Piston Pro X Hitch Rack - 2-Bike

Car bike rack of my dreams

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Everything I ever wanted out of a bike rack. Installation was easier than expected, did it in under an hour into a two inch trailer hitch, and removal is easy as heck other than it being heavy for some, wasn't a problem for me. The fastest most secure bike rack, takes seconds to load and unload everything from 29" 2.3 MTBs to 700x32 road bikes to 650b touring bikes and holds them steady on Interstate and gravel roads. Looks great, ingeniously designed, folds up to get out of the way and looks good. Signal lights work fantastic. And specifically on a Subaru Forester Wilderness edition, license plate is clear, rear camera is plenty visible, and it doesn't interfere with blindspot detection. We'll see how long the kashima piston arms last, but for now, as a former bike shop employee who has installed hundreds of racks of customers cars, this is the best rear rack I've ever come across. Some of the worries about wiring seems to have been revised with the model we received, no more magnetic interfaces. Modular arm designs means in future you should be able to replace troubled sections if needed.
