What puzzles me that they can't make things right. There huge market for fat wheels . Most bikes take 4.5 or bigger rack fits 4 inch. Why would you leave out the market. Kaut same Just pain ass too use even though they sell it as fat bike. Thule same screwed it up and was designed for 170 rear spacing not any bigger so 2 197 Treks or Specialized don't fit. Head shaking. And they call themselves engineers.

What I find strange is that people compare the Thule said it is cheaply made it is actually very well made. I folowed 4 diffrent bike racks as we drove 1500 to go race the Maah Daah Hey. You see all the bike racks on the road that have 1 and 1/2 inch piping and they sway all the time the Thule is solid and the Kuat. I need to post some photos were got rear ended and my rack went into a denali till the 4rack and the rack is solid . That I have photos and proof of a Oneup would flolded and I would have lost my bikes.

Ok problems witht he reveiw. A it fantastick rack I owend the one with 4 bikes. Here is the faults reviewss leave out. A. the rack can only cary fatbikes with 170 rear spacing any thing wider like most fattire bikes the arm tahat holds the front wheel with push agains the rear axcel of the second bike. The bikes for Fattires the second 3 /4 need to be half inch futher.. Even with 148 it tight. even if you move the racks to extraam opisits sides that they can slide. B the rear sliding brakets with straps are awesome but the little screw that prevents thm from sliding of the arms should have lot bigger screw head or stick out longer for they can slide off. I Had been rear ended and this is the strongest rack in the market I have the photos to prove it. Next the service and suport then to get parts is amazing and what a pleasure. I know bought new Kuat and I miss the Thule every day . The kaut don't come close when coms to streanth although looks strong to the Thule. Next the Kuats straps for fat tires are after thoughts and disgrace for that pprice rack. The Kuat arms also are not as good position ast the thule. I had a Fttire bike that got puncher and had to pump it every hour but obvoisly on 1500 mile journey you don't and it still due to the shape of the arm held the bike safely inplace the whole way. Here the Thule outshines the Kuat again. Even in diffrent tire sizes the shape of the arms part that go over the wheel is lot better designed. If you don't have 2 or 4 fat tires . This the best rack on the market. I not owend a ONEUP so apart from expericae with that I owend pretty much all the rest.

Bought one and it can not carry 2 Fat bikes. What an absolute fail for a company that sells them as a fat bike carrier. Will return it tomorrow. It is beyond that the company can launch a product that does not work. Tried to load my Fatboy Comp and Wifes Helga on it and the arms touch the bike rear to where it would damage the bike if I ride it like that. ' How can you design a product launch it without checking are you sitting at the desk with CAD and think it's good? They should made the arm longer that carries the bikes by 2 inch and the with I think with blunto will also touch frame.

I love my Fat tire bike. But really we don't all the tire choices. Then to bike makers think we can all afford these prices it getting reidiculous. We need bikes in the under 2 grand not 3.5 to 5 crazy .

Think that freaks me about their gear there is nothing that fit us bigger guys. Thier pants go to like 38, and I am 40-42. There are a lot of us bigger boys riding fatbikes and want the clothing. We are in the USA there are bigger people here.
