And alternative frame style bikes should work as long as the hooks contact. more

First impression of the rack on the back of the Honda, I think it looks good, this Thule rack kinda has a timeless design if you ask me, so, you know, and honestly just about any type of accessory you put on the back of the pilot looks right at home, but this could be a great way to get a lot of bikes to and from the trails so this can hold up to a total of four. And one of the great things about it is it's super easy to use and figure out and live with, you know, personal I don't want anything overly complicated or difficult and that's not the case at all with this one. With that said though, the way it's going to hold your bike down, it's gonna use three straps, so you're gonna have two straps up here and then a strap down here, what that one's gonna help do is eliminate side to side movement, of way your bike aren't banging into each other as you're going down the road. Well, why don't we go ahead just take our bike off so we can have a better look at the rack. And just pull the iron on the straps. more
