and a regular mountain bike on it. Really great, highly
recommended."

attaches once you find the right hook placements. Tested it on an
80 km journey with two bikes, no issues."
- "Bought this item without any problems. Easy to set up and very
good quality."
- "Good, but... The product seems to be well-made, but the metal
hooks have no protection on the straps' contact points, which can
damage the car's paintwork. A rubber or thermoformed silicone
protection would have been a good idea. Unfortunately, I will have
