Easy to install/remove, takes up little storage space
- Christophe 19 May 2026
I haven't had much experience of it, but it's a very well thought-out bike rack that's easy to install and uninstall. It takes up very little space for storage, and the wheels are very handy for moving it around. However, I'm sorry that it can't be folded up when empty and left mounted on the car (as I can do with an older Thule model).
