 Excellent product June 6, 2010

Thule products are of excellent quality. This is one of the few hitch racks capable of holding five bikes and it is extremely sturdy and rugged.
Just what we needed! May 30, 2010

We have a road bike, hybrid and two odd size kid's bikes. The kind with wide frames and not a whole lot of openings to get them over bike rack bars. We couldn't fit them all on our old Thule so I looked into this. It's perfect. Forget getting 5 bikes on this, however, it's worth a few extra bucks so you don't have to spend your leisure time trying the calculus of how to get 4 odd bikes on a 4 rack system.
Easy to set up and the drop down bar and tilt down feature a perfect for SUV's with a variety of hatch and window configurations. Also, the rubber rests that the bike frames fit in make it easier to get the smaller bike opens over. The stabilizer feature is optional and we only use that for the road bike and hybrid so they don't sway.
Some people don't like buying the lock that Thule sells (about $50). You can use the bolt that comes with the system and the convenient tool they give you to keep in the glove box. However, I like the fact that I can bolt the rack to the car and have the lock - First, while it can be knocked off with a solid hammer whack, it does offer some security from theft. Second, it gives me a little piece of mind if the bolt ever came loose on a long trip and slipped out. To me, the $50 investment is a lot cheaper than a rack that comes loose.
Nice product. Sturdy. Well Designed. May 24, 2010

The product seems great so far. It was a breeze to assemble and after trying 2 adult bikes on it, I would say that it should be able to accommodate 5 adult bikes easily as long as you get a cross-bar adapter for each "girl-style" bike. It's adjustable enough that I could still fit my wife's "girl-bike" without an adapter, but that put hers into a weird enough position that I couldn't put my bike right next to it. I had to leave a space between them because my handlebars wanted to be inside her back tire. With the proper adapter, though, I'm sure they would've fit right next to each other. The 3m cinch-strap is a breeze to use. I also like that this rack keeps all 5 bikes on the outboard side instead of some other 5-bike racks I saw that had one extremely close to the car. The rubber straps are a breeze to use, too.
Perfect so far March 27, 2010

Easy to assemble, install and operate. Have used with only two bikes so far, but four doesn't seem a stretch. Don't know about five. No noise during transport of two bikes on a 1,000 mile round trip. Was damaged when car was rear ended and I'm replacing with the same model.

I looked at various brands of bicycle racks at my local REI but after talking to several friends, decided to purchase a 5-bike Thule rack. I am very happy with my decision. It is a high quality rack and holds all of my family's bicycles. The price was significantly cheaper on Amazon.com, I was given free shipping, and it arrived in three days. We are very happy with our purchase.
