I have had the 4 bike version for 8 months now, used dozens of times with 4 bikes, no interference problems between bikes, fits my xl frame scalpel just fine, no tilt issues as described in the video, the hitch tightening mechanism locks it parallel to the hitch. I did find that my truck it looks flat, but on my wife's suburban it looks tilted because the hitch receiver is slightly titled, this would be the same problem for all racks on her vehicle. definitely looks more durable than the saris in person, fit a fat bike with 4.0" tires, but it was really the max tire width.
@@MtbrVideos My father was US national champion in both road and track disciplines back in 1939. I was a roadie until MTB started; and, raced Ritchey MTBs until my body said "No mas". Looking for my first e-MTB now...LOL
Nice video. Am in the market for for a trailer hitch bike rack mount. Am considering this and the 1up. I just wonder how they would interfere w the reverse cameras and sensors.
They absolutely do interfere with the sensors as will most tray bike racks. As for the camera, depends where it's mounted, but it potentially could block it. Again, this is not rack specific, it's likely the same with most any tray rack system.
You have to have enough room for the lever to come over the tire. At a certain point it won't have enough coverage over the wheel to hold it. So, it's unlikely that anything over 48 will do very well. I'm sure if it could have handled it they would have been happy to list a higher wheel base.
An idea? What if I were to purchase a 10 or 12 foot bike cable, and after I've mounted both bikes (or one bike) on the rack, what if I threaded the cable through the tire arm clamps, and through both bike frames, pulled the cable tight, and then secured the cable with a lock or using the racks locking mechanism? Because if I threaded a long cable through the tire arm clamps and through the frame of the bikes, and pulled the cable taut before locking it, then the tire arm clamps can't be released without me unlocking the cable, which means the bikes can't be removed as well? And after I've threaded the cable, and to make sure it's tight enough so that the tire arm clamps can't be released, I could wrap any excess cabling around the bike's frame until it's taut before locking it, but not too tight where it would damage the tire arm clamps, but just tight enough that the tire arm clamps can't be released? What do you think?
From what I can see... not even close. The 1up is far superior. If this rack was more around $300, It would change my mind a little. But it's right up there competing with 1up and loses.

*Fits my car perfectly with my new **Latest.Bike** raker , very easy to set up and take down. Great quality and price, very happy with this purchase!*
Informative and thorough as usual...Thanks Francis!
You bike too? So awesome Bill!!!!!!!!!

I like it but prefer a straight 2 inch over the 1 1/4 inch to 2 inch compatibility.
Would it fit a 4in fat tire?

Looks very sleek like it takes up less space when you're not using it? Or no?
What is the wheel base of the bike you had on this rack? I see it has a 48" wheel base limit but wondering if you can run longer

If they have a wedge for the bottom of the front tire to make it more stable. It would be perfect👌
That slight tilt would drive me crazy. Surprising lack of detail from a Japanese company. Otherwise looks solid. Thanks for the review.
Can you add on to this rack? If I buy the 2 bike rack, can I add another single, like the 1up USA racks can??
Nope! They have a 2 bike and 4 bike version.
I have a question because manufacturers said max wheel size is 27.5, will this fit my 29er Mountain bike?
The instructional manual says 20" to 29"
How does the Inno compare to the Saris?
Which is better in your opinion, this or the 1 up??
1up no question. Had this rack been $300... different story, but it's right up in price with the 1up so it loses.
Did you not see the thing wobbling and rattling the whole video? Lmao

😂😂😂
What's the weight of this bike rack?
From the site, it's about 47lbs.
These bike racks are not very durable. I have a heavy fat tire bike and after 7000 miles the rack is almost ready to break in half.
way too much wobble
