Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima FullTilt hanging style bike rack and seeing how it fits on this 2023 Honda CR-V. With this being a hanging style rack, it's gonna hold the bike by the frame with the rest of the bike kind of hanging down below it. That's where it gets its name. This one holds it in place with two zip strips up top. That's gonna be the straps that ratchet in and hold it down into the cradles with the third one on the seat post limiting our side to side movement. more

RockyMounts GuideRail Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Cooper here at etrailer and today we're gonna be taking a look at our RockyMounts GuideRail on our 2023 Honda CR-V. Our bike rack is going to be a two-platform style bike rack, individually rated for 60 pounds each, meaning that our e-bikes are going to fit on it. As well as you can tell, there is no frame contact, which means that our carbon frame bikes, as well as our alternative frame bikes, are going to fit very well onto this rack. One of the really cool features about the GuideRail is it actually has a tilt-away feature. So holding onto our blue lever here, just holding onto our bike for a little extra security, we are able to tilt this away, allowing us access into our trunk. So that way we have our bike shoes back here, our helmets, maybe a water bottle or something. more

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima On-Ramp, hitch-bounded bike rack, and seeing how it fits in the back of our 2023 Honda CR-V. The On-Ramp is a platform style bike rack and this one holds the bike in trays. You can slide the bikes back and forth anywhere along these trays so long as the wheel straps reach the wheels and our frame clamp here can wrap around the frame. It's gonna be really more of a cradle with a strap around it than a clamp. more

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Hi, everyone. Aiden here at the etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro Hanging-Style Bike Rack, and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Honda CR-V. With this being a Hanging-Style Bike Rack, that does present some limitations. This isn't gonna be the best fit for carbon frame bikes because hanging by the frame here isn't good for those more fragile frames. This one holds it in these cradles with two straps over the top, and one around the side to limit our side-to-side movement, acting as an anti-sway cradle. more

Swagman Skaha 2 Electric Bikes Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Hi, everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman Skaha 2-Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Honda CR-V. The Skaha is a platform-style bike rack, holding up to two bikes in these wheel cradles and holding them primarily by our front tire using the wheel hook. Because it uses the wheel hook, we don't have any sort of frame contact here, making this a good option for carbon frame and alternative frame bikes, and with a 60 pound weight capacity per bike, it can handle some e-bikes too. At the bottom of the bike rack towards the front end here, there's gonna be a green lever. This is what we can use to tilt the rack down, releasing the mechanism there, and lowering the rack down. more

This platform-style rack holds the bike in two sets of wheel cradles that are adjustable on these arms, front to back, allowing us to fit a variety of different wheel bases. In addition to that, it's going to hold the bike by the frame with this frame hook up top. The frame hook will ratchet down over the center mast here and hold the bike in place. more

RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Rocky Mounts MonoRail hitch mounted rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Honda CR-V. Now the Monorail is going to be a platform style bike rack. Platform means that it's going to sit on top of this tray in these wheel cradles and this one is going to be a really great value option in my opinion. It can hold up to 60 pounds per bike, two bikes each and it's going to have no frame contact holding the bike by the front tire here using this wheel hook and the back tire with a wheel strap. No frame contact makes this a great option for carbon frame bikes and alternative frame bikes making this a very versatile rack in terms of what bikes it can work with. more

Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination E bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Honda CR-V. The Destination E is a platform style bike rack, holding the bike in these trays and primarily by our frame using this frame clamp. This is gonna rotate 360 degrees, move around the mast on the back here, and allow us to meet the bike where it is, that makes it a great option for alternative frame bikes. And with this being an e-bike rack, it can support up to 70 pounds per bike, so some of our bigger e-bikes can fit on here. The one thing I would steer away from is carbon frame bikes, because frame contact already isn't good for the carbon frame, and especially a clamp like this where we're putting a lot of pressure around that frame. more

Hi, everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 Base and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Honda CR-V. The NV is a platform-style bike rack, holding the bike in these trays with that front tire in a wheel cradle, held in by a wheel hook. That's gonna mean there's zero frame contact on the bike, making it good for carbon frame and alternative frame bikes, and with a 60 pound weight capacity per bike, you can get an e-bike on here too. There will be a second point of contact with the back tire in the form of a wheel strap. That's really just meant to hold that back tire down, keep it secured. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have a Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So, the Kuat Sherpa is a great middle of the road bike rack. I highly recommend it for people that just have a normal bike, and they wanna carry it around quickly and easily. It does have some downsides, like, it doesn't have a super great weight capacity for extra heavy electric bikes, but it does have some fun features, like this tilt away. So, if you pull this lever down here, (rack clicks) and you just let the bike rack drop down to a tilt, you will be able to open up your hatch. more

Saris Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we have the Saris SuperClamp EX two-bike platform rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So for this SuperClamp, it's a versatile bike rack and also very compact. You can carry your heavy electric bikes, but you also fold it up really easily, so it's easy to store, both on your vehicle and in your garage. Here with the CR-V, it does work pretty well with the vehicle, although there are some things I would consider, because it is a bit of a hassle to get your bikes on there. So we'll talk about that, but we're gonna focus on the tilt-away feature first. more

RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V RKY37ZR- Video
Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the RockyMounts AfterParty swing-away bike rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So the RockyMounts AfterParty is very similar to the RockyMounts GuideRail where you have a dual wheel mount bike rack. The thing that's special, though, with the AfterParty is it swings away, and that gives you full access to the back of your vehicle if you want to set up a campsite, open up the hatch, things like that. Now, with the CR-V, I personally would actually recommend just sticking with the RockyMounts GuideRail, and that's just because you can still tilt away both bike racks. So if you don't need that full hatch clearance, you'll still be able to open up your hatch with the bikes rack, bikes on without having to swing the entire bike rack away. more

So the Kuat NV is really nice and premium bike rack with a lot of premium features. With the Honda CR-V, I actually see this combination a lot, with them paired together, because the looks match, but also it's just really easy to use this bike rack. So we'll talk about those features and see if this works for your bikes. So the first feature we'll talk about is the tilt away feature. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V- Video
Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have the Hollywood Racks Destination Four Bike Platform Rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. The destination four bike rack is actually something I recommend very often for people just getting into needing a bike rack for their car. With a CR-V, it's a really good fit too because if you have your vehicle fully loaded with your friends and your family or maybe you have kids that wanna go for a ride this is a platform rack design specifically for that situation. It can fit kids' bikes, it can fit larger bikes. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V HLY94FR- Video
Hey, everyone, it's Eva Angeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Hollywood Racks Destination Two Bike Platform Rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So with this bike rack, you have a very lightweight, compact two bike platform rack. It is an affordable rack, so if you want the stability of a platform rack but at the price of what you would usually see for a hanging rack, this is what I would go with. There's some aspects of it that I really like but there's some downsides as well like how it has a limited weight capacity to 35 pounds per bike and this bike rack does not tilt away. So if you need to access your hatch, you are gonna have to take the bike off. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at Etrailer, and today we have the Curt Premium four hanging style bike rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. The Curt Premium is what I would recommend for people that want the hanging style bike rack but they want something that's affordable but also good for children's bikes and even mountain bikes. So because of the unique way that this bike rack is designed, where it tapers towards the end, it makes it easier for those types of frames. So if that's you, you might be interested in this video. First off is we do have a Curt Premium four. more
