Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at Etrailer.com.Today on our 2016, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, we're going to be taking a look at the Tule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack. Now, this rack holds up to two bikes, however, if you need to carry an additional one, there is a three bike version available.One thing I did notice we can actually fold the center mass down. with the lever up and swing it away from the car. That way we're going to have plenty of room to get all of our stuff in and out of our hatch. Now, my favorite thing about this rack is that it's made from aluminum. So it's going to be incredibly lightweight and easy to handle, and we're not going to have to worry about any rust or corrosion issues either. more

Rola Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

How's it going, Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport we're going to be taking a look at the Rola TX-102 tilting bike rack. The center mass does fold down to allow us to get access to our hatch, and to do that we'll come down here towards the bottom. It's going to be a pin here that we need to remove, but something I want to point out whenever we remove this pin, there's not going to be anything stopping our rack to come towards the vehicle. So whenever we do this, we want to make sure you got a hand on the rack to support it. Go ahead and remove the clip from the other side of the pin, pull it out, and we can swing it down. more

Robby: Robby here at etrailer.com. And today we're going to be taking a look at the RockyMounts Westslope platform style two bike rack on our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. Our RockyMounts Westslope is going to allow us to carry two bikes to and from the trail and alleviate the problem of trying to get all the bikes inside of our Santa Fe. And since it's a platform style rack, what that means is it's going to hold our bike, but it's not going to have any frame contact at all. So we don't have to worry about scratching the finish, and it's going to be great for those road bikes that have those carbon frames.It'll secure the back tire using wheel strap to hold it in place. And on the front it's going to use this wheel spoke, so it's only going to be contacting the tire.One of the really nice things about the platform style rack too, is if we need to get in the back hatch, we can actually tilt the bike rack away without removing the bikes. more

Most that do actually do that, swing away as opposed to glide out.To glide it out, we have this convenient handle in the back. You pull that in and let it come out, like so. Now we have total-hatch access to get what we need, and more than enough space to do so.

Pro Series  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

Today on our 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, we're doing a test fit of the Pro Series Q Slot Platform Style Two Bike and Four Bike Rack. That part number is PS63138. Now we already have our bike on the rack. We're first going to show you how we strap that down, and then we'll go over some of the features of the rack itself. At our front tire and our back tire we have the hook and loop strap, which are going to just secure our wheels down, make sure that they don't spin or anything while we're driving down the road. We just pull up and release those. Then, up top here we have a frame hook. This is what's going to kind of push the bike into those wheel cradles and secure it even further. more
