I was flabbergasted by the price of hitch mounted bike racks. I purchased the Retrospec based on the description and the price and have no regrets. I recently met a friend in a parking lot to travel together to a mountain bike trailhead. We decided to use my rack because it was so much easier to use than the rack he had that cost four times as much.The Retrospec was easy to assemble. All the parts matched up well. The rack is sturdy and easily supports the weight of two adult bikes loaded with accessories. I like the saddles that the top tubes of the bikes fit into. They have super strong stretchy rubber that pulls over the tube and pops over a square top post. I would feel confident that these alone would secure the bike but I use a few bungee cords just to be safe.The rack fit my 2†receiver with no problem. It has an interesting threaded pin that screws into the side of the receiver preventing it from coming loose or rattling in the receiver. There is a reusable cotter pin that slides through a hole in the opposite side to further prevent loosening or loss. I did find that I had trouble lining up the hole in the rack with the hole in the receiver (sliding too far in or not enough) but came up with an easy solution. I took some colored electrical tape and wrapped it around the rack bar that slides into the receiver so it was tight against the edge of the receiver. Now I just slide the reach in up to the tape.I can’t imagine how some reviewers had problems with this rack. If you assemble it properly and take some standard precautions (checking tightness and connections etc.) it is very sturdy. This is an excellent value for the price.

I like that this bike rack is made of tube steel and it seems very sturdy. I'm just a casual bike rider and didn't want to spend upwards of $500â€$600 for a high end bike rack. This one seems to be a nice midpoint. It was very easy to assemble, it's fairly light weight, and seems to hold the bikes securely. I did buy some bands to hold the tires in case one of the tire latches comes loose since there's nothing to support them. I know it's not likely, but just trying to be safer and protect my bikes. I'm going to use it on my RV this weekend, then eventually add it (or another one) to my kayak trailer. That way I'll have everything for my outdoor weekends on one trailer!

For the price, it's a pretty alright bike rack. It's easy to install, it's not too heavy, it leans forward plenty far enough to be able to get into the tailgate, and it holds the bikes fine. If you have a larger bike or one with bigger tires, you might need something that can get taller, as my husband's XXL bike ended up hanging down quite low. That said, it's still possible to get two bikes on comfortably, even a woman's or other step-through bike. The straps are sturdy but you have to tighten the braces a LOT if you don't want the back bike to wiggle closer to the vehicle and scrape the brake bar on the back window (we learned from experience.) Overall, it's not the greatest thing out there, there are parts I wish were a little better, but it's going to get your bikes from here to there safely.

Lightweight, easy to fasten bike, had no problems on 1000 mile trip. Glad I found this option of product offering.

The weight of the box suggests this bike rack is heavy duty. Design and function is similar to other reese hitch racks. The rack itself is built out of very solid material. I will probably never have to replace it.

Unlike other reviewers, I found this very easy to assemble and install. I was 15 minutes from opening the box to testing with a bike.I did find a design flaw in that when you lower the carrying arms, there was nothing to secure it. There was a pin that prevents it from going back up but there was still about 1-2 inches of play causing it to rattle horribly.I didn't want that kind of rattle when not in use so I returned. If there was a way to have secured this, I would have kept the rack and felt very much like it would have served its purpose well.

This bike rack is simple and does what's needed. After a few uses it can be installed and uninstalled in less than 5 minutes. I use it on my truck and so the feature that allows the unit to bend down give me access to my cap top back window. The only negative is that the directions tell you not to overtighten the brackets that the bike bars hold on to. That's fine, however even if you did tighten them as much as possible without breaking them they can slide back and forth on the poles. There is a rivet at the end of the pole so the bikes won't fall off. To fix this issue I just put a couple of wraps of electrical tape on either side of the brackets to keep them from shifting. They can still rotate but that's good because the bike bar will rest comfortable on them. Im guessing brand name units have grooves along the bars that the brackets tighten into that keep this from happening.

Product arrived with a small damaged part but contacted the company by email and recieved EXCELLENT, friendly service and fast shipping of replacement part.Bike rack is exactly as described. Easy to put together and install on my minivan. Held our 3 large bikes of varying design very well and would have had room for a 4th if needed. It takes a little planning to get the bikes on the rack but the clamps are easy to adjust to different bike styles. Carried the bikes securely on a 5000 km road trip. Loved that the back van door is easy to access even with empty rack installed....was much trickier when the bikes were on the rack, very heavy, would not recommend unless unavoidable.Bungee cords were a must for securing the tires. We did have some damage to the bikes from them rubbing together, but next time I plan to use some cut up pool noodles as bumpers between bike parts.Overall, definately recommend!

De buena calidad. Es práctico y fácil de instalar y desmontar; ideal para uso de fin de semana dentro de tu código postal; para llevarlo a carretera o caminos difÃciles puedes adptarle cinchos (foto) para minimizar el balanceo. No cuenta con dispositivos de seguridad o bloqueo por lo que no es recomendable dejarlo puesto en forma permanente o en lugares con riesgo de robo.

It does the job! No noise. Sturdy. I just needed to secure the bike a bit more as the strap provided wasn’t enough to hold the bike so that it won’t move while travelling! Otherwise, a good product worth your money!
