What Towbar Bike Rack are people using in the UK?

I have a Thule bike rack rack using to 2 clamps to hold the Trek Rail which is not really up to the job & need a new one.

So what are people using in the Uk for there Trek Rail?

Thule XT2 Easyfold with the addition of a Fiamma Bike Block Pro (the adjustable one pictured) as I don't entirely trust the Thule clamp style on it's own (though never had an issue with it) I just like the fact the Fiamma completely loops around the frame. Connection fits the Thule rack perfectly. 11hr run to the Alps at French motorway speeds with zero issues.

Looks a good shout, but will you be carrying two e bikes?
Even though the rack can take the weight, will the weight exceed your towbar nose weight.
Two e bikes at 25 kg each plus the 16 kg rack is 66 kg. The nose weight for my towbar is 56 kg, so I bought the single bike carrying scorpion 1.

Not cheap those bike racks! hmm would that clamp help with clamping most bikes ? The thule clamps seem to a bit low down on the Easyfold.

I maybe in the future but if a mate wants to joins me with a normal bike, ill need a 2 bike rack. I will be taking into account of the nose weight.

Yep I have this, brilliant rack and so very easy to fit and remove. Keeps the eeb nice and secure.

Just noticed you ask regarding a trek !! I don't have a trek but my Haibike is a heavy beast and it holds it perfectly.
