Strength:
Easy to mount onto any roof rack. Looks simple & practical.
Weakness:
Sometimes I have problems clamping the bike. Probably I'm still not used to it. Anyway it's not a big problem. I'm currently using it with a set of Nikken roof rack. Holds well & no problem on highway speed up to 120km/h. Similar Products Used: None |

Weakness:
Can't clamp square tubing on FSR bike I used this rack all summer when travelling with my friends. This is a pretty decent rack but personally I would rather use a rack that is fork mounted for better stability. The clamp does not clamp square tubing very well but it will hold it. As well this type of bike rack will reduce your gas mileage because of the extra resistance and your bike usually gets covered with bugs. The tire clamps have trouble holding fatter tires like Tioga 2.3's. Overall it is a decent rack but I would not buy this type. I would rather get a fork mounted one or a rear mounted rack.
