Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Honda Fit- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're looking at the Swagman XC2 Platform-style Bike Rack, on a 2018 Honda Fit. Platform-style bike rack is great for a smaller car like this. Sometimes on your hanging rack, you're gonna see the tires stick out wider than the vehicle, so that air is gonna kind of act as a sail on it. So having the platform-style really gives you that sense of security, keeps you from having to look in your rear view mirror to make sure that your bike's still attached safely. This is a frame mount style bike rack, and as you can see, it's got a nice rubberized coating on the frame. So it's not exactly one you wanna use on a carbon fiber frame, because it might cause distortion, but pretty much for any other style of frame, this is gonna work well, and you're gonna be able to adjust that as necessary. more

This platform-style bike rack is frame mounted, so you can see here, it attaches to the frame. And that's been done by this little pad here, which has a nice rubber pad, which is gonna prevent your frame from being scratched. And that's something when you have your bike attached, you always wonder as it's moving around that hopefully it's not scuffing that paint stickers or whatever it may be, and this is gonna help prevent that. Something else that's really nice is your ability to rotate this 360 degrees. more

Now our rack can carry up to four bikes, but since we only have a class-one hitch we're going to be very limited to two bikes. So you do want to keep that in mind, but since this does work with two inch hitches as well, if you do have another vehicle with a hitch, you can throw the adapter on and it'll work just fine with your other vehicle. And you can probably get four bikes on it. Like I said, it is going to work with inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter receiver tube openings. more

One of the big questions that we get asked all the time in regards to hitch mounted bike racks is if you're still going to be able to have full access to the back of your SUV. And this one does fold down out of the way and allows us to do that.We move right here, that lever, pull up on it, swing this down.

One of the big questions we get asked all the time in regards to these platform-style bike racks is if you're still going to have full hatch access to the back of your Odyssey, even with the rack in place.

So what I mean by that is many times when you have two or more bikes on the platform and you try to load that second one up, the handlebars and other components can kind of get in the way. Majority of the time. more

Rob: Hey everybody, Rob here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the RockyMounts MonoRail two-bike platform-style rack on our 2019 Honda CR-V. Now I really like hitch-mounted racks because it does make it a lot easier to transport your bikes to and from the trail. Because, let's face it that we do have a decent amount of room in the back of our CR-V, but nobody wants to cram their bike in the back, potentially scratching up the inside of their car or damaging their bikes. And, if you're on the shorter side like me, getting a roof rack may not be the best option either because this is where the bottom of the rack would be and I would have to lift my bike all the way up to the roof. So I just think that a hitch-mounted rack is a lot more convenient.Now one of my favorite features about our bike rack comes in really handy. more

Each of the cradles features a rubberized pad on them to give it a soft surface to ride on, as well as to keep it from slipping around, and there's grooves located in each of the pads, so that way there's a channel for your brake cables to sit in, so that way they won't rub up against your frame causing any abrasions or scratches to it.When you're ready to use your bike, it's easy to take it off. Simply press in on the lever, and then you can slide the Cam Buckle strap out. more

Our bike is going to be held down at three points. We're going to have 2 straps here on the top too, as well as a strap down here. more

This rack is designed for not only your road bikes but as well as your mountain bikes, your fat bikes, and E-bikes. Unlike hanging bike racks that hold it by the frame, this one has two cradles, one for each wheel that holds it in place with the cam buckle straps, and then a hook here on top that cinches it down tight so that way it can't go anywhere.One of the nice features about this rack is that you can tilt it away while the bikes are loaded on it, even if you've got E-bikes loaded up on it, which are a little bit heavy and can be difficult to remove. We simply pull the lever here at the bottom and then our bikes can tilt away. This way, we can get access to the back of the vehicle. more

Hi there, Odyssey owners. Today in our 2019 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at, and test-fitting, Thule's Hitching Post Pro four bike rack hanging carrier. This bike rack can own up to four bikes, and it attaches to the top bar on your frame. It holds it in place on top with two straps into the cradles, and one vertical cradle that keeps it from swinging back and forth, preventing any bike-to-bike contact and bike-to-rack contact.What I like about these cradles is the grooves that they have in them, allowing room for your brake cables to run through, without them digging into the body, so it gives it a nice channel for those cables. It's easy to remove. You simply undo the straps, you just pull away, and they come undone, and then we can lift our bike off.Now with our bike off, we'll take some measurements because it is going to add to the length of your vehicle when you've got it out. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Honda Pilot- Video
Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2017 Honda Pilot, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Pro Two Bike Rack.One of my favorite things about this bike rack is that it's going to be made from aluminum, so it's going to be incredibly lightweight and easy to handle, we're also not going to have to worry about any rust or corrosion issues either. Our rack is going to hold our bike down in three spots, two straps here on the top tube, and a strap down here, that's actually going to be an anti-sway strap, which will help prevent any side-to-side movement, that way your bikes don't touch each other, or your bike doesn't touch the back of your vehicle.This rack can hold up to two bikes, however, if you need an extra one, Thule does make the same rack, except in a three bike version. Now let's go ahead and remove our bike, that way we can take a better look at the rack itself. To do it is very simple, we'll come here to our ratcheting straps, push down the lever, and pull the strap out. Once you have the straps out of the way, just grab our bike and set it off to the side. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Honda CR-V- Video
Speaker 1: Today, on our 2017 Honda CRV, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule T2 Pro XTB. This is available as a two bike platform, if you have an inch and a quarter hitch. If you have a two inch hitch, you can get it in a two bike platform or a four bike platform. All of these combinations can come in either silver or black. The greatest feature of this bike rack is how easy it is to lower it down. The handle at back releases letting it go down, unlike other bike racks where you have to fumble around with pins and clips up here to get it to lower down, and then the same thing when pulling it back up into place. more

Malone Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda CR-V- Video
Today on our 2016 Honda CR-V, we're gonna be taking a look at the Malone Hanger Three Bike Rack, part number MPG2127. Our bike's gonna be secured to our bike rack by two points. We're gonna have two cradles going across the frame right here, and then our strap is gonna come back on the vertical support, acting as a anti-sway. Now, the way we're gonna remove our bike, is if we come to our strap, so it's just gonna be a black knob, and if we pull out on our knob we can pull the strip out, and we can do the same thing with the other one. And with those straps undone we can go ahead and take our bike off and set it aside. The cradles are gonna have a nice, soft rubber to keep our bike secure, and then also we're not gonna have to worry about any scratches or abrasions on our paint. One of the nice features of our ratcheting straps are, they have a keeper at the bottom, so if we don't push our strap all the way through, there's less of a chance of us losing it. Now, our bike rack is gonna add quite a bit of real estate to the back of our vehicle, so I'd like to give you a few measurements. more
