Original Post, Unboxing | 5.23.2013It just arrived yesterday. It's heavy, weighing about 60lbs. It came double boxed and the parts are all well wrapped in foam and protected with cardboard spacers. It comes mostly pre-assembled in three main pieces; the hitch and the two arms that hold each bike. It also includes two small parts bags. It took me about five to ten minutes to unbox and unwrap everything. Everything looks solid and high quality. After considerable research, tray style hitch mounted bike racks are great(though they have their cons too). I'll update after assembly, installation, and use.Update 1, Assembly & Installation | 6.1.2013I assembled the rack, which means I screwed the two trays to the hitch. You start by inserting the hitch mount into your vehicles hitch. That's all there is to assembly. Just unscrew 4 screws from each tray and then use them to attach the tray to the hitch mount, repeat for the other tray and you're done. This took about 10-20 minutes. The arm folds down easily with the push of a button, it folds down a bit further for easier loading and trunk/ hatch access. It's heavy, but it's smooth. I loaded and unloaded my bikes a few times and it is very fast and incredibly easy. I've only used it a few times so far, about 4 or 5 times with my XL 29er MTB, 61cm CycloCross bike, and my wife's City bike with fenders. All work great, with the exception of my wife's bike... This rack cannot be used with fenders, I just used the arm to hold on to the down tube instead of the front wheel and it worked fine. On one trip, I forgot to latch the rear wheel and didn't budge. So far, this is by far the best bike rack out there, I'm very happy with it. The built in hitch and cable bike locks are a great added feature. I'll update again after a full summer of use.
