Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Chevrolet Trax- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Chevrolet Trax we're going to be test fitting the Thule Double Track Pro Two Bike Platform Rack for inch and a quarter and two inch hitches. Part Number TH9054. We have a bike already installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look here.Now, unlike most Thule bike racks, or at least platform style bike racks, this one does not tilt away to gain rear hatch access. We can gain rear hatch access, but we'll get to that a little bit later. It did make some improvements, though, on how the bike attaches to the vehicle. more

Saris Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Chevrolet Trax- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Chevrolet Trax we're going to be test fitting the Saris SuperClamp EX 2-bike platform rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, part number SA4025F. We have a bike installed on it already. Let's take a closer look.Unlike its predecessor, this is able to tilt away from the vehicle because they have the addition of this pull handle up at the front. You simply pull it out like so and let it come forward. We are able to gain full access to our rear hatch. You can see that there's plenty of space and clearance between the handlebars and the hatch as well.How to put this back up into place, you lift up on the bike rack, never the bike, till you hear that click. more

Hollywood Racks Trail-Rider Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Chevrolet Trax- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Chevrolet Trax, we're going to be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, part number HR200.We have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look at it here. Now, most platform racks will tilt away with both bikes still attached. This is a pretty bare bones bike rack, as it does not do that. It holds your bike at three points, will have two hook and loop straps on either wheel, and will also have this padded frame hook up at the top. It is padded to ensure the frame of your bike doesn't have any scratches on it once it's being installed. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Chevrolet Trax- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Chevrolet Trax, we're going to be test fitting the Kuat Transfer 2-bike platform rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, part number TS02G. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Its most prominent feature is the fact that it can tilt away with both bikes still attached. What makes it unique in that sense is that it has a foot pedal to do so as opposed to a pin that you have to come up to the front and try to get around two bikes to get to. What we'll do is we'll come to the peddle here, push down with our foot holding onto the bike rack, and letting it tilt forward. With that done, we're able to gain full rear hatch access with no problem and plenty of space on either side to get what we need, but also plenty of space in between our handlebars and the hatch as well, so there's not going to be any possibility of contact in that area.To put it back up, you just simply lift up on the bike rack, never the bike, until you hear that click. more
