Starting with the arms, the cradles are moveable, back and forth and side to side as needed, to help out with the installation. It does have an anti-sway cradle that folds out, like so, but also folds inward. It's going to make loading the bikes much easier.How it holds the bikes in place, it's going to have the two rubber straps up at the top here, as well as one off to the side, and that's going to serve as an anti-sway cradle to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth and causing bike to bike contact, or bike to vehicle contact.It does come with the wheel strap, as you see up front here, to ensure that the front tire here, or wheel, doesn't make contact with the actual vehicle itself. And once both bikes are installed, there's a much longer strap that goes around both bikes frames, as well as the bike rack itself, and that's going to help keep everything nice and compressed while you're traveling, to keep it from shifting back and forth as well.Let's go ahead and take the bike off. Start by removing the straps here, and you can see how that unloading is much easier.With it in this position, I'd like to give you a couple quick measurements here. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Mazda CX5, we're gonna be doing a test fit on the Yakima halfback two trunk mounted two bike rack. That's part number Y02636. So I've already got everything all loaded up just to give you a good idea of what it looks like and how it's gonna hold our bikes. Now in my personal opinion, I would say this is a quality bike rack. Compared to the Yakima full back, it has a few differences. It doesn't have locks and it doesn't have rubber coated cam buckles, but it's still a great bike rack. more

Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2018 Toyota Corolla- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota Corolla, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Fullback Two Bike Rack for trunk mounts, part number Y02634. We already have our bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look here and show off some of the features.Starting off at our ends here, on the one we have the Yakima bottle opener, which is pretty common among most of their bike racks. On the other end, however, we do have this integrated cable lock. How it works is, if you we're to have a bike on the outer cradles here, this would come out, wrap around the frame of that, and attach to this point here and lock into place to secure your bikes onto the bike rack.The cradles themselves are stationary, meaning they don't move back and forth or side-to-side, but they do have this TPE padding on the top, which is actually going to act as kind of a shock absorber for when you hit those bumps to help protect the frames of your bikes. The bottom part of the ZipStrip here is also padded to help that protect the frame of your bikes as well.How this actually attaches to the bike rack, we'll have two ZipStrips up at the top, as well as one off to the side here. more

Malone Pilot 2 Bike Platform Rack Review- Video
Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Trunk Mount, Malone Pilot 2-Bike Platform Rack, part number MPG2133. The Malone Pilot Platform Trunk Mount Rack is great for pairing up to two bikes of varying types and sizes. It can carry mountain bikes to road bikes, to alternate frame bikes, as well as kids bikes, although some may require the use of a bike adapter bar, which is sold separately and can be found on etrailer.com.Since this is a platform style bike rack, you're gonna have less bike to bike contact to worry about. Another assurance to make sure that doesn't happen is, we do have cradles that are adjustable, so you can shift the bikes to the right or to the left to make sure there's no contact as well. As opposed to most trunk mount bike racks, which are hanging style, these grip your bike by the frame up at the top. And then we have two wheel straps at the base to hold your tires in place.Once you have your bikes installed, there is a locking in cap here that, once turned, it'll just free spin and not loosen up or tighten. more

Malone does carry these, and you can find them on etrailer.com's website.It holds your bike in three locations. We're gonna have two straps up at the top tube. Our third point's gonna be the strap around the side here, and that's gonna be referred to as our anti-sway cage, which is gonna keep your bike from moving too far back and forth and causing bike to bike contact.The cradles are padded and have these grooves in them so that the cables on your bike will fit inside those instead of getting crushed up against your frame once it's been initially installed. The cradles are stationary, meaning they can't move back and forth or anything like that, but they are movable to accommodate different mounting styles. more
