Easy to Load Bike Rack Recommendation for Roubaix Expert Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 E-bike
Updated 03/12/2020 | Published 05/15/2018
Question:
I am looking at purchasing a bike rack that will work with the following bikes I have: specialized Roubaix Expert Carbon and the Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 E-bike. can you tell me which rack would work the best for me - i dont want the bikes touching each other. the Turbo has fenders on both wheels and a carrier on the back fender. I am also looking for easy mounting of bikes. We have a Chevy truck silverado and a Durrango - both have 2inch hitch receivers.

We have the perfect bike rack for your Roubaix Expert Carbon and the Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 E-bike. The Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 has a higher weight capacit at 65 lbs per bike. Is incredibly easy to load as it comes with a slide out bike ramp, and grabs the bikes at the frame with it's very universal clamp design which allows it to fit bikes with fenders easily.
Check out the review video and picture I attached as well.

Thanks for the response. My understanding is that the Saris Freedom EX also can tilt away with bikes loaded, and can hold the 55lb turbo vados. So if they are secure on the Saris, the $500 difference in price seems to be pretty significant. So my main question is whether the easy fold is more secure than the freedom.
