I just recently changed to the Swagman Twister bike rack.

In the spring I was carrying four bikes and the Thule bike rack bent. This was my fault because the bike rack is only rated to carry 100lbs. When I first started carrying the bikes on TM I had two adult bikes and two children/youth bikes which were under the weight limit. But in the past four years the children have grown up and moved to adult size bikes and I forgot about the weight limit.

So, I bought the Swagman to replace the Thule. The Swagman bike rack is much more rugged than the Thule. It is also easier to get the bikes on and off the Swagman rack.
