I've driven for hours with 2 adult mountain bikes......no problems. Just make sure it is secured.

I googled the bicycle that you mentioned, and it looks like there's too much structure located at the bike's balance point. This bike rack clamps at the center balance of the bike frame. I have a Giant road bike, a simple frame without the suspension that a mountain bike has and it works fine.

I hauled a 450lb sport bike on it for about 650 miles and didn't have any problems. I'd be real careful hauling something that heavy as some of the parts aren't super heavy duty like the tie down holes. Also make sure your truck can hold that kind of tongue weight, hate to get it loaded on there then hit a bump and rip your hitch off the back of the truck.

this bottle cage was holding good on my road bike, I think it will work the same with the mountain bike as long as you using regular water bottles.

I use the Topeak Explorer Bike Rack but it appears that all of them are acceptable; you need to have the "track" underneath the bag so you can slide it on securely and the attachment crossbar to hold it in place. From the pictures, it appears that all the MTX frames offered on Amazon have these two features.

I just took it on a 6 hour trip (with 1 bike), but I see no reason you couldn't. It feels secure. Just make sure to use all the straps to keep the tires from turning and just to make it more solid a ride.

I have mountain bikes in my rack and no problem with it holding those tires. Looks like it can handle tires up to 31/4 inches wide. If your tires are bigger then that, it might not work for you.

This is only for short term transport. I would only use it if its to and from wherever your taking the bikes. The rack is easy to assemble. To take down and to put up.

Yep. We put it on a trunk mounted rack and drove 1200 miles w/o a problem. It mounted just like any other bike.

I have two fairly high end mountain bike (Scott Spark 940 and Niner Air 9) and neither of these bikes are able to use the attachment. I haven't tried on my road bike but I am a little weary of hauling my kid on my carbon fiber road bike as I am not sure if the bike was designed for those type of forces.

No idea on the bike. It fits most road bikes, so I think a mountain bike would be even easier with some disassembly. Another note - the latches are NOT durable, and the wheels don't turn on the case, so if you have to haul it a ways or through multiple airports I wouldn't recommend it. It's okay for occasional travel with your bike, and it's a good price for a hard case. Otherwise, no bells and whistles.

It is secure as it is. I have made 3 trips to FL from MI and back. 10,000 miles with no problems. Just strap it down good.

I used it on a road bike build & it has worked out just fine for me. Not sure about a mountain bike.

I have a 33 foot fifth wheel and had a class 3 hitch welded to the frame in the back of my 5th wheel Rv and then put this bike rack on that hitch and put 2 (a men's and women's) 12 speed bikes on this bike rack and went from Rochester, New York all the way down to Pigeon Forge, TN. (Spent one week on vacation down there) and came back to Rochester, NY. And the rack proved to work great with no, and I repeat no problems. Have a nice day.

I used this to carry two bikes for a week long trip over this past Christmas with no problems. I have found this rack to be well made, very secure and quiet. Of course I never leave the car and the bikes out of my sight for long.

Disc brake mountain bikes work fine. I use my Gary Fisher with disc brakes on this rack every week. If you have hydrolic disc brakes, make sure to never pump the brakes when the wheel is off.
