Thule Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2012 Mazda 3- Video
Today on our 2012 Mazda 3 we're doing a test fit of a Thule Gateway XT Trunk-mount bike rack. That part number is TH9006XT.

Today we'll be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Baja 3, trunk mountain bike rack, part number HRB3. The Hollywood racks Baja is an inexpensive way to carry three bikes with the need of a hitch. What differentiates this trunk mount from other trunk mount bike racks is that the dual arms don't fold down for compact storage while it's on your vehicle. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's going to be a lot sturdier with less moving parts. It uses six straps total to mount it to your sedan or SUV, and the hooks are rubber coated so it won't harm the finish of our vehicle. It also features two pads at the top, and two pads at the bottom. more

Today on our 2016 Honda HRV we're going to be taking a look at the Saris Super Bones3-bike trunk mount rack with adjustable arms, part number SA802.

Let's take our bike off there. To do that, you simply push down on the tab and the strips will release and you can pull them back through. (pause) we can take our bike off there and set that off to the side. One of the nice features about this is that with these arms being adjustable you are able to fold them down. Before we do that, let's take a measurement to see what the total distance added to the vehicle is with this rack on here. more

Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda HR-V- Video
Today on our 2016 Honda HRV, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Halfback two bike trunk mount rack with adjustable arms, part #Y02636. On this bike rack it's secured to our two arms in 3 locations. We've got the two straps that go across the top here. Then one that is on the down tube of the bike here to serve as an anti-way strap to help prevent it from moving too much and not hit the bike next to it or the vehicle. Let's remove our bike. In order to do that you squeeze on the tabs on the sides of these straps. They're also called zip strips. more

Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda HR-V Y02634- Video
Today on our 2016 Honda HRV we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima full back 2 bike trunk mount rack with adjustable arms, part number Y02634. On this trunk mount bike rack, the bike secured down in 3 locations. It's got 2 straps that go across the top at either arm, and then down on the side where we've got the down tube, it's got one more that serves as an anti-sway strap to make sure that the bike doesn't move too far either way in order to hit the other bike or possibly the vehicle. It also features an integrated cable lock that would attach out here at the end of this arm to that post right there. Let's remove our bike. In order to do that, you simply squeeze on the tabs on either side and remove these straps which are also called "zip strips". Then we can take our bike and set it off to the side. Once we're done, it's a good idea to replace the zip strips so they don't get lost or damaged. Now let's take a couple measurements to see what the total distance is added to the vehicle. Total distance added to the vehicle, you're looking about 29 inches. The arms on this bike rack are adjustable. more

How the bike is actually attached to the rack, we're going to have three points of contact with the bike's frame. We're going to have two straps, up at the top here and one off to the side. That's going to serve as an anti squeeze trap to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth and possibly damaging the bikes in front of it. Let's go and take that off and set that aside. With the bike in this position, I'm going to go ahead and give you a quick measurement. more
