This vertical bike carrier has many advantages over both the roof mount or the horizontal tailgate mount. The bike is supported by the wheels [the way it is designed] and not by the frame as in some of the horizontal tailgate mounts. Additionally there is no obscuring of the number plate as with horizontal tailgate mounts. The bike is shielded from the main airstream and and road grit that gets thrown up from the car or truck in front. The bikes ride securely with minimal movement and with minimal air resistance therefore not affecting the fuel consumption as with roof mounted bikes. The construction is good and you should expect to get many years of use. As with all tailgate mounts care has to be taken when choosing the support points and the reasonable range of adjustment on this rack should allow for exact positioning. The adjustability also allows the carrier to fit a wide range of vehicles. I fully recommend this cycle carrier.Read full review

This is a well engineered product and was keenly price as it is no longer marketed by Saris. Unfortunately I struggled to get it to fit my car (Toyota Auris). The air foil above rear window meant it had to be fitted quite high up. It was hard work lifting a heavy mountain bike that high. But then the wheel wouldn't fit securely as the wheel holder fouled the brake mechanism. Disappointing but I had to return the item.
