Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Ford Edge- Video
Hey everyone! Today we have a 2015 Ford Edge and we're going to test it with a Touhey Helium Pro Three-Bike Hanging Style Rack.Now this hanging rack's going to allow you to transport up to three bikes to and from the trails, or wherever else you're going to take them. It's got a pretty cool design in that it comes in at about 20 pounds, so it's going to be pretty light and very easy to handle so any time you're installing it into your hitch or taking it out, you're not going to have to put too much strain on your back or anything like that which is pretty nice because most, you know, three to four bike platform racks are going to get up there in weight. You know, 30, 40 pounds and that's just going to be a lot less weight you got to carry so, which is good for that.Now, the bike itself is going to be attached at three different points. We have two straps on top of the top tube, right there. The third point is going to be down here on the seat post tube. It's going to be securing, the strap is going to be securing it into the anti sway cradle and that just helps prevent a lot of unnecessary movement out of our bike while we're traveling.We're going to have an onboard cable lock that comes out from the base, it goes over top of your bikes and locks into this slot right there. more
