Can't speak to this product, but I have personally moved away from these to a tray style rack (Kuat Sherpa). It grabs the wheel instead of the frame, which helps protect it from rubbing I had when I had a hanging rack.

Depending on your bike, a proper rack can be a lot cheaper than a new bike.

The rating on REI doesn't look good at all.

I happened to see this as well. Almost pulled a fast one on this until I saw that it took 3 bikes. 3? Really? Kinda odd. I do see benefits of the Helium line being lightweight and all. With that said, I'm transitioning from a roof setup to a tire hitch config AND very hesitant/reluctant to spending close to $1500 on a 4-bike setup with the XTR.

Still learning how things work with the tow hitch setup. I'm so used to having a cross bar setup - most bike trays and snowboard carriers are compatible.

Again, thumbs up to OP. I would have pulled the trigger on this if it could hang 4 bikes. I would even chance it with my hybrid aluminum carbon bike

U-Haul does installs for pretty reasonable prices.

i moved away from using a bike rack to just taking off the front wheel off my bike and put it in the trunk. I dont have to keep looking back to see if the bike has fallen off the rack for the peace of mind.

This doesn't look tough. All the important parts are plastic. How on earth is the MRSP on this $500.
I bought an Allen Sports rack 12 years ago. It's similar to this. Tow hitch mounted for 3 bikes.The entire thing is metal, and it was only $100.

The reviews don't seems that great but Im looking for something that will swing back to clear the hatch of my 4Runner without breaking the bank.
I went cheap last time and the Swagman XC2 launched one of my mountain bikes onto the road after going down the road just a few miles.

I would avoid these and spend the money for a platform rack as they are so much superior in every way.

If you're set on this type of rack you can find them cheap on Craigslist and such since they aren't popular these days.

I installed my hitch by myself twice already (2nd time when I upgraded from 2018 Kona SEL to 2023 Kona Limited), it is relatively easy if you can lift the back of the SUV and have a wrench to tighten the nuts (preferably a torque wrench).
