Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2012 Mazda CX-9- Video
Today on our 2012 Mazda CX-9 we'll be doing a test for the Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack. That's part number TS03G. It's also available as a two-bike rack, part number TS02G. I've already got it loaded up on the back of the CX-9, just to give you a good idea of what it looks like and how it secures our bike. It actually secures our bike in two spots. We have this large wheel hook going over our front wheel putting down pressure into the front wheel cradle here, and then we have a rear wheel strap going over our rear wheel. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2012 Mazda CX-9- Video
Today on our 2012 Mazda CX-9 we will be doing a test fit on the Thule Vertex 4 bike rack. That is part number TH9029XT. We already got it loaded up on the CX-9 to give you an idea of what it looks like and how it is going to secure our 4 bikes. It actually secures our bikes with 3 straps. We have the 2 straps for the top tube here, and then for our seat post too, we have an anti-sway strap. That is going to help prevent a lot of the sway and the bike roll around the road as well as prevent bike-to-bike contact and bike-to-vehicle contact. Let's go ahead and take it off. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2012 Mazda CX-9- Video
Today on our 2012 Mazda CX9 we'll be doing a test fit of the Swagman XC 2-bike rack. That's part number S64650. I've already got it loaded up on the CX9 just to give you a good idea of what it looks like and how it's going to secure our 2 bikes. It actually secures our bikes by 1 large hook right over the top tube here. It puts down pressure into our front and rear cradle, all the while making a nice secure fit. Let's go ahead and take our bike off. We'll first just raise up this front hook here by pressing in the little tab button there, and then we can remove our bike. more
