Kuat NV 2.0 2 Bike Rack Review - 2024 Buick Enclave- Video

Kuat NV 2.0 2 Bike Rack Review - 2024 Buick Enclave

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here and we're taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 on our 2024 Buick Enclave. All right, so the NV is actually a really good carrier for a person that's looking for a wheel mounted carrier. So a little bit of explanation on wheel mounted is that's how your bike in secured, is by making contact with only the wheel and nowhere on the frame. So if you have a carbon fiber frame, a nice paint job or unconventional frame, like a step through bike, wheel mount is generally gonna be a great option to secure your bike without making contact. So the Kuat has really easy controls, it's very premium carrier, and you can tell that from interacting with it. It makes it really easy to move things around. more

Yakima OnRamp 2 Bike Rack Review - 2024 Buick Enclave

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com taking a look at the Yakima OnRamp on our 2024 Buick Enclave. Well, the Yakima OnRamp is a great bike carrier for someone that has the Enclave because the hitch sits up so much higher. Having that included ramp makes a world of difference as far as loading your bikes. Once your bike is loaded, you'll notice that this is actually a frame mount bike carrier. So you're gonna have three points of contact. You're gonna have two straps on each one of your wheels and the center mast cradle that makes contact with your frame. more

Curt Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Buick Enclave

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Curt Premium Hitch Mounted Bike Rack on our 2020 Buick Enclave. One of the big questions that we get asked all the time in regards to these such amount of 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 and the way that we're going to do it, we move down here, we're going to need to loosen up this Thandle, you give that a few turns. Then we're going to have a 10 in clip that we need to pull up, let me just lift up on this THandle. That'll allow the rack to swing down and that'll give us more than enough space to open up our hatch and get whatever we might need in and out of the back of our Buick. more

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro on our 2020 Buick enclave. Now, one of the questions we do get asked all the time in regards to hitch-mounted bike racks is if you're still gonna be able to get into the back of your SUV, whenever you have the rack in place. And this one does allow us to do that. And that's because it folds down. So if we come down here and I have a pin and clip pull it out, and this thing drops down quite a bit a little bit further than a lot of the other type of racks. more
