Saris MHS 2 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon- Video
What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com, today we're gonna be checking out the Saris MHS platform system on our 2022 Subaru Outback wagon. This is gonna be a platform style bike rack, holds the bike by the tires, which really opens it up to a bunch of different style bikes, let's check it out. The different style of bikes this can carry are kind of unlimited because you don't have to hold it by the frame, so then even carbon fiber bikes can go on here where we usually don't recommend those on the hanging style because that could damage the frame but, holding 'em by the tires makes it far easier. Not only that, there's not gonna be a center mast here that's in the way on some other platform style bike racks, so it's gonna help with loading and unloading, and we'll get to that in a little bit but, just kinda want to point out some quick positives about it. Another thing, is it can tilt away with the bike fully loaded, so let's go ahead and do that, that way if you forget something in the back of your Outback or you wanna throw something in there and you got everything loaded, you don't have to take everything off just to get to the back of that so, we'll just pull on this lever down here, and the whole thing tilts down to about there. It's even got a stopper, just in case the hitch is a little bit lower, it would stop before it goes fully to the ground, which is nice because some of those bike racks that do tilt, if it is low you have to move your hand away from that handle before it touches the ground, this one's got a stopper. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon- Video
Hey everybody, how's it going, Today we're gonna be going over the Swagman Chinook two bike rack here on our 2022 Subaru Outback. So there's two main types of bike racks. We have the hanging style and we have the platform style. So these are both great, each in their own respective. Now the hanging style racks are typically a little bit lighter so they're easier to get on and off the vehicle and they're typically more cost effective. Whereas the platform bike racks where these really shine is they're gonna be much easier to load your bikes onto because you only have to lift them up a few feet in the air, whereas opposed to the hanging style racks you have to lift them up and over those arms, and sort of steady it all the way back onto the cradle. more

Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon- Video
What's up everybody. It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out, the Yakima OnRamp on our 2022, Subaru Outback wagon. It's gonna be a platform style bike rack, that holds the bike right up here on the frame so we don't recommend using carbon fiber bikes on this just because of the frame contact. But the good thing about that is these cradles, can spin 360 degrees, and, you can loosen them and adjust them up and down the mast. So, because they're so easily adjustable, it works with these e-bike frames because they are very much alike alternative frames so it's kinda hard to if they had a hook to come down here in the center, it wouldn't work really well with it. more
