MTB Luxury and Smaller vehicle Necessity
If you're invested in mountain biking, this is a great investment.Rack holds two bikes each up to 50 Lbs recommended. Many bikes today won't weigh 50 lbs unless they're cheaper materials or an Ebike. If you have Ebikes, I recommend getting a heavier duty rack if the weight is close or over 50 lbs each.This rack is light, and just does its job. It's very easy to unlock the hatch and pull the rack out and throwing it in the back of the vehicle if necessary for car washes, auto work, or maybe you're traveling and prefer to keep it safely put up when not in use.It seems pretty sturdy and well made, however the plastic parts do feel flimsy for the price on the wheel attachments. However, I have not had an issue after a months use with them.It's very easy to put bikes on and take them off. The adjustable position of the rack is very useful and seen in my photos. Helpful Hint: When attempting to lower the rack with bikes on, give the rack a little lift before pulling lever. I've noticed some friends struggle with the lever when attempting to lower it, but a slight lift remedies this. The lever should ALWAYS be easy to push. You're doing it wrong if it's not.Bikes have plenty of clearance between eachother. Bikes included in pictures are a red Medium Trance Advanced Pro 27s, The Medium Metallic Blue Talon 27s, and a large grey stance 29s.I highly suggest watching a couple videos on building it. It is very easy to do yourself and tools are provided, however do NOT tighten bolts before lining the entire rack up. The holes DO line up, but thats without tightening it down first. If you tighten it all down before finishing assembly, your bolts will not line up with holes. If you leave it loose, it is very easy to line up all bolts. Assembly did not take long. Did it alone and had it on my vehicle in less than an hour easy.I'm very satisfied with the rack. I love how light and easy it is to adjust, yet quite sturdy and reliable feeling. The hitch tighten feature is very nice, but it does leave the rack tilted slightly which might agitate the OCD. The rack and bikes move very little. The bike lock that comes with it is a nice touch, but in reality most bike locks will only deter small time criminals. A professional thief will be able to remove most locks within minutes including this one. You'll have to invest in a heavy duty one if you prefer to leave the bikes locked out of view, which personally I would never do. If traveling and making frequent gas station stops etc, the lock is useful for a little added security while you run in.Overall, a worthy investment if you're invested in Mountain Biking. Im well invested in multiple bikes and I have full confidence in this rack with my bikes. Definitely recommend if you're on the fence. Your bikes deserve this rack.Vehicle in photos is 2013 Equinox.

Super stable, though light and easy to put on the vehicle.
The design is clever in several ways. LIGHTEST in this class (aluminum construction), so it is VERY stable (LOVE the ability to TIGHTEN the bike rack on the hitch and make it super stable). The WHITE looks great, and different than "all the other racks." The easy load for one or two bikes, and tilt-away-from-the-vehicle features are well designed, and it is just a high quality, great looking bike rack. Well worth the price. Nice touches, like hitch and bike lock have same key, ALL items needed for assembly are included, (and they are high quality, not cheapo tools), etc.

Highest of quality hitches
By far my favorite hitch rack i've ever owned, easy to put together, comes with all the tools you need, high quality parts and has a very secure tight fit. Would highly recommend

A solid light weight rack
This rack was fairly simple to assemble as there aren't many parts to it. I used it on a 300 mile road trip and it was rock solid. I purchased this mainly due to it's light weight as I don't use it very often and can easily store it. It's very handy to be able to tilt the rack down to access the cargo area as well.

Install challenge
Really nice rack. Like how the bend coming from hitch leads to most of rack and bikes sitting higher off ground. Definite plus on low profile sedan. The install was a bit of a challenge as the hinge arm holes didn’t immediately align with inside tray holes. Had to loosen up a number of other bolts to allow enough alignment to thread bolt. Instructions mentioned nothing of this so definitely took longer to install. Hopefully this helps anyone experiencing similar problem.
