Bottom line

Fabbri’s Gringo Bici is one of only a few SUV ‘spare wheel racks’ with wheel trays. As an alternative to a roof or hitch rack, they’re hard to come by. The Gringo Bici comes highly recommended by some owners. They found it easy to attach this rack semi-permanently, only removing the wheel trays when not carrying bikes. Other buyers were frustrated by having to improvise to make it fit their vehicle, either by using longer straps and screws or by ordering aftermarket adapters from Fabbri. Most users agree this is an affordable option.
