Do you mean this one Leeds Question

I think Thule have two levels of racks and although this one will probably be ok for 'family' bikes, personally, if you're carrying anything valuable on it, I'd look to their higher level as there are a number of features that make it sturdier, more secure etc.

Still a great price though Thumbs Up ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Thumbs Up Just making sure you're happy. I must admit, I am basing this on the pictures (I've not actually seen the £120 in the flesh) all I can say is my Euroway one does look a lot sturdier, but it could be all show and swish metal/plastic. Confused
One thing it does have is a locking ability to the tow bar, but thats probably not going to justify the £170 price difference Laughing ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Nik - as I say, not seen one in the flesh - but good to hear its sturdy. Thumbs Up

The bikes on the rack pictures totalled over £10k, and the next trip will be far greater value as a mate has just got a Special Edition Dogma 2 Bow down and hopefully I'll have a SS EVO if I get my way Mr. Green ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I think the £120 unit from Tesco is normally £180 and I believe it does have the ability to be locked to the tow ball, the one I used did.

Nice bikes.
I suppose if you think about it, the more expensive the bike the better it is for the rack as more expensive bikes weigh sod all?
I'd be more concerned carrying a couple of halfords specials.
