THULE Clipon rear bike rack, is it compatible?
Has anyone successfully used the Thule Clipon series rear bike racks before on their Evoque? I don't have a tow bar so I have been looking at the rear strap on racks. The Thule Clipon range caught my attention as it says that once setup it can be removed in seconds and there are no fiddly straps to deal with. I nearly bought one at the weekend but then bottled out when I started to think about the spoiler and that it could be in the way. I don't fully understand how it "clips on" either. I'll keep doing my research, meanwhile if anyone could share their experiences I'd appreciate that.

I'd very much like to do the same - had one on my BMW and it was great but they don't seem to have one advertised as compatible with the Evoque.

If it's an 9102 I can save you the hassle of trying - it won't fit - I already tried

Can anyone recommend a rear bike rack that isn't for the tow bar? I'm open to any brand or price as we would like to get some use out of the bikes before the weather changes.

I know someone posted that they had seen an Evoque with a Saris Bones rack.
