Thule 962XT Speedway 3-Bike Trunk Rack Review

I've used this bike rack for over 10,000 miles across the U.S., on two sedans and one SUV.It's always been secure and rock solid (tried only one bike) at every speed I've driven, ranging from highways to gravel roads in all weather.It is an effective bike carrier and I do recommend it.There are some minor pitfalls though.

The mounting is tricky, with any car.It took me 40 minutes the first time, now I can do it in 15, ensuring everything's good.The documentation isn't terribly clear either because the actual mounting is a nonlinear process.You'll need to factor the rack mounting into your "getting ready" time.Tying up excess length on the straps is troublesome; you'll probably be rolling them up and taping them together.So you'll need tape with this rack.Last, its two screwknobs are easily lost and the product could have well been designed with a better mechanism for adjusting the rack to fit other cars.These are minor though, and the rack does carry a bike quite well.

Things to note about trunk racks in general:
They're easy theft targets; at the end of the day, the canvas straps can be cut and the whole assembly stolen.This is acceptable for driving and stopping along an interstate, but not for sitting in the Ikea lot all day.Mounting the rack also renders the trunk inaccessible, entailing some foresight when loading the car for a multi-stop trip.
