Topline Heavy Duty Premium Uni-Grip Truck Bed Bike Rack – 2-Bike Carrier Holder for Pickup Trucks – Easy Installation, Compatible with All Truck Beds, Made in USA (UG2500-2)

I was some what skeptical when we bought this package but Wow! what a pleasant surprise when after our first trip to a neighboring state (60 mile trip) and at highway speeds (70 +) both bike were secure and not much movement. We have a shorter box so the front wheels had to be turned in a little but that is okay. What I have discovered over the years of using this product is there are two things I would suggest, 1 to the manufacturer and one to the consumer.1) Manufacturer - Please, please develop a quick release to replace the "T Bolt" assembly.2) Consumer - If you place a piece of Velcro around handlebar & brake it acts like a safety brake and the bikes ride way more securely.Thank you for this product, you have made traveling with bikes more enjoyable!

Ok I waited to review this product until i was able to really put it to the test. I'm am happy to say that this Bike rack works great! its easy to install and after the first time using it you be able to have the bikes up an in the truck in a matter of minutes. I've used it with 1 and 2 bikes installed and bikes did not fall over. I've driven on the highway 70 mph plus speeds, country gravel back roads, tight turns,speed bumps and sudden stops and this rack was able to keep bikes upright and damage free. My ONLY complaint about this system is the clamps. I wish they were just a tad bigger, I have to open the clamp to the outter most postion to get them on the top tube. but you can always clamp to the seat post if your top tube is too large. which I have to do with my Cannondale mountain bike. Still belive this product deserved 5 stars anyway.

Did not work with my 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid short bed with a tonneau cover. The tonneau cover rail blocks the access for the clamp, but even if it didn't, it seems like my C-channel would. I wish it worked - seems like a nice, solidly built product.

Ordered this product on a weekend with 3 day shipping, despite the warning of taking an extra day of processing I received the order on Wed of the next week, 1 day sooner than originally forecast by the system. One questionable aspect of the shipping was that the system arrived in it's basic on-shelf style retail cardboard packaging with no other container around it. Just shipping labels slapped on it. It arrived intact with no damage despite the fact that it was sealed with just a single "tuck-in" style cardboard tab. No tape sealing it at all! So someone could have just opened the box and removed items or it could have fallen out during shipping if the container was accidentaly jarred open!As for the product it is light weight, small, easy to store (can acutually put it under the truck seat) and very easy to assemble and mount the bikes. According to the style/size of bikes you plan to carry you might need to try a couple of different mounting points in order to get a solid mount that doesn't have the bikes hitting each other if you use the 2-4 bike add on system. once you find the sweet spots for mounting, it takes less than 5 minutes to install the system and mount/unmount the two bikes in the future. The 2 bike system I ordered comes with two adjustable nylon straps to secure the front wheel/forks to the frame to prevent swiveling druing transit. Due to the tube angles on the bikes and the buckle design it is hard to get these tight enough for them not to slip or flex. I think some kind of elastic material would work better. (see my fix below)My best suggestion is if you buy this system get some velcro straps, or rubber bands to go around the brake levers and the hand-grips, effectively "locking" or engaging the bike brakes for the duration of transport. I used some velcro straps intended to bundle computer cords together. This dramatically increased the stability of the whole system by preventing the bikes from rolling slightly forward and backward due to the flex and play in the front wheel straps. Once I made this "mod" the bikes hardly move at all during transport!Time will tell as to the durability of the plastic and rubber clamp parts, but for the price it is a hard system to beat!UPDATE: 2016 - I have been using this product for many years now and it is still the best solution out there with one exception. Topline needs to make a clamp, possibly with a flexible strap on the bike end that allows clamping to larger Carbon fiber bike tubes!!! I upgraded bikes and with the new larger tubes I have to use either the handle bar or the seat post which is not nearly as stable. Simple design option would make a world of difference. Also please consider adding some padding under the part that goes on the plastic top rail of the truck. The current solution dents the plastic truck rail when it is tightened.

The truck bed bike rack is exactly what we wanted. I was very disappointed that the company, who took the order and shipped it, did not put the correct address on the package. This caused delivery to be held up a week longer than promised while UPS sorted out the problem. Certainly not an Amazon or UPS problem. All information was entered correctly on the Amazon website. Fortunately I have a wonderful UPS delivery lady at my workplace and she took charge and got my shipment delivered. Thanks UPS!!!Other than that, the rack works as promised. Very easy to set up and take down. We have used it twice to go on road trips and there is no movement in the bikes while we are on the road. As we have not had the rack very long, I cannot attest to haw long it will last, only time will tell. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone who is in the market.

I ordered this rack to carry two bikes in the back of my 2006 Nissan Frontier. When I tried to install it, I discoverd that it will not work if your truck has an inside the bed track system for moveble tie-downs. When I called the manufacturer I was told that they knew that it wouldn't work for a truck with the inside track. I mentioned that there was no mention of this in their ad and she simply said "I know it". No "I'm sorry", nothing. I would advise against buying anything from this company. If this is an example of their customer service, I can't imagine doing business with them. The sad thing is, it would be easy for them to get this to work by simply offering a shorter mounting block that goes up inside the lip of the bed. If I wanted to take the time to cut it down I could make this work, but i don't wnt a company the misrepresents their product and then shown no concern for a disatisfied customer to have any of my money.
