RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Chevrolet Blazer

How's it going y'all This is Ed here at etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the RockyMounts AfterParty swing away bike carrier on our 2023 Chevrolet Blazer. All right, now this guy can support bikes up to 60 pounds per bike, and one of the really cool features of it is the fact that not only does it tilt away, it also tilts out, well, opens out, so you can access the rear of your vehicle without having to take your bikes off. Now, the AfterParty, this guy is gonna be a wheel mount bike carrier. Now why would you need a wheel mount carrier If you have a bike that's has carbon fiber in the frame or unconventional style, a wheel mount's gonna be the best way to secure your bike to your carrier, because it makes no contact to the frame and all this area wouldn't matter as far as, you know, maybe a frame mount style bike carrier. You can make adjustments as far as the different wheel size. And as far as your tilt feature, underneath here, there's a blue handle. more

Saris MHS Modular 2 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport

How's it going This is Ed here and we're takin' a look at the Saris MHS on the back of the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Well, the MHS is a solid bike carrier for you if you have two heavier e-bikes. It can support the weight of up to 80 pounds per bike and, as far as your wheel mounts, these guys are adjustable and they can support wheels up to a sizes between 20 inches and 29 inches using the tool free adjustment bar here and it also support a bike with a fender in the lower position where it would clear your fender. As far as the style of carrier, this is what's called a wheel mount carrier. Basically what that is is no contact to your frame. This is gonna work for any style of bike, but it's usually gonna be for a person that has a carbon frame or a type of frame where they don't want any contact from the carrier. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee

How's it going, this is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination four-bike carrier on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Destination is a four-bike platform carrier, and as far as being a carrier, is one of the better values to move four bikes. It is a frame mount where you're gonna have contact with your bike's frame, and then you have two straps along with the cradles that are gonna tie down to keep your wheels and everything stable. As far as how close you get to the vehicle with the bike on the closest position, you can kind of see with my handlebar here, I'm pretty close. Rocking it right here, I wouldn't be worried about it making contact, but it's something to definitely consider when you're making your purchase as far as the length of your handlebars. So let's take this guy off and take a closer look. more

How's it goin' today This is Ed with etrailer.com, and we're takin' a look at the Sport Rider SE on the back of the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. So, the Sport Rider is actually a really solid e-bike carrier. It has a weight capacity of up to 80 pounds per bike. One thing I think is a con is the fact that, you know, you would have to lift up your bike to get it up to this higher platform on your Traverse. As far as the contact, you have three points of contact on the bike from the carrier, two straps on your wheel cradles, as well as your padded hook. If you have a carbon fiber bike or something that has a nice paint job or, you know, a step through bike or anything like that, you may wanna look towards a wheel-mounted option. more

Hi, everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Piston SR with hitch adapter, and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Toyota Tacoma. So when it comes to bike racks on your truck, you've got options. You can always go with the tailgate pad, but sometimes it's just not feasible. If you've got a tonneau cover or a bed full of stuff, then the hitch is the best place to go after that. And especially with this one that we're looking at today, being a 1-bike rack, if it's just you, then why bother with a tailgate pad Even on the smaller sizes, they can accommodate up to two bikes and will take up almost half your tailgate, sometimes blocking things like your backup camera. more

As far as the type of person this bike carrier would work for, it's gonna be someone that's not particularly worried about contact with the frame, 'cause that's how it's suspended.

How you doing This is Ed here at etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Carrier on the 2021 Nissan Murano. Now the Destination is a solid bike carrier for your E-bikes, that weigh up to 70 pounds each. As far as your contacts, you have on the rear wheel, a single strap, the front wheel, you have two straps, and a center mast clamp that makes contact with the frame. If you have a carbon fiber bike or something with a special paint job, you definitely don't wanna go with something that's gonna make this kind of contact, however, we do offer cradle mount options. So as far as clearance on the rear of the vehicle in the upright position, the bike carrier will affect your backup sensors as well as your backup camera and license plate. It looks like the tires also will be obscured, you know, well, no, it looks pretty good as far as clearing the back of your tail lights, but depending on your bike, you may still have interference as far as seeing from your handlebar, so that will vary from your style bike. more

Also to consider is, if you have a carbon fiber bike or something with a nice paint job, the way that the bike is secured is making contact with the frame. more

Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we have the Kuat Piston SR Single Bike Rack, and we're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2024 Cadillac XT5. So the Piston SR is going to be a roof-mounted rack that also has a hitch adapter, and that's the kit that we are using with this vehicle.

So if you have an extra heavy electric bike or maybe you have an alternate frame or just a strangely shaped bicycle, this is more likely than not gonna be a very good fit for you.

Now the Destination four is what you would consider an entry level affordable bike rack but I actually think it is still a great fit for the XT5 just because of its features, how compact, how lightweight it is, and it actually does a good job with carrying around four bikes of different shapes and sizes. So even though it's an affordable rack it's still definitely worth looking at. I would get it if I had kids bikes, medium-sized bikes, and even mountain bikes. What this cannot carry, though, are electric bikes. more
