Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Honda CR-V for Long Trips
Question:
Looking for a trunk rack to hold bikes on a Honda CRV on a 250 mile trip.
asked by: Greg M
Expert Reply:
I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02634, for your CR-V. The SuperCush anti-sway cradles work to hold your bikes firmly in place and prevent rocking. I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you.
Since you will be carrying the bikes on long trips, I also recommend picking up some tie-down straps for your bike wheels, part # SR54FR. These straps will keep your front wheels from moving and hitting your vehicle while driving the highway.
If any of the bikes you are carrying have angled crossbars or alternative bike frames, then the final item I recommend is the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, # Y02531.
