Overview
Not a roof or hitch carrier, this is a hanging-style trunk rack that attaches to a trunk or hatchback with a six-strap system and no tools.
Tool-free setup, wide bike spacing and a rack that folds flat for storage are the practical advantages, and the lock is built in. Capacity is described as one to three bikes while an item highlight says Pro 2, so the exact count is unclear.
Who it's for
Drivers with a trunk or hatchback who carry a bike or two to the trail. Owners of vehicles with unusual rear ends, or buyers who need three bikes confirmed, should check fit and count first.
Pros and cons
- Integrated cable lock
- Bike count unclear
- Trunk or hatchback mount only
Performance notes
Six straps spread the clamping load across the trunk so the rack stays put, and anti-sway cradles with generous spacing stop bikes touching each other in transit. The hanging style supports the bikes by their frames.
