100% worth the price!
Great bike rack , exactly what I was looking for to carry an e bike and a regular mountain bike behind my RV , the tightening feature on the hitch is simple but great , no rattle ! Easy to assemble and adjustments make it very easy for any bike , The locks for the hitch pin and bikes are a great addition . Well worth the money , Quality product .

Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Arms
It was a painless process to get a good bike rack that actually fits on my 2005 Jeep Liberty... I had a flimsy one that strapped around the spare tire, previously. The ordering/tracking/delivery/installation went smoothly. The only issue I encountered is that the tongue that arrived attached to the plate was IMPOSSIBLE to remove; fortunately, it was the correct size to use with my spare tire width.
After a couple of weeks of researching which type of bike rack I wanted for my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK (hitch mount or spare tire), I decided on the spare tire mount. And after a 4hr (roundtrip) mountain biking weekend escape, I'm very happy with my decision. What I like about the rack: well built, very sturdy with bike(s) mounted (no sway or rattle), arms fold down and lock in place when not in use (looks slick), full access to cargo area without needing to remove rack, rack and bike cable locks included, economical, lifetime warranty and of course the dual bottle openers ; ) What I would improve upon or revise in a future model: arms should be longer (even just an inch because bikes rub slightly so I had to add padding), more use of aluminum rather than plastic (thinking long term durability of the plastic locking teeth and arms) Thanks eTrailer
Its been a year and Im very pleased with my decision on purchasing the Yakima Spare Tire Bike Rack. Its held up nicely and I get compliments and inquiries often. Ive recommended it and eTrailer.com to all. Thanks again

Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount
Solid rack. Easy to attach. Bikes mount fairly close to one another. Best suited for bikes with straight top tube, mtb frames can be mounted at an angle. I needed to loosen spare to mount or unmount rack.
After one year, rack seems to be holding up well to frequent use. Stayed secure on tire throughout summer. Removed during winter and reinstalled this spring. Still happy with this purchase.
When I purchased this rack it specifically said it would fit on a FJ Cruiser factory equipment tire. The rack does accommodate the width but not the height (P265/70R17) so the (U) section of the rack is not long enough to come in contact with the lower part of the tire. This makes the rack unexceptional the carry bikes on the tire do to the lack of support! The rack itself is well constructed and would be excellent on a smaller tire. I modified this rack so it would contact the tire in two places, this works great and just returned from a 4,000 mile trip and could not be happier. Easy to put on, rock solid ride, though my bike frames are small tube and I used a small piece of split garden hose to take the slop out of the rubber frame cradles.
Still love the rack, after modifications. I hope Etrailer understands the problem installing the rack on the OEM spare tire on the Toyota Fj. Without the mod pictured in my review, the bikes cannot be held securely.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I purchased this product for my husband as a gift. He was wanting a rack that would be easy to get a bike on and off of, and something that would clear the spare tire attatched to our tailgate. (we own a Jeep Liberty Renegade) He has been very happy with this rack! It met his want list and has been very stable when transporting his bike. It has two locks, folds down to a great size, and is well built. Etrailer provided excellent customer service, and I found the product demos very helpful!... I would recommend the company and the product!
Love my new Swagman Chinook 2-bike rack! Impressive packaging to protect product for shipping. Assembled easily and transports my bike beautifully. I appreciate easy adjustments, multi-folding features, sturdy design and locks: 1) from rack to car receiver and 2) locking bike(s) onto rack.
Working great a year later. I’ve used it many times to transfer my bike and, multiple times to transport 2 bikes. Very sturdy. In generally keep the rack on the car so the folding feature is great. I have also used the tip away feature to open the back gate of my Ford Escape when the bikes are on the rack. I don’t notice any rust developing so far. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum
The rack keeps my bike safe and I drive at 80mph without noise, very easy to install and easy to place the bike
Basically, bolt it to your rack and you're ready to go. Easy to use once you do it a few times. My only complaint is for $200 they could throw in a lock core. Also, this etrailer response is incorrect, it is actually pretty simple to swap the operation of the rack to work on the driver's side (without having your bike face the wrong direction). Two plastic locks hold the main assembly together, unlock, take the hook out and put in the other way. The loop thing at the front is held in by one allen bolt on the bottom; take it out, swap the direction. Finally, the rear tire strap slides out the back; reverse it and slide it on. It takes longer to put the carrier on /off your rack than to swap the direction (not more than 10 minutes).

RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
The RockyMounts Tomahawk bike-rack is a high quality aluminum frame, which will last years to come. And it's universal fit makes it easy to mount on any roof rack! My bike has big Bontrager tires which fit pretty well on the carrier. It took 15 minutes to assemble, but the instructions were not very clear. A [online] video was better help! I haven't used it on a trip yet, but so far so good!
It has been a year since owning the TomaHawk Bike Rack & I couldnt be happier! No problems so far & I have taken it on at least 20 trips across ontario. Very good quality & has not put a single scratch on my bike... 5 stars!!
This is my first Rockymount product, and they have won me over. This was well-designed and secures bicycles very well, despite the broad selection of wheel accomodations. In the future, I will not even look at the other two major bike rack makers. I really like how it requires common bicycle tools to disassemble, which makes me think it is more secure than all the other racks I own that have wingnuts everywhere.
No issues. Great product. Great dealer.

Hollywood Racks Express 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Fixed Arms
I’ve had this rack about a year, no issues what so ever. Easy to attach and take down. Easy to load bike onto and take off. Compact enough to keep stowed in the trunk. Recently purchased a step through bike, needed to purchase a bar attachment to work best with the rack but possible to secure to rack without bar, if it is the only bike going on the rack. Would purchase again.
I LOVE MY RACK! Very happy with my purchase. A definite must! I will add though. If you are planning on going away buy the extra lock and key they sell to make sure no one takes your rack+bike when you aren't by the car. I bought both and I am very happy with my purchases. Thank you etrailer.com <3.
Loving it. I got a bigger car, an HRV, and I was very happy to see I could use my rack with that! Highly recommend buying it.

Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier
Hi This is an Excellent Bike Rack, It came in no time, Nicely Plastic Wrapped incase of Rain, The Instructions were an Easy Read. I Installed it on my 2001 Honda CRV which was a Breeze, I do think that People Who are too week to lift a Tire shouldnt attempt this alone Though. When You install it you have one hand to hold the tire and one to Screw in your bolts. It does require Strength and Dexterity, and we who ride Bikes already Have that I would Think. I put My Trek Bike on the Rack it Fits Great ! , and Im Ready to tour the Countryside. Thanks etrailer.com You Guys Know your Stuff Alan J
Very easy to install on the spare tire. Sturdy construction and priced 1/3 of the top name brands. Also, non of the top name brands hold three bikes like this does. Extremely satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone.

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2008 Jeep Liberty
Today on our 2008 Jeep Liberty, we'll be doing a test fit of the Kuat transfer platform style 3 bike rack, that's part number TS03G. Now it's also available in a 2 bike rack part number TS02G. I've already got it loaded up on the Jeep Liberty just to give you a good idea of what it's going to look like and how it's going to secure our bikes. It actually secures our bikes in 2 spots, we have this front wheel hook here putting down pressure into our front wheel cradle and then we have this rear wheel strap going over our rear wheel. All in all there is no frame contact with this bike rack. One of the key features about this bike rack is that it has the ability to tilt away with all 3 bikes loaded so we can gain access to our rear hatch. What we do is we can bring our foot up to this foot pedal here or we can use our hand.
