RockyMounts RV and Camper Bike Racks Review - 2020 Acura MDX- Video

RockyMounts RV and Camper Bike Racks Review - 2020 Acura MDX

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at how the RockyMounts AfterParty swing away bike rack fits on a 2020 AC Acura MDX. So the RockyMounts AfterParty is pretty much the RockyMounts GuideRail dual wheel mounted bike rack that can also swing away. So if you want a full look at the features and specs, check out the great demo my friend Aidan did on this bike rack here at etrailer.com. We're gonna focus on the Acura MDX, mainly how much clearance do we actually get and how much can we carry on this rack It has a 60 pound per bike weight capacity. If you need to open up the hatch like the GuideRail, you have to tilt that down which means you have to lift all that weight on your own. And if you don't have this fully maxed out with that 60 pound per bike weight capacity that can be a pretty heavy lift. more

RockyMounts  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Acura MDX

Today on our 2015 Acura MDX, we'll be doing a test fit on the RockyMounts SplitRail Platform Style 2-Bike Rack. That's part number RKY1140. I've already got it loaded up on the MDX just to give you a good idea of what it looks like and how it's going to secure our bikes. It actually secures our bikes in 2 spots. We have this large frame hook going over our front wheel putting down pressure into our front wheel cradle, keeping that in place. Then, a rear wheel strap going over our wheel making sure that are our wheel does not come out from the tray. All in all, there is no frame contact with this bike rack. One of its best features, though, is that it has the ability to tilt away from our vehicle with bikes loaded, so we can gain access to our rear hatch. more
