Kuat Piston SR Roof 1 Bike Rack Review - 2019 Nissan Sentra- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at how the Kuat Piston SR Roof Mounted Bike Rack fits on the 2019 Nissan Sentra. If you wanna carry your bikes with your Nissan Sentra, I know your options are kind of limited. I highly recommend, if you can, getting a hitch receiver than getting a hitch-mounted biker rack but that can't always be the case for you. In that case, you may want either a trunk mounted bike rack, or a roof mounted bike rack. Trunk mounts, you lose access to your trunk. Roof mounts, it's a lot easier to use, it's more streamlined and you can leave it on your car. more

Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack Review - 2019 Nissan Sentra- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at how the Yakima HighSpeed Roof Mounted Bike Rack fits on the 2019 Nissan Sentra. So for your Nissan Sentra, if you wanna carry your own bikes, your options are limited, especially if you don't have a hitch receiver. You can get your trunk mounted bike rack, but then you lose access to your trunk and you have to deal with straps and clamps and things like that. If possible, and if you have a roof rack system, then I highly recommend getting a roof mounted bike rack as an option. Here, you have two different options, you can get like a wheel mounted bike rack or a fork mounted bike rack. So this has a 40 pound weight capacity, although you are gonna have to consider if you wanna lift a 40 pound bike up onto your roof. more

Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack Review - 2019 Nissan Sentra- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at how the Yakima HighRoad Roof Mounted Bike Rack fits on the 2019 Nissan Sentra. So for your Nissan Sentra, if you want to also go riding, you have limited options for getting a bike onto your car. Now, you can get a hitch receiver and then use hitch mounted bike racks, I highly recommend that option, but if you don't have a hitch, you're then stuck to either a trunk mounted bike rack or a roof mounted bike rack. In that case, I do recommend getting a roof mounted bike rack just because it's not that big of a hassle and it's safe and secure up top. So for roof mounted bike racks, there's usually two options, one is gonna be a fork mounted where you have to take your front wheel off, the other is wheel mount where you can keep your bike as is, just pop it on there. So this has a very interesting way of holding onto your bike, you have that front hold up there, then, you make your adjustments with this back one. more

Zach: Hey, everybody, Zach here at etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the Inno Tire Hold II on our 2020 Nissan Kicks.

Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2019 Nissan Armada- Video
Adam: Hi guys, Adam from etrailer.com. Today I'm going to be doing a test fit on the Thule ThruRide Bike Roof Rack System on our 2019 Nissan Armada. What this is going to do, it's going to allow you to mount your bike to the roof opposed to having a hitch mounted bike rack and also have plenty of space to mount any other cargo that you might be carrying, a roof rack basket or any sort of kayak carrier. You can even slap a couple more of these on there to get multiple bikes on top of your vehicle.This does have two different tie down points for your bike. First you're going to have your front fork faceted into this rack. Then on top of that you have a little wheel cradle back here with a little zip tie style strap with a little bit of rubber boot to protect your wheel from any damage or anything like that.This is going to be able to basically accommodate for any type of roof rack system you have. more

It's about 58 inches long, about 41 inches wide, and about 5 and a half inches deep. So not only is it going to carry our two bikes, but we're going to have more than enough room to carry gear. Things like helmets, gloves, shoes, camping gear, or really any other type of gear that we may have with us.How it works is your bike's fork rests on the through axle adapter. more

Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2018 Nissan Frontier- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Nissan Frontier we're going to be test fitting the Thule Circuit XT Rooftop Bike Rack, part number TH526XT.We already have a bike installed on our rack, let's take a closer look and show off some of the features. How this bike attaches to the rack we're not going to have any frame contact at all. Instead, it's going to grip it by two points. We'll have this rear wheel strap, which is adjustable to length of the bike rack to accommodate for bikes of different sizes, and then up at the front we'll have this skewer mount, which grips your bike by its fork mounts up here. The skewer mount is lockable, and once you install a Thule lock cord to lock it into place and secure it to your bike rack, it actually secures not only the bike, but the bike rack itself to the roof rack. It just goes slightly past the cab of your truck, so it's not going to interfere with much of anything as far as anything you may store in the bed of your truck.Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside. more
