Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman XC2 two bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of this 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. Now the XC2 is gonna be a platform style bike rack holding the bike in these wheel hoops at the bottom and primarily keeping it still with our frame hook up top. That's going to press the bike down into those wheel hoops and keep it secure. Now this is going to be able to handle 35 pounds per bike and because it makes the contact of the frame it isn't the best fit for carbon frame bikes and for alternative frame bikes you're gonna need a bike adapter bar because this hook needs somewhere relatively flat to grab onto to get a good hold on the bike. more

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2021 Chevy Equinox, we're gonna be checking out the Thule Hitching Post Pro hanging-style bike rack. One of the big questions that we do get asked all the time in regards to hitch-mounted bike racks is if you're still gonna be able to have access to the back of your SUV. And the answer is yes, with this one. It folds down out of the way. And whenever you need to do that, you'll pull out this pin and clip, the center here will swing down and this goes down really far, actually, a lot more than others, so it gives you a ton of room to work with. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Adam: What's going on everybody, Adam here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman Current on our 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. If you have electric bikes or fat tire bikes, this, in my opinion, is one of the best options we carry here at etrailer just because it comes with all the goodies and has a lot of adjustments to be able to fit all those different types of bikes. We are going to have 60 pounds per bike, so for your electric bikes, if you're unsure if it's going to be over that weight or not, take the battery off and see how much it weighs then, and that is what you're going to be hauling it like, because we do not like to haul with the batteries installed.I really like our wheel cradles. They are made of metal, which is awesome, and they are going to be adjustable. So we have a maximum wheel base of 50 inches, so just measure from the center bottom of one wheel to the other, and that's going to be your wheel base. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox HR4000- Video
Adam: What's going on everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination Four on our 2021 Chevrolet Equinox.This is a great way to get four bikes to and from your destination but we are going to have a little bit of limitations. It's only going to allow us to put 35 pounds, per bike, on the rack. So, it's not going to be good for your electric bikes and really isn't going to be good for your carbon fiber bikes, just because we don't have a wheel hook. We have a little frame connection here, so it might put a little bit of stress on that carbon frame.Our wheel cradles are only going to accept tires up to three inches in width, so it's not going to be great for your fat tire bikes either. But the nice thing about it is, we are going to have some adjustments for some of the kids' bikes. more

Curt Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam, here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Curt Premium 4 on our 2021 Chevrolet Equinox.If you have multiple different style bikes, maybe two kids' bikes and two adult bikes, it's going to be great just because we have two different size cradles. It's going to be about eight inches here and about 14 inches here. So, for those odd frames bikes, it's going to be really easy to get them up and on here so your whole family can go riding.This isn't going to be your bike rack if you have electric bikes or any heavier type bikes. Also, for your carbon fiber frame bikes, hanging style isn't really the rack you want to go with.We're going to have a capacity of 180 pounds. You can actually go ahead and put this on your motor home because it is motor home approved.It does think about your bikes. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Kat NV 2.04 Platform-style Bike Rack on our 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. This is going to be a great way to get four bikes to and from the destination, and this is probably one of the more premium options. We are going to be able to have 60 pounds per bike if we only use two. But also, if you do plan on putting four, we're only going to have about 40 pounds per bike.We always want to think about what kind of bikes we want to use with this in the four bike configuration. The electric bikes probably aren't going to be the best option just because we'll probably go over that 40 pounds per bike, but for your fat tire bikes, we do have a 4.8 inch wheel cradle, and it's going to accept wheels all the way up to that. more

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima HoldUp 2 on our 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. If you're looking to get two bikes to and from your destination, this is going to be a great rack to pick for your carbon fiber bikes because we do have a wheel hook. We're not going to be putting any stress on our frame and it does have 60 pounds per bike. If your lighter e-bikes fit into this category and don't have fenders, it's definitely going to be another good option for that. If you want to carry four different bikes, possibly, maybe the family's growing, who knows, we actually do have an add on that makes it into a four bike rack. more

Inno Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Evangeline: Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer.com and today we are looking at our Inno tire hold bike rack here on our 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. So, this is an awesome bike rack in that it's super easy to mount and dismount your bike. Also, if you have maybe your heavy electric bikes, this will work with that. So, one of its features is that it can tilt away and to do so you pull this lever and you bring it down. Now you'll want to do this, if you want to access your hatch.So, as you can see here, it comes close. But, in this situation, we have plenty of space to get in there, to grab our groceries or our bike bags or our bike helmets, without having to take our bike off. more
