Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack

I’m aware the isi carrier is well regarded here, but just asking does anyone have experience of Thule T2 Pro hitch mounted carrier on the back of a Disco?

Hi, I have no experience of this rack.

But if you're looking for a great alternative to the iSi, may I recommend the Saris Superclamp series (4 bike or 2 bike).

Saris Freedom Hitch Mount Superclamp 2 Bike Car Rack Black, and Pushy's often goes on sale (just sign up to the email spam).

For around town and fire trail use, it is super fast to install and to get bikes on and off, and much cheaper than Thule. I say this as I have an iSi that I am constantly using with 4 bikes, and often go out with a friend with the Saris SuperClamp 4 bike also loaded with 4 bikes. The Saris is much faster to adapt to different bike sizes (eg if you go out with different friends/bikes) without the use of tools, whereas the iSi may get fiddly. The disadvantage of the Saris is that it may be hard to find a place to permanently mount a light board, whereas on the iSi I have been able to mount it quite easily. So all in all it is around the same loading/unloading time.

The Yakima Dr Tray is also getting some good reviews, and had been "coming soon" on the Australian site with a reasonable price, but has somehow disappeared from the site?
