Hi there, CR-V owners. Today, in your 2019 Honda CR-V, we're going to be taking a look at Thule's Hanging 4-Bike rack.This rack can hold up to four bikes.

Each of the cradles features a rubberized pad on them to give it a soft surface to ride on, as well as to keep it from slipping around, and there's grooves located in each of the pads, so that way there's a channel for your brake cables to sit in, so that way they won't rub up against your frame causing any abrasions or scratches to it.When you're ready to use your bike, it's easy to take it off. Simply press in on the lever, and then you can slide the Cam Buckle strap out. more

Hi there, Odyssey owners. Today in our 2019 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at, and test-fitting, Thule's Hitching Post Pro four bike rack hanging carrier.

It holds it in place on top with two straps into the cradles, and one vertical cradle that keeps it from swinging back and forth, preventing any bike-to-bike contact and bike-to-rack contact.What I like about these cradles is the grooves that they have in them, allowing room for your brake cables to run through, without them digging into the body, so it gives it a nice channel for those cables. It's easy to remove. You simply undo the straps, you just pull away, and they come undone, and then we can lift our bike off.Now with our bike off, we'll take some measurements because it is going to add to the length of your vehicle when you've got it out. more

Now let's go ahead and remove our bike, that way we can take a better look at the rack itself.

However, if you loosen this bolt right here like so, you can slide it up and down or side to side on the rack in order to meet any specifications of length a bike might have. As you can see, these rubber straps come up and around and latch into here. And it also comes with a rubber spacer right here for any type of bikes that might be deep into the cradle and need that space right there to help keep it locked into the cradle, like our road bike we have installed.So if we look at the bike, we're going to see it's secured at three different points of contact. We're going to see a rubber strap with this rubber spacer, making sure that that wheel stays locked in there. more
