Swagman Skaha 2 Bike Rack Review - 2021 Toyota RAV4- Video

Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman Skaha 2 for our 2021 Toyota RAV 4. Now, the Skaha 2 is going to be a platform-style bike rack, able to accommodate up to two bikes with an individual weight capacity of 60 pounds each. That does mean that our heavier e-bikes are going to be an option for this one. Our two main points of contact are going to be a hook on our front wheel and just a strap on our back wheel. But since we are making no frame contact, that does mean that our alternative frame bikes and our carbon fiber frame bikes are going to be an option for these as well. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we have the Kuat Piston Pro three-bike platform rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2022 Dodge Durango. Now with a Kuat Piston Pro, it's gonna be an impressive bike rack. It has its one tap piston that secure your bikes by its front and rear wheels, making it easier to load and unload those bikes and it looks pretty cool. But it's also pretty heavy.

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have a Kuat Transfer v2 Three-Bike Platform Rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2022 Dodge Durango. So with this bike rack, this is gonna be a popular entry-level Kuat rack, which allows you to carry up to three bikes. Plus, it has that unique goalpost design that makes it easier to load and unload your bikes. Plus, it takes up less space when in the compact position. The downside, though, for our Durango is because you have a larger hatch and the transfer doesn't really tilt that far down, you won't be able to fully open it up. In fact, let's take a look at that process. more

Because it is a more entry-level bike rack, it does lack some of the advanced features, like a tilt-away, and other things that we'll get into a little bit later.

Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack Review - 2021 Nissan Rogue- Video

Hi everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Curt Premium four-bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Nissan Rogue. This is gonna be a hanging style bike rack that holds the bike by the frame hanging down below the arms. There's three main points of contact to make this work all in the form of these stretchy rubber straps that hold the bike frame down into the cradles, with that third one being around the side here, limiting our side to side movement and helping with bike to bike contact. One thing I'll point out right away with the Nissan Rogue is that the whole rack sits very close to the vehicle. And that also means that this inner bike sits close to the vehicle. more

Hollywood Racks Destination 2 Bike Platform Rack Review - 2021 Nissan Rogue- Video

Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination 2 on our 2021 Nissan Rogue. What we're gonna have here is a platform style bike rack able to accommodate up to two bikes individually weight rated at 35 pounds each which means unfortunately our heavier e-bikes are not going to be available for this rack. We're going to have three main points of contact, a rubber strap on our front and back tire as well as a center mast making frame contact here as our main point. So unfortunately, our carbon frame bikes are not going to be an option either. One really nice thing is though that our main point of contact on our center mast here does move up and down while also having the ability to rotate, meaning that we can accommodate most alternative frame bikes. more

Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have the Thule Easyfold bike rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2020 Infiniti QX50. This is a premium rack with a bunch of premium features. You can tilt it away, you have a ramp included and it folds up to be more compact when storing in your garage or when you're on the road. So we'll talk about those features but it also has some downsides like it doesn't fold up, up against your vehicle. You still have a lot of length added to the back of you and also it does take a little bit of time to take the bikes off and put them back on. more

Malone RunWay 2-Bike Platform Rack Review - 2021 Nissan Rogue- Video

Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we have the Malone Runway 2-Bike Platform Rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Nissan Rogue. So the owner of this vehicle actually got this bike rack, because they're looking for something that is lightweight where they can easily lift it up and into their hitch receiver, but also, is affordable, so that's definitely where this sits. Now, you do have some pros and cons with this type of bike rack, like it does take a little bit more work to its features like tilt it away and fold it up, and we're gonna focus on that, focusing on the Nissan Rogue. There are two length settings for this bike rack, we have it at the furthest out setting, and even then, we still have a little bit of a close call when it comes to mountain bikes. So if you have long handlebars, this is something you have to be mindful of as the bike rack shifts around. If you need to tilt the bike rack away with the bike on, this does tilt away. more
