I have the condor and like it. I use it on my trail. Nice thing is it is adjustable for tire/wheelsize Some others are outstanding wheel chocks but are limited to tire and wheel size .
I have my traile set up to haul any bike ,Trike or sidecar rig so being flexible is important to me. Know what your are buying and why .
i've had my condor for going on 20 years. it's a great piece of kit, and have very little to complain about. the one complaint i do have is it is hard for me to muscle the bike out of it with my short legs. if i had to do it over again, i would opt for the wheeldock chock. i didn't know about it when i bought my condor. either one, you won't go wrong.
The Condor is one of the best wheel chocks with the rocking cradle design... I could have lived with one of those chocks..
However, FWIW..... I opted for the Wheeldock chock to use in my shop, on my trailer, and in my toy hauler motorhome. I went with the Wheeldock solely for the reason that it isn't a rocking cradle design. You drive in/out of the chock, and the chock then secures/releases the front wheel via a lever control.
I find the Wheeldock design much easier to remove the bike from the chock when necessary, than the K&L rocking cradle design chock on my bike lift...
I recently purchased a Load All ramp for hauling a bike in my pickup. I might give my thoughts on that when I get it installed, but I thought I’d chime in about the Condor wheel chock that came with the ramp as I purchased a system.
Saturday I set up the Condor and we put my wife’s Ultra into it to give it a try. I have some initial thoughts on it. First, that dang thing holds the bike very securely. I think using it to secure a bike in my pickup will work very well. I’m impressed with it so far.
Secondly, the rocking cradle gets a death grip on that front tire when it’s set up right and locked in. I can see where it might be difficult for shorter legged people or people with a physical leg problem to back out of the chock.
Thirdly, I see what others are talking about when they say it slides on the floor. It takes some force to get the bike up and over the hump, so to speak, when loading it. Unless the Condor is blocked so it can’t slide forward or secured to the floor, it’s going to slide on you. The way I’m planning on using it, this won’t be a problem.
I can chime in further after I have my system all set up and can load and unload a bike. It might be a few weeks yet. I’m busy with other priorities first.

Check the holes it is set in. Minor change can make a difference in how it comes out. Check it against your tire and wheel size on their chart
I too have the condor, but mine is the trailer mount only version. Made of steel, not aluminum, and solid as a rock. Easy to remove so you can user your trailer for other stuff. Would buy again for sure.
Twin Condors in my 14x7 trailer. They are stout and when adjusted correctly, nothing's moving. A little tough to dismount the bike from them, but once you unlock the "formula", simple to do.
Tip: the HD chock is made by Condor. The exact same chock is far less money when purchased directly from Condor.
