Stiftung Warentest examined eight trailer hitch bike racks with a price range of 450 to 665 euros. The most important criteria in the test were the topics of safety and handling.

The Thule bike rack EasyFold XT is the test winner in the big test with an overall rating of 1.9. The Eufab Premium II Plus is the cheapest model and has a rating of 2.5. The rear carrier from Westfalia Automotive achieved good values, but had to give up in terms of handling and stability.
