Why this product
Three-bike capacity in a trunk rack that fits spoiler vehicles — that combination is hard to find. Anti-sway cradles keep bikes separated, strap-free design at 19.6 lbs. The 37.5 lb per-bike limit means standard bikes only, frame contact means not carbon-safe, and no locks. I recommend this to families of three who do not have a hitch and want to carry bikes without permanent vehicle modifications. Start here, upgrade to a hitch rack when you are ready to commit.
