@Alaskan I only have a need to carry 1 bike (my own) and I paid $350 for my 1up rack. I'm actually waiting for the new Quik Rack Mach 2s to be produced (made by the original designer of the quik rack), which will hold a 70 lb ebike and his price for black anodized is $269 or thereabouts. He made a bunch of changes to the original design and he's been able to apply for new patents. I'm not spending $600 on a bike rack...not when I don't need to carry 2 bikes and can have a good solution for half that or less.
My 2 cents-Yeah, I could not understand why the Thule was so expensive, when you could find other racks in the similar category for a lot less. I also spotted some questionable reviews about Thule C/S not responding to customer complaints with a few of their racks that had poor build quality. Hope they have resolved these issues with them.
I personally have the older version of the 2 bike Sport Rack SR2901LR with hoops that hold the tires in place. Very solid and a very reasonable price point.
