Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Hyundai Tucson we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Holdup Evo two by platform rack for two inch hitches, part number Y02479. We already have our bike installed here, let's take a closer look. And like most platform style bike racks, this can tilt away with both bikes still attached. It is a little different than the previous model in that we have this lever up at the front that you pull towards you, and that can enable it to tilt away and open up the rear hatch. So holding onto the bike rack, pull that handle towards us, and gently guide it down. And with that, we're able to open up our rear hatch with no problems and plenty of space in between the hatch and our handlebars.To put it back into it's original position, you simply lift up on the bike rack until you hear that click. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Hyundai Elantra- Video
Today on this 2013 Hyundai Elantra, we're going to be test-fitting the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Rack, part number S63380. As you can see we already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. How the bike actually attaches to the rack, you're going to have 4 points of contact with your bike's frame. We're going to have 3 straps up top, here and one strap off to the side here, which is going to serve as an anti-sway strap, to keep the bike from moving back and forth, possibly hitting the bike rack itself of the bikes in front of it. Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside. Now, once you remove the straps it's always a good habit to go ahead and put the straps back into place because you don't want to lose them while you're driving. With that done, I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements now. more
