The ad suggests it takes 3 bikes and not 4. My own experience is that getting 3 on is often difficult enough & smaller bikes can be harder to put on because the smaller frames leave little room

We use the hollywood F4 which takes 4 bike ok, but you really need to take all the pedals off if you don't want dents in your boot. A bit of pipe lagging around the tubes of any good bikes doesn't hurt either.
