Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Platform Rack with Ramp Review - 2021 Subaru Forester- Video
Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at our Yakima OnRamp two-bike platform rack right here on our 2021 Subaru Forester. So the Yakima OnRamp is ideal for if you have extra-heavy electric bikes, and you don't like lifting them up onto your bike rack. That's a bit of an issue for me because we do have heavy bikes here at etrailer, and the height from the ground to where our hitch is on the Subaru Forester can make it an issue to lift it up on there. But also, even your normal bikes are perfectly fine up here on this OnRamp. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Subaru Forester- Video
Eva Angeline: Hi everyone. It's Eva Angeline here at Etrailer and today we are looking at the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 bike rack here on our 2020 Subaru Forester. So this is a great bike rack if you're looking for something that is solid, easy to use and will keep your bikes safe and secure as you go on your trip.One of its features which I'm super excited about since it does it so well is to tilt away. To do so pull this lever right over here and just let it slowly fall and you can see that angle of tilt away, which is really good because even with limited clearance here on our Forester, you can see that you can definitely open up your hatch, access the inside of your car, maybe put away groceries or get your bike helmet out all without having to take off your bike, because you can just tilt it away. And if you want to lift it back up, all you need to do is lift it back up and then snaps into place.The way our bike is mounted to our bike rack is by this wheel strap as well as this wheel mount. So the wheel mount is nice because even if you have it on your carbon frame bikes, your alternate frame bikes, it's perfectly fine because it's mounted by the wheel. more

Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2020 Subaru Forester we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4-bike rack. Right off the bat, in my opinion, I think this is going to be a really great way to carry multiple bikes. This rack's going to give you a lot of bang for your buck and be very functional on the back of your Forester. Not only is it going to look good, I think where it's going to sit relative to the back window, you're not going to have any issue seeing out the back as you're driving down the road. But, you still are going to be able to keep an eye on your bikes, which is a good thing, especially whenever you have multiple of them back here.It's really simple how the rack is going to work. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Forester- Video
Today on our 2019 Subaru Forester, we're going to be installing Kuat's NV 2.0 Two-Bike Platform Rack. This is a premium two-bike platform rack that's going to be ideal if you have carbon fiber because there's no frame contact. If you have frame contact, that could potentially damage your carbon fiber bikes, so by clamping it here on the wheel, we keep our frame nice and safe.One of the great things about this bike rack is its tilt feature. There's a lever located here that you can pull to lower the rack down, giving you access to your tailgate. This is nice if you have things in the trunk that you need to access. You can get to those without having to take your bike all the way off. more
