Saris MHS 2 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe

Hi everyone, Charles here at etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at the Saris MHS modular bike rack for two bikes for two inch hitches on the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. So this is a modular platform style bike rack. It's gonna be perfect for your heavy bikes and your electric bikes. This is made out of a steel and aluminum construction that's gonna keep it very durable and finished with a black powder coat keeping it rust resistant. One of the great features about this rack is that it does have a tilt away function making it easier for you to open your hatch without having to remove the bikes. Today our handlebars are a little bit too long but I'm gonna show you how to tilt it away. more

Saris MHS 2 Bike Rack Review - 2017 Toyota RAV4

Hey everyone, I'm Charles with etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at the Saris MHS modular bike rack for two bikes for two inch hitches on the 2017 Toyota RAV4. So, this is a platform style rack made out of a steel and aluminum construction with a black powder coat finish, making it rust resistant and very durable. So, one of the cool things about this rack system is that it does have a tilt away function. It's right here on the handle. Something to keep in mind as this does carry heavy bikes, that you are gonna have the weight of those two bikes when you are tilting away and lifting back up. So, something I like to do is just keep one hand here or on the closest bike, take a step back, so that I don't get knocked out before my ride. more

This is gonna be a great way to have a tire hold platform style bike rack that can get your heavier bikes out to the trails and on the road that's gonna encapsulate a lot of your heavier mountain bikes and your e-bikes so you won't have to worry about as much. Now let's say you don't have as heavy of bikes and you have carbon frame or odd framed bikes. You luckily have a way of holding it by the tires, not only by the arms, but also we have these straps down here just for some extra stability. But overall, that's a really good setup.

Saris MHS 2 Bike Rack Review - 2021 Jeep Gladiator

Hey everyone, Charles here at Etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Saris MHS modular bike rack for two bikes on the 2021 Jeep Gladiator. The front and rear wheel mounts make it great for carrying your carbon frame style bike since it's not gonna have any frame contact. But one of my favorite features is that it does tilt away, like so, giving you access to your bed of your truck. You can see we have plenty of clearance to grab our backpacks and our waters whatever you need for the trail. And I just really like that because carrying heavy bikes on the back of your vehicle, you may not always wanna unload it and load it whenever you have to get back into your bed. All right, so we have three attachment points for this rack. more

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Saris MHS on our 2022 Honda CR-V. The MHS is a platform style bike rack. It's gonna hold the bike in these trays and by the tires. This is going to get a pretty strong hold on the bike, too, because of few secondary points of contact like that wheel block at the front and our wheel strap at the back. Now because it makes no frame contact, excuse me, that's gonna mean it's good for carbon frame bikes and alternative frame bikes. more

Hi, everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro Hanging-Style Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Nissan Rogue. Now, with this being a hanging-style bike rack, that does mean the bike is going to hang by the frame. You've got these dual arms with four sets of cradles, so capable of carrying up to four bikes, and having three points of contact on that frame. Two straps over the top that hold it down into these deep cradles, and the third one on the seat post here, acting as an anti-sway cradle, which does (indistinct) our side to side movement, helping with bike to bike contact and preventing the bike from running into our vehicle. A lot of different bike racks that we've tested today had clearance issues with the Nissan Rogue. more

Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Swagman Skaha 2 bike rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2022 Honda Odyssey. So the Swagman Skaha is a good rack if you have those heavy electric bikes, and with the Odyssey, I recommend getting the separate ramp and bridge attachment. There is a good amount of ground clearance with this vehicle, so it's hard to lift those bikes high up and into the hitch receiver or hitch-mounted bike rack, but the ramp and bridge actually works really well with this rack, and I would recommend checking that out if you have a heavy electric bike, but this also has some other features, like it tilts away and you have a front wheel mount, which makes it easier to load those bikes up. So the first feature we'll take a look at is that tilt away feature. There is this bright green lever here in the back. more

Two attachment points up top with straps holding it down on the cradles and a third one on the seat post, keeping our sway down to a minimum. It doesn't entirely eliminate it, especially these rubber straps, they've got a bit of stretch to them, so it doesn't completely fix the problem, but it will help with bike to bike contact as you're going down the road. Hanging-style bike racks inherently are gonna have a few more limitations to them, and this one is no different. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat NV Base 2.0 and seeing how it fits in the back of our 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe. This is gonna be a platform style bike rack and one of the nicer ones at that. This is going to be able to hold up to two bikes up to 60 pounds each, so good for some of your e-bikes and it holds bikes by our front tire, primarily using this wheel hook. The wheel hook is a big deal because it doesn't make any frame contact on the bike so it's going to be a great option for carbon frame bikes as well as alternative frame bikes. more

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Fleetwood Bounder Motorhome- Video

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Fleetwood Bounder Motorhome

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro hanging style bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2019 Fleetwood Bounder motorhome. Now this is a bike rack capable of carrying up to four bikes, and it's going to be able to carry 35 pounds per bike. So pretty solid and pretty comparable to most other hanging style racks out there, especially the ones that are motorhome-approved. And that is an important distinction because not all bike racks are built to the spec required to withstand the extra shock and vibration you experience at the back of a motorhome compared to a passenger vehicle. So, do be sure to select a bike rack that's approved for use on a motorhome when you're putting it here. more

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Swagman Skaha Two-Bike Platform Rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. The Skaha is definitely a biker rack designed for bikes of different shapes and sizes, especially your heavy electric bikes. You have that 60-pound weight capacity. You have your large wheel cradles for your extra wide tires, and if you get the additional, sold separately ramp and bridge, it makes it really easy to load and unload those bikes. We'll talk about that, but we're in the focus on our Equinox here because this compares to the Skaha Plus, the Skaha has a tilt-away feature. more

Saris MHS Modular 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hey everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Saris MHS on our 2023 Subaru Outback. And while at first it may look like you can mount your bike in on either side, there is actually a ratcheting system for your back strapped wheel as well as a wheel chock for your front wheel just to help it sit in there better. Now, one of the big advantages of this rack is that does come with a tilt away feature. So we just go ahead and pull the lever here at the bottom allows us to tilt our bike rack away from our vehicle, allowing us access into the truck. And there's enough clearance between the pedal and our trunk that I'm not really worried about it but this would allow me to grab my helmet, my shoes or either put them up when I'm done for the day. more

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman E-Spec hitch-mounted bike rack and seeing how it fits on our 2022 Forest River Salem FSX travel trailer. Now it's important to note that with this bike rack it is a hitch-mounted bike rack and our camper didn't come with the hitch right from the factory so you will need to find an option to mount that up. We're using the etrailer bumper mounted hitch that's going to be able to support the weight of this carrier and the rack is rated for travel trailer use. So it's just some things to keep in mind when you're finding the right bike rack for you and your travel trailer. The other thing to take note of here is your spare tire. more
