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 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

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda Odyssey- Video

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

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
