Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 GMC Acadia KU74FR

Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Transfer bike rack here on our 2019 GMC Acadia. Now, the Transfer is going to be a platform-style bike rack holding the bike by the wheel here. So, that means we're gonna have zero frame contact making it good for our carbon frame bikes, our alternative frame bikes, and it does have a 40 pound weight capacity in this version. This is the version that'll work with an inch-and-a-quarter hitch or two-inch hitch. If you are looking for a higher capacity of 60 pounds per per bike, you can check out the exclusively two-inch version that will boost your capacity just a bit and be better for those e-bikes. But either way, they're gonna both function the same way. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 GMC Sierra 2500

Hey everyone, Charles here at trailer. And today we're taking a look at the Hollywood Sport Rider SE bike rack on our 2016 GMC Sierra 2500. This bike rack is gonna be great for carrying those extra heavy electric bikes because you can carry up to 80 pounds per bike. I think it's one of the largest weight capacity bike racks that we have to offer. If you had a custom paint job or a carbon fiber bike that you wanted to bring along, this might not be the best option for you since it is a frame mount but for that extra peace of mind, if you really had to take it, there's a foam padding on the hooks themselves and then an extra even softer foam padding on the hooks. It's gonna be made out of steel. more

Saris MHS Modular 2 Bike Rack Review - 2019 GMC Acadia

Hey everyone, Charles here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Saris MHS modular bike rack on the 2019 GMC Acadia. Because of the double tire hold, this bike rack can accommodate a lot of different kinds of bikes, especially your carbon frames, and those with a custom paint job, pretty much the only kind would be those with a fender, but you can carry up to 60 pounds per bike, and it does have a tote away feature, which is awesome. The only problem is with our long handle bars here, our hatch is going to make contact at about right here, but we can just take the bike off to be able to access that. We are gonna have three attachment points, a strap for the front tire, and then two of the wheel mounts to take the bike off. We're gonna start with the strap, and just get that out of the way. And then from here, we can go ahead and push on this gray button, swing that out of the way, and then keeping one hand on the frame, so it doesn't fall on your vehicle, we can now push on this gray button, and get that out of the way, and now our bike is free. more

This bike rack is gonna be great for holding a lot of different kinds of bikes because it is being held on by both of the tires. So your carbon frame, your custom paint job bikes are gonna be great on this bike rack. Pretty much just those with a fender probably wouldn't work well for you. But we're gonna have 60 pounds of weight capacity per bike. And it does tilt away, but unfortunately, on our Acadia here, it does not make clearance past these longer handle bars right here. more

Hey everyone, Charles here at Etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Kuat Sherpa bike rack on a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500. This is a great bike rack. It accommodates a lot of different styles of bikes, but one quick disclaimer, on the Sierra here, we have a two and a half inch hitch with an adapter to reduce it down to two inches. And the self-tensioning system that Kuat has in the Sherpa, it's self-tensioning to the adapter, instead of the actual hitch. So we are gonna have some play in there, but if you wanna stick around and hear some of the features, we'll get right into that. We are gonna have 40 pounds of capacity per bike. more

One of the great features about this rack is that it does tilt away using this lever on the back. We can still keep our bikes on the rack without having to take them off, and be able to access our hatch to grab our helmets, waters, whatever we need for our bike ride. We're gonna hear it snap back into place and that's how we know it's secure. more

At the top here, you can see we have this nice vertical posts for our anti-sway cradle here, gonna do a very good job of covering a lot of our bike, really reducing that innate play that's gonna have, so it's not gonna be swinging as much, and if it does swing, it's gonna return right back to where it was relatively quickly and fast to where we're not making any contact with our bikes. We also have at the bottom here, this nice anti-sway bar control, now what this is gonna do, to allow you to utilize the included cam buckle straps, to run this through all of your tires and each into those posts, that way you can really make sure that this guy a isn't doing this whole motion, but be, isn't gonna be swaying back and forth on this guy, so that four, therefore, they're not gonna be bumping into each other, not gonna be doing any kinda damage to yourself, and that's really the name of the game with the road runner, it is that nice hanging style, and it's really reducing all of that sway.

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 GMC Yukon XL

John: Hey guys. John here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2020 GMC Yukon XL, we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks TRS two bike platform rack for e-bikes. This is designed to fit a two inch trailer hitch receiver and the one of the features I'd like to start off pointing out is it does have a tilt away feature.To do this you'll pull the safety pin here and there's a quick release pin you will also need to pull which allows us to tilt the bike rack away. I would like to point out that the bike rack sits close enough to the Yukon that with a standard bike size like this, it'll clear the pedal when you have the pedal down, but it will come in contact with the handle.You might be able to fit a smaller bike on here and be able to open up the rear hatch without making any contact, but it's really going to depend on the size of your bike.Go ahead and lift the bike back into the towing position. You'll notice here our bike is secured at three points of contact, two ratchet straps on the wheels and then one ratchet strap up here on the tire.To remove the bike, we'll start off by releasing the ratchet straps on the wheels and then we'll press this lever in to release the tension on the ratcheting arm. more

Hey there, Sierra owners. Today on our 2019 GMC Sierra, we'll be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Two Bike platform style rack.Having a bike rack on the rear of your Sierra can actually help you free up space in your bed for those adventures you're going on.

Platform racks secure your bikes at the tires, and there is a cradle up top that puts down pressure on the bike, keeping it in those cradles. The nice thing about this is it's not hanging by the top tube like with other style bike racks.Now like this, you'll notice getting into the tailgate of your Sierra is a little difficult, but that's not a problem with this rack. There's a pin down here we can pull out, and once we've loosened that pin, then we can pull out on the knob, and that's going to let the bike tilt away. more
