Review on 🚲 Thule Gateway Bike Carrier: The Ultimate Solution for Easy and Secure Bike Transportation by Dan Barrett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Best had to return to Outdoor Recreation

Although Thule did not recommend this item for my 2012 BMW X5, the manual that came with the item recommends it for this car, even with the angle setting 8 (9 proved more appropriate). The top straps only work by wrapping them around the roof rails - it works, but it's tricky to set up for one person. The belt hooks do not fit the factory spoiler. The biggest disappointment is the stupid multi-hole rubber straps to attach the bike to the luggage rack. Very heavy on fingers/hands and not as effective as a regular stepless adjustment ratchet strap.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Only available in black
