Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Jeep Cherokee- Video

Ryan: Hey everybody. Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2016 Jeep Cherokee, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack. Now my favorite thing about this bike rack is that it's made from aluminum, so it's going to be extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver and handle, and we're not going to have to worry about any rust or corrosion issues, either.It's going to hold our bike down in three spots. We're going to use two straps here around the top tube, and one strap right here. Now that's actually going to be an anti-sway strap, and that's going to help eliminate any bike-to-bike or bike-to-vehicle contact.Now let's go ahead and take the bike off. more
