Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Toyota RAV4

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the Yakima FullTilt on our 2017 Toyota RAV4. The FullTilt is a hang-style bike rack that can hold up to five bikes. It's gonna hold them by the frame here with two zip strips up top to keep it held down along with a third on the seat post to limit our side to side movement, which will help with bike to bike contact. Now, with this, you also have a 150 pound weight capacity, now, it's total, so make sure you're not overloading the bike rack. Now, because it makes frame contact, we do wanna avoid carbon frame bikes and alternative frame bikes or kids' bikes, we probably wanna pick up a bike adapter bar for those alternative frames to make sure the bike hangs level, and for the kids' bikes, it's to make sure that they can fit over this dual arm design, because it's typically not too friendly with those smaller frames. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Toyota RAV4

What's up everybody it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be checking out the Thule T2 Pro XTR on our 2017 Toyota RAV4. This is going to be a platform style bike rack that holds four bikes and it's going to hold the bikes by the tire. So that's what makes it unique. I like these better because some other ones, the platforms always have the mast in the center and have the hook down on the frame. That's going to make frame contact, and when the frame contacts involved, you don't want to do carbon fiber bikes or alternative frame bikes are just hard to get that hook to go down all right. more

Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com, I'm Bobby and today we're taking a look at the CURT Premium Four-Bike Carrier on our 2017 Toyota RAV4. Now, right away as you can see, this is a hanging-style bike rack and what's nice about this, we have a dual-arm support system, that's always great 'cause we're gonna get a lot less play with our bikes going left and right across our frame compared to some of those single-arm models. Then if we look here, this nice tapered end is gonna be great for us if we have any kiddos' bikes we want to fit on here. A lot of times, those kid bikes, you have to buy a bike adapter bar that's gonna actually allow you to use this three point system, but this being so tapered in, gonna allow us to get our kids bikes on there, make it really easy without any extra adapters. When we take a look here too, these nice reflectors on the end are really nice especially like we have here, when we only have one bike, sometimes it's hard for people that are actually traveling behind us to see our bike rack especially with it being black, so these are gonna be quite nice especially at night, just to alert the other drivers where our bike rack is. And taking a look at the cradles here, we have a nice rubber stripping system here, all these simply do, hook under, our bike gets put in place, we hook around, and we just simply go around that knob. more

However, we do have a frame mounted contact point. So keep in mind this isn't gonna be good for any kind of carbon frame bikes. This frame mount is going to deteriorate those carbon frames and also at a 35 pound capacity, we need to make sure that we are not over exceeding that weight limit. So especially in those e-bikes, you know, some of those bigger bikes, keep in mind definitely be measuring your weight. Those e-bikes, take it off those batteries, might get you under, but definitely be careful with it. more
