Pros
Not to inexpensive.
Easy to set up - No tools required.
Secures bikes well.

Cons
Locks must be purchased separately.
Rear wheel straps will fly right off if you forget to fasten them when rack is empty.
Rails are long - Fine for say - a subaru outback, but likely too long for anything shorter with a hatch.

A sturdy, fairly inexpensive rack great for those with factor crossbars.

Pros
No tools required for installation
Cons
Not Universal fit as claimed by manufacturer. Bike rails extend too far & will damage rear hatch when opened.
Review
Not recommended for vehicles with a rear hatch.

Pros
Easy to install (no tools) and no need to buy anything else. Holds bikes securely and seems to be well constructed.
Cons
Fork clamp rests at an awkward angle due to the placement of my vehicle crossbars. Can be wobbly until you find the right setting and crank it down TIGHT.
Review
If you have a factory roof rack system, get this bike tray - it's inexpensive compared to others and it just works. I'm using mine on a Subaru with aero bars and it's great.
