Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Hyundai Tucson- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Hyundai Tucson, we're going to be test fitting the Thule T2 Pro XTB 2 Bike Platform Rack for 2" Hitches, part number TH9034XT.We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look. Like most platform style racks, this can tilt away from the vehicle with both bikes still attached to get rear hatch access. But unlike others, the way to tilt it away, we have this handle up at the front, which is very convenient because most platform styles will have a switch or a knob or something that you have to remove up towards the front here to be able to tilt it away, which can be pretty awkward when you have two bikes installed or if you we're to get extensions, three or four bikes.We'll come to the handle here, pull it towards us and let it come down. Now, we have full hatch access. There's going to be plenty of space between the hatch and the handlebars, as you can see here. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Hyundai Tucson, we're going to be test fitting the RockyMounts MonoRail two bike platform rack for two inch hitches, part number RKY10004.We have a bike attached to the bike rack already. Let's go ahead and take a closer look at it here. Like most platform style bike racks, this can tilt away from the vehicle with both bikes still attached to gain full hatch access. To make it even easier when you're lowering it down or tilting it away, it has this lever here at the end where you pull it towards you, and that enables you to tilt. A lot of other bike racks of this style, they're gonna have the pins up at the front that you have to remove individually, or the one lever that you have to pull out, and that can be pretty awkward when you have two bikes attached, or if you we're to get the extension for this, even three or four bikes attached.So to lower it down, you go to that lever, holding on to the bike rack, pull it towards you, and let the bike rack come down. Now we have full hatch access. more

RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Hyundai Tucson RKY10002- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Hyundai Tucson, we're going to be test-fitting the Rockymounts Back Stage 2 Bike Platform Rack for 2 inch hitches, part number RKY10002. We have a bike installed already. What sets this apart from the other platform style racks is it has multi-functions here. For one, it can tilt away with both bikes attached, to gain rear hatch access, but it can also swing out away from the vehicle for hatch access as well.How it tilts away, we have this handle at the front, and this is really nice for these platform style racks because a lot of them will have either the knob or the pins up at the front that you have to remove, and when you have 2 bikes installed, it can be pretty difficult to get through there, just to release it, and not only that, to help lift it down. With this, it's at the end. We pull that lever towards us while holding onto the bike rack, and you let it tilt towards you, nice and easy.In this case, our hatch opens with no problems, and plenty of space between the handle bars and the hatch as well. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Hyundai Tucson TH9054- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Hyundai Tucson we're going to be test fitting the Thule Double Track Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, Part Number TH9054.We already have a bike on the rack. Let's go and take a closer look here. Unlike most platform style racks, this cannot tilt away with both bikes attached. Instead, this is more of just your basic bike rack to get your bikes from point A to point B. What does make this unique from other styles though, even though it has the center mast style clamping system, instead of having the hook that comes down to put it in place they have the clamps that can be adjusted up and down or whatever configuration you may need for your frame to hold that in place. Therefore, you really don't need the bike adapter bars that you would with the hook styles for bikes like kids' bikes or alternate frame bikes.It also has straps at both tires to hold it in place, and this can accept fat tire bikes up to 5" wide. more
