Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Kuat Sherpa 2.0, and we're taking a look at how it fits here on our 2024 Hyundai Tucson.

How's it going neighbors, this is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination E-bike carrier on our 2023 Lexus UX 250 H. The Destination E is a good rack, in my opinion, just based on the fact that it has a solid weight rating right at 70 pounds and you have a frame mounted system, so you're gonna have two points of contact on your front wheel right here and here for your strap and one single bar that's holding you in the center. And that is adjustable for varying styles of frame, so that makes it a lot more flexible, and then you just have the single strap on the rear. Frame mounted bikes generally are gonna work better if you don't mind contact to the frame of your bike. If you have a carbon fiber frame or unconventional like a step through, you may want to look at some other options. To tilt the Destination E, we're gonna take the gray knob, and twist it and pull it down. more

Now some things on the Durango, especially with this hitch receiver, is that this is gonna have a lot of height compared to other bike racks.

So the HD is gonna be really good for those heavy bikes with a weight capacity of 80 pounds per bike. Awesome, very impressive. Now for a Durango though, there are some things you're gonna have to consider with this vehicle. The first one is that it's gonna be really high up off the ground, so I highly recommend grabbing the Inno Tire Hold ramp that's sold separately, add-on accessory that instead of having to lift the bikes up and onto the rack, you can then just ramp them down. The second thing is that your tilt away functions you do lose out on with this car. more

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Swagman Espec on our 2023, Ford F-150. Going with a hitch mounted bike carrier is a great way to bring your bikes along with you when you're not towing with your hitch and you still need the space in your bed. It's a good way also to keep your bike stable and secure when you're on the road versus just loading it in the back of your truck, also. The Espec is a platform style bike carrier that is frame mounted. So essentially what that is, you're gonna have a hook that makes contact with your frame and your front and rear wheel are gonna strap into cradles. If you have a carbon fiber frame bike or a nice paint job or maybe even an unconventional frame, this wouldn't be the best option for you. more

Right off the bat, I'd have to say that this isn't the best fit for the Seltos with the Seltos being a smaller SUV and this bike rack being a super heavy-duty bike rack. Now, this does have the capacity to carry around two 80 pound bikes as well as a 35 pound bike at the very end. But your Seltos may or may not be able to carry that much weight, so please double check your tongue weight capacity of your hitch before loading up your bikes. It's still worth taking a look at, because I like this bike rack kit with how sturdy it is compared to other dual wheel mount bike racks. more

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Saris MHS two bike rack, which is gonna be the two plus one base and the two duo trays and we'll see how it all fits here on our 2019 Newmar Bay Star motor home. The MHS is probably one of my favorite motor home bike racks because you still have that 80 pound weight capacity and you have that dual wheel mount design and it's motor home compatible, meaning it does, it is designed to have that extra strength and durability to handle the extra stress of being so far away from the rear axle. Now with a Bay Star motor home though, there are some unique things that you are gonna have to consider when carrying those extra heavy electric bikes. The main thing is it sits up very high up off the ground, so if you wanna take advantage of the 80 pound weight capacity that's also 80 pounds that you're lifting this high up. Another thing is that you do have a ladder behind your motor home and that may cause a little bit of fitment issues. For example, we we inchesre not able to tilt up this rack into the compact position, but behind a motor home it usually doesn't matter. more

So the Transfer is a solid bike carrier for your road bikes. Mountain bikes, it may come up a little bit short as far as that wheel base, but in general use is a good way to move three bikes, especially if you have something that's gonna have the carbon fiber or something with a nice frame or alternative style like a step through. In those cases, this guy's gonna work well, because it doesn't make any contact with the actual frame of the bike, you just have the front wheel hook that holds down the front of the bike and you have the rear cradle strap that holds your rear wheel in place. Another unique thing about the Transfer is the fact that the arms actually fold up out of your way and you have this U-shape on the base to make it easier for loading and unloading your bikes, which is unique to platform racks. Generally, you're gonna have to maneuver your bike over a mast or, you know, struggle it onto the carrier itself. more

Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack Review - 2022 Toyota Tacoma

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination e-bike carrier on our 2022 Toyota Tacoma. The Destination has a 70 pound weight rating, so it's gonna work for your heavier e-bikes, and it also is a frame mounted carrier. So, the positive on that is the fact that it's gonna give you sturdy contact to the frame, and its unique mast allows you to adjust for the positioning of the clamps on the frame itself. Like, our frame is a little bit alternative versus a standard men's bike, but we're able to position it in a way where we can securely clamp it down. And there's also a second mast that reaches over. It will create 11 inches of separation between the bikes. more

RockyMounts GuideRail 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Toyota 4Runner

Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the RockyMounts GuideRail Hitch Mount Bike Rack, and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Toyota 4Runner. As far as bike racks go, the GuideRail is a personal favorite of mine because it's really well-built and I think it's a great fit on the 4Runner. It offers one of the best ground clearances out there. So if you're taking your 4Runner off the beaten path and you're worried about clearance, I don't think you have to worry about it as much with the GuideRail, and we'll check out that specific measurement later. But just as a rack itself, it's going to have an impressive capability, being able to hold up to 60 pounds per bike. more

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Piston Pro three bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Toyota 4Runner. The Piston Pro is a really nice bike rack. It's gonna be a dual wheel mount design, which just means it holds the bike by both tires. What that translates to is zero frame contact, making it a really good fit for carbon frame and alternative frame bikes. The one downside to the three bike version that we have today is the weight capacity. more

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Saris MHS on our 2023 Kia Sorento. The MHS is the Modular Hitch System. In this configuration, we have it set up to carry two bikes. It is a wheel-mounted system, where you have a front and rear wheel arm, that's gonna make contact with the wheels. If you have a unconventional frame bike, a nicer paint job, a carbon-fiber bike, step-through, any of those things where you don't want contact or contact's not possible, wheel-mount is gonna be your option. The MHS also has a single strap on your rear wheel to help stabilize, and a front wheel fixed chock for your, and what that's gonna do is basically get a tighter grip on your bike, making it one of the more sturdy wheel-mounted carriers that we have. more

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE on our 2023 Kia Sorento. The Sport Rider SE is a frame mount bike carrier that can support two bikes up to 80 pounds each. And that is a pretty massive weight for a bike carrier this size. So that's impressive in itself. The type of person that would go for something like this is a person that does not mind contact to the frame. So if you have a carbon fiber bike or you have a bike that's an unconventional frame, like a step through, you may need an adapter for the step through. more
