RockyMounts MonoRail Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2022 BMW X7

Hey, everybody. Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at our RockyMounts MonoRail on our 2022 BMW X7. Our bike rack is going to be a platform style bike rack, being able to hold two bikes weighted for 60 pounds each, which means our e-bikes are going to be able to be held by this, as well as, we have frameless contact, our front hook as well as our back ratchet strap, means that our carbon frame style and our alternative frame style bike racks are going to be able to be held by this bike rack. In order to gain access into our hatch, this bike rack actually comes with a foldaway feature. We just have to pull the lever, slowly took this out of the way, and they'll be able to gain access into our hatch. more

Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Review - 2022 BMW X7

Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer and today we're going to be taking a look at our Kuat NV 2.0 on our 2022 BMW X7. Our bike rack's going to be a platform style bike rack holding up to two bikes weight rated at 60 pounds each which means our heavier e-bikes are going to be okay for this bike rack. And as we kind of notice here amongst our back strap and our front strap it's going to be frameless style contact as well which means we are going to be able to use our alternative frame bikes as well as our carbon frame bikes too. One of the really nice things about the NV is it actually comes with a tilt away feature, and then we're gonna do that by pulling our lever right here and then slowly tilting it back which is gonna allow us access into our truck. So that way if we have our shoes, our helmet back here or anything, or if we just want to sit down after our ride, before we head out for the day, we're gonna have the ability to do that. Even with the X7's additional tilt down features there's still plenty of room for me to sit down right here even put my shoe up and tie if I really wanted to. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the RockyMounts MonoRail platform two-bike bike rack on a 2022 BMW X3. And when choosing a bike rack, there's plenty of options out there. And as someone that's had a variety of different bike racks on my vehicle I've kind of landed on one style that I really like and that's gonna be a platform wheel-mounted with tilting. And that's because it really checks a lot of the boxes. First off, your platform is, I think, the best way to secure your bike. more

Hello neighbors. It's Brad here in etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the INNO Tire Hold two bike platform style bike rack on the 2022 BMW X3. Now, when it comes to platform style bike racks they all do a really good job of holding onto the bike. But you do have your frame mounted ones which are gonna be pretty good at holding down the bike but it kind of limits you if you have a carbon fiber frame and sometimes with some oddball shape frames especially with new geometry. Sometimes I'm not exactly happy with the way that it sits on there. more

Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro on a 2022 BMW X3. Now when it comes to choosing a bike rack for your vehicle there's definitely two options that are the main components in differentiating between the two, and one of those is our hanging style, the other one's gonna be the platform. And the hanging style has kind of been the standard for a long time, just because it's ease of use and also the ability to get multiple bikes without a huge footprint. And the platform style offers I think, a little bit more secure attachment to a bike, especially heavier bikes. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 BMW 3 Series

Hi there, BMW owners. Today in your 2022 BMW X3 Series, we're gonna be test fitting Kuat's NV 2 platform bike rack. This is a platform rack that offers you security by hooking your bikes by the wheels, which is great. If you have a carbon fiber bike you don't wanna clamp it onto the frame like some of the other platform styles do on a carbon fiber, it could potentially damage the frame from the vibrations. So by clamping it onto the wheels, we're able to haul pretty much just about any bike on this thing. If we take a look here at the front wheel the cradle that it sits in here does have various grooves in it for different sizes whether you're gonna be using a road bike like this it tapers down very small, up to your mountain bike sizes, it's got an opening there for those. more

This one will hold it by both of the wheels, both of the front and the rear. This way, it can secure your bike without securing in a way that could potentially damage certain style of frames, like our carbon fiber. more

Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we're looking at the Curt Premium hanging style bike rack here on our 2015 BMW X5. So the Curt Premium bike rack is a very family friendly bike rack. Why is it family friendly Well, it has a very unique design where the cradles are further apart here towards the beginning. And then when it comes to the end, it tapers or becomes more narrow. And this is especially helpful when you have children's bikes, because your normal hanging style bike racks that have straight arms, it's really hard to maneuver those children's bikes through. more

When it comes to getting a bike rack for your bike, for your vehicle, it can be a little bit tricky deciphering which one's the best for you. And I always suggest to people, if you ride a lot or plan on riding for a long time and not have to buy a new bike rack, you're best to go with a platform style. And platform does come in a little bit more of a premium price, but it really does allow you to carry any kind of bike on there safely without any sway, and I'm gonna explain why that is. more

When it comes to the world of platform-style bike racks, you have two, real, main options that separate the two and that would be your frame mount versus your wheel mount. Your frame mount is gonna be good to hold and cinch down your frame of the bike, and it's gonna keep it in place quite well. The wheel does just as good of a job, but the wheel mount putting the pressure on the tire gives you an added sense of mind that it's not gonna be scratching anything as it's clamped down on the tire, it's not gonna cause any potential marks. And also if you have a carbon frame bike, this is ideal because sometimes your frame mounts can actually cause damage and warp the frames of those carbon. more
