Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Review - 2022 Ford Edge- Video

Hi everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at our Kuat Sherpa on our 2022 Ford Edge. Our bike rack here is going to be a platform style bike rack weighted at 40 pounds for each bike and is going to be contactless frame support, meaning that's going to be great for our carbon frame bikes and our alternative frame bikes as well. In order to engage our tilt away function, we're just gonna go ahead and lift up a little bit on that, allowing us to disengage our lever here, and then just tilt our bike rack away from our vehicle which is going to allow us access into our trunk. Now it's not really enough room to sit down and maybe change my shoes, but it does allow me access into the trunk itself to maybe pick up my shoes or pick up my helmet or my lunch. Now, in order to get our bike frame back up, we're just gonna go ahead and grab it, lift up until we hear that click sound and that means it's back into place. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the RockyMounts HighNoon FC 3 Bike Platform Rack. We're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2022 Ford Edge. This is a very versatile bike rack, great for carrying around bikes in different shapes and sizes. If you're familiar with the Rocky Mounts MonoRail, this is gonna be very similar with another added feature though, which is going to be fender capability.

Now, I personally really like hitch mounted bike racks. I personally think it's a lot easier than cramming them in the back of the hatch, and I don't like the idea of having a roof rack on our Edge. I'm a little bit on the shorter side, and I just don't like the idea of having to lift my bike this high, and being this close to the paint. So a hitch mounted carrier is going to make it a lot easier on our backs, because we're not going to be lifting our bikes as high, and again, we don't have to be so close to the car and worry about any kind of scratches or damage.Our Hitching Post Pro is going to hold our bike at three different points. more
