Awesome product
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Was looking for a rack that holds the bike in the truck bed instead of hanging from the trailer hitch. This product did not disappoint, I ordered another one. It was easy to build, very sturdy. Holds the bike well in the bed, only moved a little when driving down some dirt roads. Overall the rack holds the bike in place but if you want to make sure no one steals it you’ll still need another bike lock.

Awesome single bike holder! 29er fits 5.5ft bed
Price is a lot but now that I have it I think it is worth it. Has a built in lock with key and a medium frame 29er will fit with this in a 5.5ft truck bed. Install was super easy. Use the blank key to install the lock mechanism.

Great rack! Small security improvements needed
This rack has been very convenient for transporting my road bike in the truck bed. I really like being able to keep the front wheel on while keeping the bike very secure for travel. The lock mechanism is pointless as you could easily cut the rubber feet and take the bike and rack in a few seconds, so security could be improved. I wish they had a multiple bike version of this as we often cary 2 or 3 bikes. The price was a bit higher then I would like but there isn't another rack like this. It works just as well for my mountain bike as well so it's versatility is great.

Best solution for my use case!
I've been researching a solution to transport bikes in my full size truck that wouldn't have the bikes hanging over the tailgate and wouldn't involve permanently obstructing my bed and this one was a clear winner as it checks all the boxes. Easy to set up and tear down, holds the bikes well. It's a bit pricy, but I recommend it if you can afford one (or a few)!

Flimsy lock
Expensive for a lock that does not work. Key either does not match product or lock is broken on delivery.

Great option for hauling bicycles in a pickup truck
Installs in seconds, uninstalls in seconds, only touches the bikes tire. Very cool design that WORKS! Now I don’t have to leave hitch mounted carriers hanging off my truck…

Didn’t come with all the parts. Update Update. I called there support and they sent me straps
It did not come with all the parts the straps that go into tailgate are missing. 250$ and can’t use it.Update update. I called there customer support line and within minutes they were sending me the straps. Very quickly. Support was very under standing. And within days. I had everything I needed. Rack work. Perfectly. Just what I needed. Very happy I ordered another rack. And it came with everything needed. And we are using them both. Works very well.

Quick and easy way to haul mountain bikes (one 29”, one 27.5”) in my truck’s bed
Pretty easy to assemble. Uses ski boot type bindings to connect frame with tailgate anchor straps. Solid overall, but I suspect the buckles will be the likeliest failure point / require the closest attention.The insta-gater has a cable and SKS lock system to lock the bike to the unit. However, a thief could easily remove the insta-gater itself by simply removing the anchor straps, and hauling bike and rack to a nearby vehicle.Pro: ease of use; holds bike securely for travelCon: securing bike properly against theft will require a separate locking system
