Yakima Roof Bike Racks Review - 2020 Mazda CX-5- Video
Andy: Hello everyone! Andy here from etrailer.com and today we're going to take a look at the Yakima High Road Roof Bike Rack on our 2020 Mazda CX-5.So this roof rack is going to be great for hauling just a single bike. It's a great option whenever you . let's say you don't have a hitch and you either have after market roof bars because you carry a ski or snowboard, or a cargo basket on top, or you even have the factory-installed roof bars, as well. This would be a great choice.One thing that is nice about it is going to be how low-profile it is and it only having the mounting hoops on the front, that way you don't have to, kind of, fight with mounting the rear wheel from the back. Being a little bit higher up, it is a little bit more difficult to get that bike up there, but this is going to be a great option whenever it comes to easy as far as putting the bike up on top of the roof.When it comes to getting your bike secured to the roof rack here, there are two mounting hoops and one attachment point here on the rear that's a strap. So let's go ahead and show you how to get the bike off of the vehicle now.First, I'm going to go ahead and remove the rear points, since most of our contact and security is going to be in the front and from here, I'm going to hold onto the frame and loosen up this torque knob here and that's slowly going to lower that back and bar down and once I've removed that tension, I can kind of hold onto the bike, remove a little bit more on that torque knob, and slowly get it moved down as I'm holding onto the bike, as well. more

Inno Roof Bike Racks Review - 2020 Mazda CX-5- Video
Andy: Hello, everyone. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're going to take a look at the Inno Tire Hold 2 roof bike rack on our 2020 Mazda CX-5. One of the reasons to choose the roof mounted bike rack, instead of let's say a hitch mount, and you might have a cargo basket or cargo carrier that's back on the back, you don't have the options or you have a factory mounted roof bars, this would be a great choice because it is an easy installation with all shapes and sizes as far as the roof bars that it mounts to. It's a quick and easy installation with no tools needed, and you can adjust it whether you want it on the driver's side or on the passenger side as well.So having this as a option on your CX-5 works best with carbon fiber or carbon frame bikes, is tire mounted or wheel mounted, and it will be able to adjust to other size frames, other size wheels as well. So it could work great with kids' bikes. more

Rhino-Rack Mountain Trail Rooftop Bike Rack Review - 2020 Mazda CX-30- Video
Adam: What's going on everybody Adam at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Mountain Trail roof mounted bike rack on our 2020 Mazda CX-30. So in my opinion, this is going to be a great way just to get one bike to and from your destination with our CX-30 here, just because it's not necessarily a really tall vehicle.So with a roof rack system on it, it's very, very easy to get even the maybe more heavier bikes up and on to our rack. It's something you could do by yourself obviously, we only have one here. But we can do plenty of these bike racks on this roof rack system. So if you have a friend, grab two of them, you can put them on both sides and you guys will both be able to easily lift this up and load it up yourselves.So one thing that I thought of when I pulled the CX-30 into the shop, it's pretty attractive looking. more

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima HighSpeed roof-mounted bike rack on our 2020 Mazda CX-30.So this bike rack is going to be great for not only just your fork mounted bikes, but also your thru-axle bikes. We're going to have some options when it comes to which skewer we can use for what kind of bikes you guys have, which is definitely a plus. It gives you all those options for your bikes and also some wheel adjustability to accommodate for all those different wheel bases that you might be carrying. And also with the way that it secures down to our bars, we're going to be able to use a wide variety of bars. We have some aerodynamic bars that we have here, but even if you have round bars, square bars, pro bars, something like that, even the BedRock HD bars, they are going to clamp around there really, really easily.So right when the CX-30 pulled up, I really liked the look of it and especially the look of the back end of it. more

Yakima Roof Bike Racks Review - 2020 Mazda CX-30 Y02114- Video
Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima HighRoad roof mounted bike rack system on our 2020 Mazda CX-30. What really sets this bike rack apart is the fact that it is a no frame contact, but also, literally no tools we're used to install this onto our system. It was really quick and easy to get the bike onto the rack and secured down, and it was also really easy to get it secured to our bars here. So if you guys have a roof rack system on your CX-30, I do think this is going to be a great way just to get one bike to and from wherever you guys need to be going. It locks, we have a cable lock for the bike as well. more

Swagman Upright Roof Mounted Bike Rack Review - 2020 Mazda CX-30- Video
Adam: What's going on everybody Adam, with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman Upright on our 2020 Mazda CX-30.So this is going to be an extremely entry level bike rack, but it gets the job done. I wouldn't prefer it if I had a carbon fiber bike. So this is an aluminum bike, just because we do have frame contact, and it is really squeezing on that frame. So if you have a carbon fiber bike and you're looking for an entry level way to get it to and fro, this is not going to be the bike rack for you. But one of the features that I liked about it, once fully assembled, no tools required. more

With the Thule roof rack system assembled onto our vehicle, we'll begin our test fit by placing our carrier directly onto our load bars. We'll remove the black plastic cover at the front and bring our rubber-coated straps around our load bar, fitting them back into the head of the carrier. We'll then use an Allen key to tighten the Allen bolt to tighten our straps around our load bar. Once we have that tight, we can then replace the black plastic cover. We'll move to the rear and bring our rear clamp around our rear bar, feed the bolt back through the clamp, and tighten down with an Allen tool. more
