Really Good Review Guys! I agree with everything you said. I have the 4x and it's been awesome. Solidly built, easy to load and use, and just a great rack. Velocirax customer service is awesome as well.
I learned some new tips watching this, thanks dudes. The only other tip I have is if you put the bikes longest to shortest left to right the handlebars wont bonk the bike next to them at all if they wobble.
@@Blake_Cherubini you guys helped plenty we were looking at a Lolo until I saw your rack at Horns and I was like oh, this is way way better, we need this.
Great review, just picked up the 6 and love it. Only con is that its heavy and definitely a 2 person job to mount/remove but as you mention the weight comes with the quality and stability.
Great video. Thank you. We rented some bikes recently from a resort in Utah and these were the bike racks they used. Loved it. Wish I had known before I bought my rack. Can’t express how nice having 4 bikes within a few feet of the vehicle is.
If you blow a tire, how hard is it to haul the bike home with a flat? Will it stay in the basket with no air pressure and if so do you think it would damage the rim to get the bike home?
@@Blake_Cherubini I saw this rack a few week ago on another video and I’m sold. Plus the Sequoia being so tall I won’t be able to use roof racks. This is perfect for my 5 bikes!!!
Any concern about damage to your tire rim seeing how the bike is supported by the Front tire. Plan on doing road trips with it and don't want to damage my bikes
really great work. Have you used the rack over the winter yet? Any corrosion issues? With all the salt here in Ohio this is a big concern to me with any steel rack.
I’m looking at the 5x as well, could you measure the total width of it, (top bar) and if possible could you measure from center to both sides. I have a smaller suv then you guys so trying to see if I could get away with the 5x. Thank you very much!
Have you had tire run from the baskets. I have a Alta6 rack and have had tire rub through to the bead. It sucks and Alta told me to wrap the basket in inner tube which has improved it but it still does it. So when you got buddies in the van with you and you get to the destination and their freshie is already showing beads it kinda sucks. 😂
I’ve got a Kuat NV 2.0 that I have no complaints with when carrying just 1-2 bikes. Would be very interested in this for shuttle days, especially if it works with the swing away adapter. Guess it would as long as it’s within the weight limit.
We have a swing away adaptor. I think it will work perfect. It would be pushing the weight limit for sure fully loaded but I think the weight limit is for when the swing away is extended.
The 5x is pretty wide. It’s as wide as our sequoias. It would still work perfectly fine but if your worries about the width of the rack I would go with the 5
