Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Audi Q5- Video
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. Now, the Yakima BackRoad is what I consider the premium hanging style bike rack. While I usually recommend getting a platform style rack, some people like this hanging style. And if they want the most comfort for their bikes, this is the one I would recommend. more

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

Saris Freedom SuperClamp Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2014 Audi Q5- Video
Today on our 2014 Audi Q5 we're going to be test fitting the Saris Freedom Superclamp 2-bike platform-style rack, part number SA4025. We'll begin our test fit by inserting the shank of the rack into our receiver hitch. You'll want to watch for the pinholes to line up. That way you can insert the threaded anti-rattle hitch pin bolt. Go ahead and get that as tight as you can by hand and then we'll finish it off with our wrench. Tightening this down helps to take any extra movement out of the shank of the rack, which overall eliminates movement of the bike going down the road. more

Yakima FullTilt Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2014 Audi Q5- Video
Today on our 2014 Audi Q5 we are going to be test fitting the Yakima full tilt 4-bike rack four inch and a quarter and two inch hitches. Part number YO2462. We will begin our test fit by inserting the shank of the rack into the receiver hitch on our vehicle. You will notice here that there is a self-locking pin, so we will go ahead and keep a finger on the anti-rattle device so that it does not bound up as we insert our shank and press this in until it clicks into place. As you can see we are locked into place and it is not going to move out of there. We will then tighten down the anti-rattle knob here. Sometimes it helps to wiggle the rack around a little bit as you tightening it down. And as you can we are nice and secure. With our rack in this position the closest part of the rack to the vehicle is going to likely be the base of the mast here. That is going to measure about three and a quarter inches and the arms are going to measure about five and a quarter inches from the rear of the vehicle. The pin is going to be our lowest point so that is going to be about 8 1/2 inches off the ground. more

This helps to take any extra play out of the shank and overall will reduce movement of the bike on the rear of the vehicle. Get that tightened down real good and as you can see we're nice and tight there. We'll go ahead and get a couple of measurements. more
