Overall awesome rack. 697082, I love this bike rack! 553362, TLDR: Awesome. Kuat offered to send a complete tray due to the lock problem. it does appear to be made really well and once put together, has a lot of quality features. Product was packaged nicely & all parts were there. That tire size was a concern since some of the rack specs were contradictory as to whether 4.25 or 4.5 was the widest compatible tire. One important missing instruction is how much to tighten the screws at the bottom of the fork arm.. to stop from swinging when no bikes are installed. I keep it on the hitch all the time.

You can't go wrong with this [email protected]! I am very pleased with the product. It is much heavier than I thought it would be. Love this rack! I have a hybrid bike and was a bit worried that the handlebars (kind of long) would hit my rear glass when using the rack closest to the vehicle but I had about 2 inches to spare.

Everthing was perfect for me so it appears that this problem has been corrected. Say what?! The beefiness of the carrier's frame keeps it from flexing. I love it! The rest is so easy to install and stow when not needed. So far we've been extemely pleased with it, and would highly recommend it. I have not gone on any super long trips but I am sure it would work just fine. I have a bad back, so being able to load/unload the bikes without a lot of bending over is a nice feature wth the "U" shaped rack design and the reason I purchased this rack. 502189, This rack works awesome for 2 bikes! I have never had a better set of directions to put something together. No wobbling. We feel the Transfer is a relatively good value. The rack itself was a Kuat, top of the line brand although I did not buy the most expensive one. They are only 26” in size, so that might be why. 610097, Easy to use. 561361, Amazing bike rack!

Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but can't wait. 524708, Another great product from eTrailer! Summary: 10/10 confidence and user-friendliness. Very solid and easy to handle. So my dilemma is I can only secure it like 1-2 clicks down which it will move & I will have to use a bungi cord for more security. Once installed it is a breeze, but getting it there is hard due to the weight. etrailer sent it quickly and it arrived in excellent condition. - The bars now squeak loudly when I am moving them up and down. I recommend this rack. We transported two bikes on a 7,000 mile road trip without incident. I highly recommend! Thanks etrailer.com for excellent service in this quality product.

It is perhaps the first item I’ve ever assembled that had the instructions written in correct and easy to understand English.
