Thule Doubletrack Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2014 Kia Forte- Video

Thule Doubletrack Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2014 Kia Forte

Hello everyone. Andy here from etrailer.com and today we're going to take a look at the Thule Doubletrack Platform bike rack on our 2014 Kia Forte. So some of the nice features about this platform-style bike rack is with it being a frame mounted, it's going to be accommodating to different styles and sizes of frames. It's going to work great with Awol bikes here, or even with kids' bikes. You can kind of adjust the wheel trays in order to fit that whether it's smaller or larger, and it is going to fit any type of bikes, such as a walk-through bike, that's going to work great for that as well. So although this platform rack doesn't have a tilt-away or tilt-down feature, it does still work great with having trunk access with our Forte here. more

Clayton: Hi, everybody. Clayton, here at etrailer.com. Today, we are going to be taking a look at the CURT four-bike, hanging style bike rack on our 2021 Kia Telluride.It's going to be really good to get all of our bikes, either off of our roof, or out of the back of our Telluride, and just make more room for our passengers. And just lifting our bikes up on the roof really isn't that much fun. So, having a hanging bike rack is going to make it really easy to live with. Now, we can take four bikes with us, so this is going to be really good for families, or if you're taking a friends' trip, just wanting to go out to the trails, this is going to be a great option for you.This is going to be a frame-mount bike rack, so this is going to be better for the metal frames. more

Rob: Everybody it's Rob here at etrailer.com. They we're to be taking a look at the Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Style Rack, on our 2020 Kia Sportage. Now, I really like this rack mainly because it doesn't have any frame contact. So if you have a road bike with the carbon frame, like we have here, you definitely don't want a rack that does have any frame contact because it does put that extra stress on the frame. But it's still going to work out great for a lot of different styles of bikes as well. You can see that we're going to have two wheel hooks that's going to hold our bikes securely down into the trays that they're sitting on. more

Rob: Hi everybody, it's Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks SE4 Bike Platform Style Rack on our 2020 Kia Sportage. Now, I really like the Hollywood Racks, mainly because of how versatile this rack is. It's going to allow us to carry up to four bikes, to and from the trail, and we don't have to worry about putting the bikes inside of our Sportage, or if you're like me, I don't really like the idea of a roof-mounted bike rack, just because I don't want to have to lift my bike that high and get that close to my car. So having a hitch-mounted bike rack is going to make it easier, and the fact that we can carry four is really nice.Now I know one of the big things that a lot of people wonder about with platform-style racks and all the other kinds of racks that are out there is, can you get access to the back hatch Because that's pretty important. We don't want to unload all of these bikes just to get something, and we can get in the back hatch. more

We already have a bike installed on the rack; let's take a closer look and show off some of the features. We're gonna start with the arms here and work our way inward. Starting with this point here, this is gonna be a locking point for the integrated cable lock that comes with the rack and rests in one of the main masts. It'll pull out, wrap around your existing bike frames, and then attach to this point here and lock into place at the end, and it does come with two keys for this.With the cradles, these do adjust back and forth as needed and side to side as needed, and the cradle here has this nice, thick rubber pad, and that's gonna help protect the frame of your bike once it's being installed. It will grip your bike at three points: we're gonna have the two straps up at the top as well as the one off to the side. more

Yakima RidgeBack Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Kia Sportage

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Kia Sportage, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Yakima RidgeBack Hanging Style 2 Bike Rack. That's part number Y02457.I've already got it loaded up just to give you a good idea what it looks like and how it's going to hold our bikes. It actually holds our bikes with three straps, they're called ZipStrips. We've got two ZipStrips for our top tube and then one for our seat post tube.The one for our seat post tube is going to prevent sway in our bike, as well as bike to bike contact, bike to vehicle contact, and bike to bike rack contact. An interesting way how they work is they are a molded design. It's going to make them really easy to use compared to other straps. more

It'll hold fat bikes with a tire width up to 5" wide. One of the other things I like is how it holds our bikes. The clamp design will hold our bikes by their top tube, their down tube, or their seat post tube, so that's a really nice feature. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Kia Sorento, we're going to be test fitting the Saris Glide EX 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, part number SA774.Here I have a bike installed on our rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look here. This is a pretty unique hanging style bike rack in that it can move away from the rear of the vehicle with all four bikes still attached to gain rear hatch access. Normally, you would need a swing out version of bike rack, meaning it swings completely away from the vehicle to get that access and keep all your bikes on there. Otherwise, you'd have to take everything off and tilt it away.It's a very easy process. We have this trigger here. more
