As title, looking to buy and wondered if anyone has one and what their opinion is?

I have the XT2, 2 bike version and usually take my e-bike on it. Excellent bit of kit and copes with 27 plus tyres too and 2 ebikes. The fold up is really excellent and what really sets it apart, means I can put it in the boot, or in a small cupboard at home. Not cheap but you'll be very happy

Oh and I bought it from Volvo, much cheaper than elsewhere. It has Volvo branding on the black plastic but is a Thule.

I have the XT2 as well, excellent piece of kit.

The tilt mechanism works very well too, so you can get into the boot of the car when the bikes are attached.

Thanks, I’m after one too!
Principally because my bike has plus tyres and 27.5 but also the 4th bike option ticks a box.

Looks like you can add an additional bike adaptor, have ordered the Volvo branded version. Thanks very much . I owe you a virtual pint!
