Unigrip Bike Rack

Overview: The TopLine Unigrip is a simple but very efficient device that carries your bicycles securely in your pickup bed without the need for drilling or removing the front wheels. This easy-to-install system fits any pickup truck, long or short bed, foreign or domestic.

Cheers:
My truck came with Nissan’s Tie-down system that made the clamp impossible to install according to the instructions. I figured out a way to hook up the clamp to the rail system and was able to install the rack. Once installed, I can attach up to 2 bicycles without the need to put the tailgate down. The Bikes have never budged on speeds over 80 MPH, bumps, and long trips. The system is extremely simple to install and uninstall, just slide the clamp, clamp the main arm and the add-a-bike to the bikes’ top tubes and you are ready to go. The Bike rack system comes with a locking cable that will deter the theft of the bikes.

Jeers: Depending on the shape of your top tube, the clamp’s screw can rub and scratch the paint of the bike. This can be fixed by adding some tape between the top tube and the clamp.

Summary:
For about $69.97 , this ingenious rack system is a good buy. You can also buy additional add-a-bike clamps that will enable you to carry up to 4 bikes.
