Why this product
Why the Thule OutWay Platform 2?
A platform-style trunk rack — that combination is rare. No frame contact like a regular trunk rack, and you get full trunk access with bikes loaded. At 27.6 lbs it is heavier than strap-on trunk racks but the platform design protects your bike finish. The 37.5 lb per-bike limit means standard bikes only, and no locks is a notable gap. I recommend this to people who want the benefits of a platform rack but do not have a hitch receiver on their vehicle.
