Question:

My husband and I both have a Ozone shock force bikes, from what I am researching it looks like we are going to have to buy adapters to have the bikes be able to fit on most trunk . Would this model require adapters as well?

Expert Reply:

I checked out your Ozone shock force bikes online and to load them onto a hanging bike rack like the Thule Gateway # TH88VR you will need a frame adapter bar like the part # UB01 due to the unique frame style of your bikes. This will attach to the seat post and steering stem to give the rack a horizontal attachment point for the rack.

This rack is also a confirmed fit for your 2014 Jeep Patriot as well.
