Had this rack for 4 years, used it a ton and love it! Held my bike solid for a 4500km road trip, no issues. I see a lot of reviews complaining about sturdyness, and I’m confused why unless they didn’t adjust the angle properly for they’re vehicle. I have a 29er hard tail mountain bike and it’s carried it for likely close to 8000km total at this point, also carried my bike and friends full supension bike at once , and and different time; my bike and a road bike with an XS frame, needed a couple adjustments for the small frame but I’ve only ever used the factory straps and had no issues whatsoever. I can do pull ups off the rack. Just needs to be tightened down well. Rack has done me well and after all its use still works perfect, fully intact just a couple scratches on it. Highly recommend for a non invasive rack that’s easy to install without a hitch or roof mounting.

A Big Disappointment
Previously owned a Thule product which would go well on a sedan, but the current one is a huge disappointment. The stand for the bikes are very difficult to lock and unlock. Very difficult and cumbersome. Previously the hooks had metal cable and with a locking mechanism. In the current design, one can just cut the nylon straps and go away with it all! The plastic straps that hold the bikes in place fall off very easily and lost several straps. These straps are very cumbersome to operate especially unlocking them. The locking cable to lock the farthest bike is very short and very impractical. Feels like no one took this design seriously

I Don't Recommend
The setup is weak, hard to set a mountain bike rock solid on the rack. It's always moving and scary. I love thule product but this one do not worth it. Make sure to install the hitch on your car and buy a proper rack. I used it 2 times and i'll not use it again and now my warranty is finished, so i'm stock with this item in my garage. Big fan of thule is a little disappointed here.

Terrible Instructions And Have Not Been Fixed.
A year ago, a customer wrote the following review: It's bad enough that the instructions are all pictures and it's difficult to understand what they're telling you to do, but they removed the fit guide from their website that the instructions have you reference to determine the setting on the bike rack for your car. A complete waste of my Sunday afternoon trying to find a fit guide online that someone might have posted so I can install my bike rack." We had exactly the same experience. Thule responded with, we are redoing the web site. That was a year ago.
