Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we are looking at the Yakima BackRoad hanging style bike rack here on our 2018 Audi Q5.

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Audi Q5- Video

Hi everyone, it's Eve Angeline here at etrailer. And today we are looking at the Kuat Sherba 2.0, two bike rack here on our 2018 Audi Q5. Now the Kuat Sherpa is what I think of as the ideal middle of the road bike rack. It's nice, pricey as say, the Kuat NV but it still has the premium features that you would expect in a correct bike rack. Now, one of its features is that it can tilt away and to do so, you pull on this lever right over here and that allows this bike rack to drop down, to tilt. And you'll want to tilt it away if you want to add access your hatch. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Audi Q5 NV22G- Video

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we are looking at the Kuat NV 2.0 two-bike rack here on our 2018 Audi Q5. Now the Audi is a premium car, so I would see the Kuat NV as a great pair, since it is a premium bike rack. It has all of the wonderful features, the weight capacity, even the extra bike repair stand, great things that you would expect from a premium Kuat bike rack. So one of its features is that it can tilt away and to do so, you pull on this lever right over here. That allows it to drop down to a tilt, and you'll want to do this if you wanna access the hatch on your vehicle. So as you can see, with the door opening, there's plenty of space between our hatch and our bike allowing us to get in there, maybe grab our water, grab our bags, grab our helmets, without having to take our bike off, which means you can get onto the trail a lot quicker. more

RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Audi Q5- Video

Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com and today you're going to be taking a look at the RockyMounts Platform Style Two Bike Rack on our 2018 Audi Q5. One of the big advantages to a platform style bike rack is, it is going to be extremely secure, but we're not going to have any frame contact on our bike.You have a carbon bike like we have here, we're not going to have to worry about it damaging it or even any kind of scratches or abrasions on the paint. But another big advantage to a platform style rack is that we're going to be able to get into the access to our rear hatch, without having to remove our bikes.If we come to this lever right here in the middle, we actually pull on that lever, we can lower the bike down and that'll give us plenty of room to come over from the side. You could open up our rear hatch to get anything in or out that we may need. We've got plenty of room right here, even to grab some of those larger items. As soon as we're done, I'm gonna close up our hatch. more

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Audi Q5- Video

Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today you're going to be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Hanging Style Bike Rack on our 2018 Audi Q5. Now the Hitching Post Pro is going to allow us to carry up to four bikes to and from the trail. It's going to alleviate the problem of having to cram your bikes in the back hatch, or take another vehicle so you can fit everything and all the people with you. It's also going to alleviate the problem of having to reach all the way on top of our vehicle to load and unload the bikes. This is going to be a lot easier, safe, secure way to get your bikes to and from the trail.Now since it's the hanging style, we're going to have three points of contact. We'll have two on the cross tube and one on the vertical support, and that's going to act as a anti-sway to prevent that bike-to-bike contact and swinging too much when we're driving down the road. more
