"I received my Dura a few weeks ago and took it on an out of town camp trip this weekend. It's very easy to assemble and install. I love the hitch lock, pull pin release and the anti-sway. The rack rides like a charm and is very well made! Highly recommend this bike rack!"

"This is a great rack with all the features I was looking for. Bike lock, hitch lock, parallel tilt, well built and looks nice as well. One word of advise however, if you have moutain bike you may have a hard time getting the frame over the yellow lock things where the reflector are. I have a Jamis X1,a Jamis X3 and two kids mountain bike ( 20" and 24" ) that will NOT fit over the ends of the frame due to the narrow space between to top bar and bottom bar of the frame. You have two choices, one is to put the bottom of the frame on top of the rack and the widest part on the bar or ( what I did ) purchase something like a Saris Bike Beam http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BT0Z9Q/ref=ox_ya_oh_product or similar product to create a nice horizontal top frame bar. I believe this is also an issue with many other frames and mountain or fukk suspension bikes. All in all a great bike rack."

"I was a little hesitant to spend the extra money to buy this rack compared to others made by big-name brands but it was well worth it. The assembly was very quick and the rack fit perfectly into the hitch. My first use was a four-hour trip to the beach and the rack held three bikes very securely. My wife was very impressed with how easy it was to lower the rack and get things for kids out of the back of our CR-V."

"We are very pleased with our purchase. An excellent piece of engineering and design. It is somewhat difficult to mount our mountain bikes but it works. Designed for touring bikes. Mounted on my wife's car and she has no problem using it."

"Shipping was quick. Arrived with no damage, all parts included. Assembly was easy and quick. OUr first use was for a 300 mile trip. Struggled the first time loading bikes and learning how they fit. We have four bikes, two of which are kids bikes. Had initially bought two bicyle adapters and had to purchase a third for my wifes bike. Bought this rack for tilting feature to access the back of our minivan. 10 year old son was able to move rack up and down."

"I have had a thule rack that had a swing away feature to allow you to access your back hatch door. The Softride is a much better design. The rack is very sturdy, the bikes do not move and ride securely on the rack. The pull down feature that allows you to access your back hatch is very easy to use. All in all, the Softride is a better design than the more expensive thule. I also like the fact that you can lengthen the rack a few inches to allow more room between the racks."

"The quality and the appearance of the Softride Access Dura 4-Bike rack is the best money can buy. Once you tightened the bolt on the hitch, you can't hear any rattling. It's rock solid. The hitch lock and cable lock are included which is a very good deal. One of the plastic end of the arm was cracked during the shipment and both Auto Anything and Softride customer was excellent in handling the situation by sending a replacement part withing 2 to 3 days."
