Bell Deluxe 2-Bike Carrier

bell bike rack

Strengths: holds two bikes, rubber handles that wont scretch bike frame. very good for the price

Weakness: doesn't seem sturdy enough.

Relatively small bike rack, convenient for storage. It can hold two picks if necessarily, but I tried it with a single bike thus far and it worked fine. Drove about 70 at around 65 on highway and the bike remained stationary, but sometimes the metal fastening ends would shift from side to side during turns. Overall very good buy, inexpensive, and sturdy enough(probably for slower speeds).

Great Bike for the price

Strengths: Installed onto my vehicle with no problem at all. Seems to work just fine

Weakness: They could have givin you some sort of strap to tie the tires down to the rack you have to supply your own way to do that. Other than that it is good.

The bike rack looks good, goes on my car just fine in like 5 minutes, stays tight, my mountain bike fits on the rack just fine, and I have not had any troubles with it yet so far. Will be using it to take my bike to college next month and it was really cheap something i could afford.

Bell 2-Bike Carrier -- Good Price Value

Strengths: Easy setup; good value for the price

Weakness: Velcro strap craddle; but I was told that it was an improvement from the previous plastic strap craddle which breaks easily after a couple of uses.

I have been using this carrier for over two months now and am satisfied with my purchase. I didn’t expect a whole lot considering the price I paid from Wal-mart. I found it relatively easy to setup and mount my bike without reading the instructions. The straps attaching to the car were easily labeled. However, the Velcro straps that secures your bike to the cradle bothered me; so I purchased a...

I have been using this carrier for over two months now and am satisfied with my purchase. I didn’t expect a whole lot considering the price I paid from Wal-mart. I found it relatively easy to setup and mount my bike without reading the instructions. The straps attaching to the car were easily labeled. However, the Velcro straps that secures your bike to the cradle bothered me; so I purchased a pack of bungee cords to secure the bike for peace of mind. My 30 lbs. bike was secure enough at 55+ mph.

Bike rack for less

Strengths: price, adaptableness

Weakness: hooks damage paint, heavy

I bought a bell bike rack for two bikes 6 months ago. I used to change it from my dodge sedan to my wife SUV and it fixed very well on both cars. After 5 months of use, my car trunk paint started to crash. I am assuming that the hooks are the responsible because of the several changes between the two cars. Therefore, I am buying a new one for my car. I recommend to every one who is planning to...

I bought a bell bike rack for two bikes 6 months ago. I used to change it from my dodge sedan to my wife SUV and it fixed very well on both cars.

I recommend to every one who is planning to buy this product, look for a piece of rubber to put between the hooks and the painted surface. Final thought, If you do not need a third cradle for a third bike, do not buy the “3 cradle arm” because your will pay more than double for something that you do not need. (Small bikes can easily fix inside the trunk)
