Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Hey, everybody. Welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today, we're taking a look at the Yakima Backroad four-bike rack carrier on our 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Now this can be an excellent way of getting a multitude of bikes up on our racks into the trail head with us, whether we got a family or a group of friends, it's gonna be an awesome subset for us. Now right off the back, as you can see, this is a hanging style rack. So if you're looking a way of getting those carbon frame bikes on the road with you, this won't be an option as we do have frame contact, three points, in fact, that will start warping and deteriorating that carbon frame. more

Hey, everybody. Welcome to etrailer.com, I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Platform Rack on our 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Now, this can be a pretty awesome way of getting our bikes up onto our car with us. As you can see, we are going to have a wheel tire hold pattern here, so if you're needing a way of transporting your carbon frame bikes, this can be a great option, as we aren't getting any kind of frame contact, so we won't be damaging this frame, warping it, deteriorating it as we go down the road. Now with it being a tire hold as well, we aren't going to have any issues with the women bikes, step-through bikes or even those bikes, as we don't have that middle attachment, so it completely eliminates our need for those bike adapter bars. So, pretty obvious solutions over, or obvious advantages over those hanging styles as you can see, and with a 60 pound weight capacity, we are going to get most of our bikes up on here, I can even see us getting most of our electric bikes up here, just make sure we are removing those battery packs before we get them loaded, so we're not damaging our rack or our bikes as we get down the road. more

Hi everyone! It's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we are looking at our Yakima BackRoad four bike hanging style rack here on our 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander. This is a great bike rack if you are looking for something that gives you a little extra clearance between your bikes and you're worried about the sway when you are on the road. So, the way our bike is mounted to this bike rack is we have one, two zip strips on the top frame, and then another one here at the bottom that works as our anti-sway cradle. I really like this one because it has a narrow fit, so it really takes out that sway. So when you want to take it off, you start down there at that third cradle, just pull that zip strip out, press those buttons, pull that strip out like that. So that's one, two and three. more

Starting out with the arms, at both ends of the arms here, we're gonna have the patented Yakima bottle openers with our cradles. They're gonna be stationary meaning they can not move back and forth or side to side, however they do have this super cushioned material here and that's gonna help protect your bike's frame once it's being installed, so it doesn't get any scratches on it.There's also padding on the zip strips, excuse me, to help with that as well. How's it's gonna grip your bike, will have three points of contact. We'll have two zip strips up at the top and one off to the side and that's gonna serve as an anti sway cradle to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth and causing bike to bike contact.Now, with the anti sway cradle, you can push this up and out of the way like I have it here and that's gonna help loading and unloading the bike's, much easier for you, so you don't have to shimmy back and forth trying to get around things.Let's go ahead and take the bike off. more

Instead, we have this handle at the front where you can just as easily come back here, give it support if need be, but pull it towards you and let it tilt forward.Now we have full hatch access to get whatever we need and plenty of space in between the bike rack and the bumper to do so as well.

Yakima  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, we're gonna be testing the Yakima HoldUp EVO two bike platform rack for two inch hitches, part number Y02479.We already have a bike installed on our rack here. Let's take a closer look at it. Like most Yakima bike racks, this does have the bottle opener at the end here. And also, like most platform racks, this can tilt away from the vehicle with both bikes still attached. They did make a slight upgrade to this where we have this handle up at the front, where before, we had two pins, one we had to remove and one we had to pull out to lower it down. Now, you simply just pull it towards you, and let it come forward, holding on to the bike rack. more

Yakima  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Y02481

Speaker 1: Today, on our 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima, SingleSpeed, 1-Bike Platform Rack, for 1 1/4" and 2" hitches. Part number Y02481.We have a bike installed on a rack. Let's take a closer look here.And this is pretty much a bare bones basic rack for the one person who wants to take their bike from point A to point B. Right now, we have a road bike on it but this will also work with mountain bikes, most kid's bikes, alternate frame bikes and fat bikes with a tire width up to 5" wide.This is a wheel mount carrier. Meaning it grips it by the wheel mount here and then we'll also have a rear strap back here. Now because it is a wheel mount, you're able to carry all those wide varieties of bikes without having to worry about any frame contact, or having to use a bike adapter bar.At the end of our wheel hook up here, we do have an integrated cable lock to wrap around the bike through the frame here and attach it to this point to secure your bike to the bike rack.This is keyed alike with our anti-rattle knob but we'll get to that a little bit later.We'll start by removing the bike. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Four Timer, four bike platform rack, for 2" hitches, part number Y02469. We already have a bike installed on our rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look.Like most platform racks, this can tilt away from the vehicle, with all four bikes still attached. This can get pretty heavy, depending the bike configuration. You may need an extra set of hands to help you out with this. What we're going to do is, we're going to lift up slightly on the bike rack, remove the gray pin on the side here and pull out this red pin and let the bike rack come towards us.This is going to be pretty tight, or at least it's going to look that way, but we still have full hatch access to get what we need, and there's more than enough space in between the handlebars and the hatch itself where that's not going to be an issue.To put it back in it's original position, we'll lift up 'til you hear the click. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, we're going to be test fitting the Kuat Transfer 2-bike platform rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, part number TS02G. We have a bike already installed on our rack so let's go ahead and take a closer look here.Like most platform-style racks, this can tilt away from the vehicle with both bikes still attached. To do that, it's a little different. We have this foot pedal at the front, so while holding onto the bike rack you just push down and let it come towards you. That's a lot easier than most bike racks where you would have to reach through both of them to get to either a handle or a pin that you have to pull out. With that done, we have full hatch access to get what we need, and there's plenty of space in between the handlebars and the hatch itself where that clearance won't be an issue. more
