Although there had been several reviews giving this high marks, am always a little skeptical of something that seems to be so good for a significantly lower price that other products. Big name bike racks must have gotten their big names for a reason, right? Truth be told, had never seen or heard of the Inno Velo Gripper until tripping over it in a review of the big names. In may situation, am just getting back into biking. Found a bike (easier said than done these days, during the pandemic) and needed to get it from the bike shop to my home. Order the Gripper on the strength of the reviews, a video showing how to set it up. When it showed up, was a little amazed at how small and lightweight it was. Without the bike, it's a little hard to know just how and where to place the brackets to hold the bike. Set it up from right out of the box in the bike shop's parking lot. All went together per the fairly simple instructions. A little tweaking and all put together with "custom fit". Rode it up the highway about 40 miles and the bike rode rack steady in the back of the truck. Didn't wiggle, shimmy, slip or shift - not once. Was amazed at how well it actually worked. No damage to the bike and its shiny new paint, no damage to the truck bed or rails. Best part was after unclamping the brackets from the side rails of the truck they stowed neatly under the back seat in the cab. Somebody actually thought this one through. Would recommend to anyone. Would buy again, but probably not anytime soon as it should outlast me and the bike.

So far so good! Seems to fit my 2001 Honda CR-V with factory roof rack very well. I haven't taken it on the highway yet, so not sure how it will handle higher speeds (it's high crosswinds I'm mostly worried about). But so far, I really like it!
