Question:

Cant decide between the Malone Max which is shorter easier to load and Thule Camber which is.....a thule. Or any other 4 bike option you recommend for purchase without breaking the bank!

The Malone Runway Max Bike Rack part # MAL72VR and Thule Camber 4 Bike Rack part # TH9056 are both great options and have very similar features such as a folding/tilting design, anti-rattle hitch pin, 1-1/4" to 2" adapter, and anti-sway cradles to name a few. That said, the Camber is a more refined option with better appearances. The frame straps use a ratcheting mechanism so they are much easier to use than the ones on the Runway and the tilting mechanism is a single latch so no dealing with a pin like on the Runway. In all, the Camber will be a higher quality rack than the Runway and easier to use but they are both great option, one just more refined than the other.
