4Cleverly engineered
By Andrew Lorente
First off-- bikes go on and off in a snap. The very first time I used this rack, it probably took me less than a minute. One of the really nice features is the design of the quick-release skewer. The cam mechanism is built into the front of the tray. This has two advantages:
- The long lever means you can also have a lot of travel in the clamp. The skewer goes from being clamped down to being wide enough to remove the fork, even with "lawyer nipples," just by moving the lever. That means no fiddling with the bolt tension every time you want to put the bike on the rack--just drop it in and clamp it.
- The same lock core that locks the bike to the carrier, locks the carrier to the loadbar. Turn one key and the whole assembly is secured.

The rest of the Peloton gives a similar impression of attentive design. The strap that holds the rear wheel down is easy to attach and easy to release. I would say the only downside is the somewhat 1990s-Volvo aesthetics.

5Easy to install, even easier to use
By Laura M. Zhu
This may not be the top of the line front fork mounted bike rack that Thule offers... but it's all you need! The rack holds your bike absolutely secure (you can tell when you grab the bike to try and rock it and your whole car ends up rocking - not the bike!) Plus there are great You Tube videos out there showing you how to install it and how to use it. A total no-brainer!

5Great
By triguy
I had to get the adapters, but the rack is great. I just went on a trip and drove 9 hours pushing 80mph w/ no issues. Great product and would recommend.
