Versatile And Secure Bike Rack

This is a really good product. It holds the bicycles in place on the truck bed without touching the frame. I also use it for storage since it keeps the bikes standing straight. Having this plus my Thule T2 Pro XTR gives me flexibility: I can leave the big rack on my RV and still carry bikes on the truck with the Insta‑Gater Pro, or use both racks to transport four bikes safely when riding with friends. Highly recommended!

Works As Advertised!

Works great! Noticed better MPG having my bikes in the bed rather than on a hitch rack. Also better protection from road spray and getting rear ended. For this rack, I mount them using the rear wheel, facing forward. With my longer wheelbase XL mountain bike, I do need to turn the front wheel in order to make it fit.

Solid Hold, Improvement On The First Version

I have a couple of the first version of this rack and they work great, except they are a little tricky to use with the back wheel, because it hits the derailleur cage. This new version fixes that issue and holds a wider tire as well. Very happy with it.

Hard To Use

Just bought and have used only once. Not sure if its me or this bike rack but I find it extremely hard to use, problem is you have to put the bike rack in the truck and then put your bike wheel in the slot and then close your truck gate. Maybe if I was 20 this would be easy but as an older women its really hard. Bad purchase for an older person, wish I had purchased the bike rack that attaches to my trailer hitch.

Locking Feature Failure

I like the way it holds my bike in the truck bed, but featured locking cable doesn’t extend long enough to lock bike.
