Would you trust this rack on a 3000mi roadtrip with 2 adult bikes and 2 kids bikes?

Should not be a problem. It is a solid rack. We've used it on ~1000 mile trips before.

I've driven for hours with 2 adult mountain bikes......no problems. Just make sure it is secured.

Absolutely!! This is a great system. I have traveled cross-country 4 or 5 times with my HD Road King Screamin' Eagle and it has held the bike solid in place! It's a good idea to check it periodically if you are traveling a long distance. I have had to ratchet the front wheel strap a few times just to tighten it up. My bike is 850-900 lbs.

We had 4 bikes on it and none was hitting the car. However, the rack BROKE from the weight of the bikes (2 adult, 2 kids bikes) and the constant vibrations you get when you drive. Be careful! You don't want it to break while driving and have the bikes fall down on the road!

We've travelled w/ 4 full size mountain bikes on it & worked well. Don't know what the weight capacity is.

Yes, but not as tightly as I would like. My mountain bike has a think frame so it can be challenging. Also, there is no way this rack can carry 4 mountain bikes. Two tops.

It will be very uncomfotable to load the bikes. Technicali i dont see a problem if you have space on your rack but very unconvenient and i strongly dont reccomand

This is only for short term transport. I would only use it if its to and from wherever your taking the bikes. The rack is easy to assemble. To take down and to put up.

It's a solid bike rack and even loaded with bikes on a highway should have very little if any movement. If you are getting significant movement then would check the hitch and make sure it's attached properly. If you continue to have problems then there is something wrong with either the hitch itself or the rack.

It would probably depend on the weight. I don't know what the maximum weight limit is for the rack. It holds 3 bikes so bikes don't really weigh that much.

Most definitely. I've had mine for 3 years now, and it has been OVERLOADED big-time for all 3 years. I love this rack.

We used this to carry one mens and one womens mountain bike. I bought the extra travel bar to fit on the womens bike and it was fine. I would recommend buying the extra bar for both bikes. It should be fine with that addition.

I have had an 8'2" on it securely. My rack is mounted on a Yamaha TW200 enduro and I have not gone over 40 miles per hour with it on the bike. It seemed fine at that speed.I plan on putting a 9'2 on there shortly.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I'm not an engineer, so I don't know how "overbuilt" this is and whether it would handle the extra weight. When I was researching this purchase, I remember seeing a few other carriers out there designed to carry heavier bikes. You also want to make sure the hitch on your vehicle is rated to carry that amount of weight. My vehicle's hitch is rated at 500 lbs which is the max of this carrier.

Hi. I have driven at highway speeds for about 30 miles without a problem. The only thing with the rack is it may make a wear make on your bike. I put a piece of foam pipe installation on the bike to prevent marking.

We have two electra townies that work fine on this rack. But we do use some extra padding so bikes don't rub together.

Yes, this rack is very sturdy when everything is locked in properly. It also looks way better than everyone else's bike rack on the road!
