I am about to buy one: [url= http://www.roofbox.co.uk/bike-carriers/bike-carriers-racks-range.php#strada3 ]From here[/url]
With the adaptor for a fourth bike. Mate has one and it seems very good. Anyone else have experience before I spend £300 🙁
Got one - it's a very nice peice of kit, can be a bit fiddly to get multiple bikes on to (you have to plan how the arms are going to go through each bike to reach the last bike) but once it's all on it's very solid. The slide away from the car trick is very useful as well. Got mine at a reduction on the www.roofbox.co.uk returns/bargains section last year, so may be worth a look at that before you buy.

I hadone for a bit too. Very impressed with build quality and it all worked, Like Marmoset says you have to think about it when loading but once you have done it a couple of times and sorted which bike goes where it becomes easier.
I got mine from the roofbox bargain bucket too and delivery was very prompt.
Thanks guys. Bought one.
Thirded - good bit of kit - make sure you have the Euro connector in the car electrics though 'cos while the rack comes with an adaptor it doesn't give you fogs or reversing lights. Fogs I could live without but reversing on the car lights in the dark just lights the bikes up and not where you're going.
And thirded on roofbox - they had to get mine in from Germany as they were out of stock but were really good about keeping me up to date with where it was - think they satellite tracked it across europe.
Edit - 30 second too slow
I've just bought the Atera Strada DL and finding it a bitch to get off the two bar.
Let me know how you get on.
No problems with mine and it's not annoying either, you saw it in action at the log. I like the compact size when not in use, fits in the clio boot (2 bike version).
Can you tell me what type of towbars you are using for this going to get one, been to towbar shop and he is trying to talk me into swan neck, or will i get away with standard uk one
Yep - another satisfied customer here too!
This is the best towbar rack bar none - I particularly like the ease of fitting and the fact I can store it into my Golf boot!
Ace for someone like me with dogs and bikes 🙂
Everybody who's seen mine has been impressed.....
BTW the Strada fits both 'standard' and 'swans neck' balls
I had one but it was a unsuitable with the bikes I had with the arms going through bikes, I returned it for a refund. The thule was better for me as the arms for each bike go over the bikes rather than through,
