We were specifically wanting to purchase a 5-bike rack since our cars have five seatbelts and often five riders. That coupled with the easy load/unload that even our youngest child can do on their own made it the clear choice for our family and friends. The only con is that the rack is a significant presence with its size and weight. Easily manageable with two people when you need to transfer the rack so the pros outweigh the con. BONUS - our bikes are now neatly stored in our bike shed for the winter months using the included mounting bracket for the rack. We are really satisfied with our purchase and use of the 5 Bike VelociRAX X!
