Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Bike Rack Review - 2018 Ford Explorer

Hi Matt with etrailer. and today we're gonna be talking about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE bike rack on the 2018 Ford Explorer. Now this is gonna be one of our more heavy duty platform bike racks. It's gonna have the potential to hold up the two bikes up the 80 pounds per bike so that's gonna be able to accommodate your e-bikes. And what's also great about that is 80 pounds is a lot of weight, so compared to other e-bike carriers it's gonna outperform most of them. Since it is able to accommodate 80 pounds per bike, it's also gonna be a little bit more difficult to maneuver around but it's also gonna have three tie-down points, two in the tires, and then one on our main frame. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Ford Explorer

Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2018 Ford Explorer, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule helium platform style bike rack.So the rack that we have here today is the two bike version. But if you don't need to carry that many, there's also a one bike version available as well. And one of the things I think is really cool and really separates this platform style rack from any of the others is how it's going to secure the bike. We're going to have a wheel hook for the back tire, as well as the front tire. And so that's going to do a great job of keeping your bike secure, and especially good for those of you with carbon bikes. more
