Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Generally pretty happy with the product. The one issue that I have had is that the spring loaded clip on the frame clamp ratcheting strap has broken and no longer provides spring loading and no longer secures the strap in place. Fortunately, I only carry a single bike and am able to use the other frame clamp, but if this one clip fails I am out of business until I am able to get replacement parts.
I did a lot of research and decided I didn’t want to spend $300 or more. This Hollywood Destination bike rack had such high reviews that I decided to make the purchase. I figured I could return it if it didn’t meet my specifications. But I am very happy I have it. It’s so easy to put on and take off of my Outback and the bike is very solid with no swaying when I maneuver Illinois roads. This was a great decision and thank you etrailer for your part in this purchase!

Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Arms
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
2015 Jeep WranglerThis bike carrier is great! It is very well made and is secured to the vehicle with a keyed lock. It comes with a locking cable for the bike as well. I can open the tailgate and access the trailer hitch while the bike is on the carrier. I could not be more pleased!
It is working out fantastic! I am very pleased!

Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - 1 Bike
This is the best bike rack system I have used so far. I tried roof racks, truck bed tension racks, and tail gate pad. We used this for the first time today, and I am very pleased. Our bikes were very secure and the system is easy to use. Two thumbs up!
Still 5 Stars, after a year!
Robert T - 06/21/2021It actually works well. I have a short bed so I have to put the bike in with the front tire at the tailgate because of my basket platform. I do use a ratchet strap to add additional security to the tire closest to the cab. It’s a little tricky getting the rack itself set up with the straps that secure it between the tailgate and the bed for good closure of the tailgate. Since it doesn’t fold, it should be placed inside the truck if you travel with it. I’m planning to do some camping with a small fiberglass camper next fall. This is my only option for taking the bike that I feel comfortable about. I will update when I try this. I hate just laying my bike down in the bed so I’m hoping this works for camping.

Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
2014 Nissan AltimaGoes on and off in minutes. Bike is very stable when in this carrier. No issues after one year. Also got the anti theft "puck" for this so I can leave the carrier on the car while riding and it is still there when I get back. Carrier fits in my trunk when not in use.
Still using this regularly and it still functions perfectly.
Rex - 07/12/2019Went online to find a bike rack for my Altima - had plenty of choices but the information provided on the etrailer.com site was clear and assured me the product would fit my car. Couldn't beat the price, free shipping and it arrived in 2 days.

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.

RockyMounts LoBall Truck Bed Bike Rack for Utility Tracks - 1 Bike - Fork Mount - Track Mount
Just to let you know I like to shop around to find the best product and this product from RockyMounts fits the bill. The rack installed flawlessly with the Loball locking fork mounts. It only took 40 minutes from box to complete the installation. Hauling three bikes is now a breeze. The best part was no drilling required.
I am still impressed with the quality and ease of use.
Louis A. - 03/01/2021It took a little bit to get the forks into the rails on a 2012 Tacoma. But after installing the first, the second and third were easy as pie. Adjusting to fit the locker to the fork takes a bit of fine tuning with a small tolerance on either the too loose or too tight sides. But once dialed in this is the best thing out there. Locking the fork to the fork mount is awesome. Even driving on some really horrible roads the bikes do not jitter about at all. I could just fit 3 fork mounts (road bikes) in my Tacoma. I would recommend this product.
After a while the mechanism needed some WD40 to keep the locking action working. But other than that its been great.

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.

Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
It was super easy to install...maybe 10 minutes! Especially good for our 2018 Subaru Outback that has the smaller style hitch. Love it!
This is a great rack. I wanted a 4 bike rack that was easy and quick complicated to load but was also not bulky like the platform racks. My kids bikes are a little awkward because their too small to mount them as you would adult bikes by hanging them on the cross tube, but I make it work and they are very secure with the straps. I also can’t use extenders because the bikes are even too small for those. The bikes are stable and steady and the Swamy prevention bars do a great job. This is less expensive and more streamlined than other 4 bike racks and I am very happy with my purchase. It’s been on my car for over a year straight and the only rust I see staring is on the wire for the pins.

Hollywood Racks Baja 2 Bike Carrier - Fixed Arms - Trunk Mount
2015 Nissan AltimaI’ve used my Baja 2 many times over the past year. Have not had a single hiccup. Fits perfectly on my 2015 Altima.
Received a severely damaged and poorly taped-up Thule box inside an etrailer.com box. The product was clearly damaged and repackaged before shipping.

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
Love this product! I built a great bike carrying system for my F-150 using two of these fork clamps. They are easy to install and extremely well made. No more tangled bikes and lots more room in the bed for other stuff! Best way to go for a nice bike rack system. Thanks, Phil T.
Could not be easier to make your own bike rack with these skewers. A little measuring, some scrap wood, and you have a great carrier for a bargain! The only thing keeping it from being a 5 star... the skewers lock tab could be oval like the axle locks. Then they would stay locked without so much tension being put to them.

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!!
Ricar - 05/09/2022This 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.

Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum
The rack is good but the straps to hold the bike onto the rack are terrible. They are very difficult to use. The “teeth” in the straps don’t always loosen easily to remove and often don’t stay tight. My last Thule bike rack used Velcro straps and they were very easy to use and held the bikes on the rack more securely. Very disappointed with my purchase. The only attribute is the light weight of this bike rack.
I did lot of research get appropriate hitch rack for my SUV (Nissan Rogue). Finally I found what I needed!! It is very good quality item from trusted brand. It seemed a little confusing to assemble it at the very beginning but actually it is quite easy to do that by yourself and it doesn’t take long time either. It is very light and easy to carry if you wanna remove it from your vehicle. It is solid and it does carry our both bikes securely I am very happy with prompt response and fast delivery of etrailer.com. I purchased with 4 business days delivery option and I actually received it 3 days after I purchased it. It was impressive. FYI, I live in Maine. Thank you.
It’s working perfectly fine. Great product!

Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack - Frame Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum
Thule never disappoints! I’ve had my Thule Roof Rack for over 10 years and final added the Thule Proride Xt Roof Bike Rack. Best investment for my ‘09 Mini Cooper
Appreciate the expedited shipping. Bike rack was packaged well and the team at eTrailer made sure the bike rack arrived before my son left for college. He was able to install the bike rack including his mountain bike in 15 minutes and is very pleased with the quality.

Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 7 Bikes - 53" Wide
Well, I’m not crazy about it for my application; but It would work better for full size pick up applications. It was a too wide for my Jeep Gladiator and was difficult to install, as well as use the tailgate when it was attached. I like the access flap to the gate latch. The straps tend to fall out, I’ve lost a couple already. They are also awkward to use for strapping the bike down as the Velcro hooks and nap are on opposite sides of the strap.
I only gave this 3 stars because the straps that fasten the bike to the pad is to long to use on a tube for a normal road bike. The straps are 16 inches long and it wraps around my bikes twice leaving no room to fasten the strap together. I thought this seemed strange so I called etrailer customer service which gave me Thule service number and they seem to understand the issue but had the only solution of using a zip tie. It seems the straps work for a Mountain bike but not for smaller tubed bikes. Just keep this in mind when ordering. I also think you will need to secure the back of the bike if you are only hauling 1 or 2 so the not flop around.

Hollywood Racks Express 2 Bike Rack with Hatch Anchors - Trunk Mount - Fixed Arms
# 17
Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On
1. One star ding for price. Fairly expensive for a single bike, especially after adding a lock core. 2. The rack works exceptionally well and I'm not disappointed with the purchase. Installation is fairly simple. It does take a bit of fiddling to get the tension down on the rack clamps (connecting it to car) but it is a simple affair, and I'm able to move it between an aero rack and a round rack with out adjusting the tension. The sliding tray in the rear is a bit sticky, so if you carry bikes of different wheelbases, you may need to add some lubrication to the tract. Front wheel locks into place (I've used 700x25 and 29x2.3) simply, and the clutch in the tension wheel is a nice addition. It would be nice if there was a quick release button (like in times past) but it spins fairly quickly to unload. The locking whip is a nice addition. I have been able to rout it over the chainstay on both bikes. However, it is too short to route around chainstay and wheel. I'd prefer to include my rear wheel inside the lock. Overall, I'm very happy with the product.
After a year on the car and some 50 uses, everything is fine and I have no regrets. Regardless of the bike in use, it performs flawlessly.
David - 05/01/2018Fantastic rack. Extremely smooth lines when carrying a bike or not. I stuck 3 of them on the roof of my Subaru Outback and couldn't be happier with how secure everything is. I am still able to open the hatch to store our gear unlike a hitch mount and haven't ruined the departure angle on an already long wagon. Easy to install and fit very snugly on the OEM Subaru crossbars with rubber straps. The integrated bike locks are awesome! Had them on the car in 20 minutes. etrailer was extremely helpful throughout the process of ordering and delivered a great bunch of products on time.

Still working strong! I have had no issues, big or small with bike rack. Easy load and unload. Bikes are secure whether taking short or long trips. No problem with rubber straps. Still hold bikes securely. Most importantly, rack doesn’t obscure my sight lines.
Linda R - 02/13/2022Not happy with it yet. hard to secure a full suspension mountain bike. Trying a different way to place my bike on the rack.

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.
Shaun - 04/22/2022When 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 !
Marianna L - 07/06/2019Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Nissan Altima
Rob: Hey everybody, it's Rob here at etrailer.com, and today we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Pro two bike hanging style rack on our 2019 Nissan Altima. And our rack is going to be great for mountain bikes, women's bikes, kid bikes, a lot of bikes out there. However, since it is a hanging style rack, it's not really recommended that you use it for a carbon style frame bike, because that is going to put all the stress on the frame and it can weaken it over time. But our rack is going to hold your bike in three different points to make sure it's secure when you are going down the road. We'll have two supports on the cross tube, and then we're going to have one on the vertical support, and that's going to act as an anti-sway, preventing the bike from moving too much back and forth and making that bike to bike contact.Now removing them is extremely easy. You just got these little levers, push that button in, we can loosen up the strap.

They're going to be holding the bike, and the bike's going to be sitting on a platform. But we're also going to have another additional support to help hold the bike when we are transporting it. We're going to have this frame hook in the middle, so it's really going to hold our bike securely.
