Underachiever Posted October 11, 2010 Share Hi fellow Hubbers Wanting to upgrade from a Bike Caddy type bike rack (3 bikes - rack fits onto the tow bar) to a Thule for a long time now, but eish the price!! Saw the Atera Ad in the RIDE. Atera any good vs. Thule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted October 11, 2010 Share I also saw a Buzz Rack at Crater Cruise on the weekend - I've had almost every model of Thule and am quite a fan, but the Buzz Rack actualy looked like a better design to my Thule 943. The 943 really is small for 3 MTB's - only really carries 2 cumfortably (can squeeze 3 in, but not easy). The Buzz Rack was a bit bigger and looked like it could accomodated the 3 bikes much better. The cross-bar attachment system also looked better as it is in the middle of the rack (and customizable) as opposed to right against the boot of the car. Looks like a great product - I would be interested to get reviews from owners of these products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info on this ? To date not one reported Buzz rack has had bikes fall off !!All spare parts are available. Some retail stores refuse to pay COD for stock and therfore blame the supplier.always two sides to a story mate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight Weenie Posted November 18, 2010 Share Buzzbee I was not attacking you or the brand, I had read those complaints on a site that sold the racks (will have to go find the link) so was concerned and did as for info around the issues, thanks for the info. I eventually bought a THule Euroride 3 bike for 4K, so will see how that works during the holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted November 18, 2010 Share I looked at the Atera Strada Sport at the expo and it is really nice. The two bike is on special for R4000 direct from them for next few days. Fully lockable and tilts out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
