Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Ascent- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have Yakima OnRamp 2-Bike Platform Rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2019 Subaru Ascent. So, the Yakima OnRamp is definitely designed for your electric bikes. It has an included ramp attached to the bike rack. Great if you're the type of person that forgets to bring the ramp like I am and it is popular for the reasons of that ramp being able to adjust this and having a lot of versatility for how it secures the bikes. Now for the Subaru Ascent though we're gonna talk about how it fits with this vehicle. I personally think it's a great fit, especially since the height of the hitch on the Ascent makes it pretty necessary for ramps for those heavier bikes. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Ascent- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have the Swagman XC2 two bike platform rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2019 Subaru Ascent. So with this bike rack, it's gonna be really popular because it's a very entry level bike rack so it's affordable, but it also allows you to carry around your bikes on a platform rack rather than swinging around on a hanging rack. So if you're not interested on paying extra for features you may not need, this is something that you might consider. Now, there's definitely some downsides to that too, like you can't tilt it away, there's no locks, you have a 35 pound per bike weight capacity, things like that. So we'll talk about that, but we're gonna focus on our Subaru Ascent here to see if it'll be a right fit for your car. The very first thing I'd like to talk about is the clearance between the bike and the car. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Ascent- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have a Kuat Piston Pro bike rack for four bikes, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2019 Subaru Ascent. So, this is gonna be a pretty impressive bike rack. It's a large rack that's for sure, and it can carry four bikes, but it also has the Kuat at one touch pistons to make it quick and easy to load and unload those bikes. So, you just press a button and the arms swing up just like that, that's a pretty cool factor for when you're on the trails, and at the parking lot, and you're ready to grab your bikes and go. But there's some things you have to consider when you use this with the Ascent. One of the main things I've noticed with this bike rack is that the Ascent has a lot of ground clearance, the hitch sits really high off of the ground. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Ascent KU24FR- Video
Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have the Kuat Transfer V2 3 Bike Platform Rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2019 Subaru Ascent. So the Kuat Transfer is pretty popular for the reasons of it's a good premium rack without being as much of a premium price as the Kuat NV. So if you like Kuat bike racks, but you're looking for something that's maybe slightly more affordable that's where the Kuat Transfer comes in handy. Also, it has a unique goalpost design that makes it easier for you to grab your bikes and load them up as well as once it's in the compact position then you have more visibility behind your vehicle. But with how it works on the Subaru Ascent unfortunately this bike rack does not tilt down far enough away for you to fully open up your hatch door. So if that's a very important feature for you this might not be the best fit for you and I have some suggestions as alternatives if you stick around for the end of this video but first, I'll show you what I mean. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Subaru Ascent KU74FR- Video
Hey, Adam here with etrailer, today we're gonna to be taking a look at the Kuat Transfer on our 2020 Subaru Ascent. So if you're looking for a bike rack, that's gonna be great for your carbon fiber bikes. Look no further, I really liked this one, one, because it is gonna have no frame context. So it is great for those carbon fiber bikes, but it's also going to be able to extend to three. So if you have a growing family or your hobby is growing, we can add one more on the end to make it into a three bike rack, which is always awesome. So we are gonna have a little bit of limitations. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Ascent- Video
Hey everyone. Today, we have a 2019 Subaru ascent, and we're going to do a test fit of the Hollywood Racks Destination four bike platform rack. This platform rack is a great way to transport four bikes to and from the trails or wherever else you need to take them. What's really nice about this is that we have a really high ground clearance because it has a slightly angled up platform when it gets to the back. So our ground clearance is going to be much improved when compared to a lot of other bike racks out there. And given that on the ascent, the hitch does sit higher than most. more

We're test finishing different bike racks on it.This one happens to be the Thule Helium Pro 2 bike rack. Now the biggest thing this rack's got going for it, other than a lot of the features you generally find on a higher end hanging style bike rack is that it is extremely lightweight. That's where it gets the name Helium. This is something that you can very easily, even if you don't have a bunch of strength or maybe your hands aren't that strong, get loaded up into any vehicle and get attached. more
