This here is the Swagman XC2 Platform Style bike rack that we installed on our 2024 Subaru Outback.

Now, if you have a regular bike without a carbon frame, this is great still because this is padded, and it holds your bike securely. more

Saris MHS 2 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon

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

Now it's a platform-style rack that holds the bike by the tires. We've got two wheel hoops, one on either end, and that's giving a good, strong hold on the bike. We've got some secondary points of contact, but those are the main ones, and that's gonna mean zero frame contact, making it good for carbon frame and alternative frame. Those secondary points of contact include this strap down here at the bottom holding our back wheel down, as well as this little wheel block up front that's just limiting the movement of that front tire. more

And while at first it may look like you can mount your bike in on either side, there is actually a ratcheting system for your back strapped wheel as well as a wheel chock for your front wheel just to help it sit in there better. Now, one of the big advantages of this rack is that does come with a tilt away feature. So we just go ahead and pull the lever here at the bottom allows us to tilt our bike rack away from our vehicle, allowing us access into the truck. And there's enough clearance between the pedal and our trunk that I'm not really worried about it but this would allow me to grab my helmet, my shoes or either put them up when I'm done for the day. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hey everybody, how is it going Today, we're gonna be going over the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack here on a 2017 Subaru Outback. So the Destination is an excellent entry-level bike rack option for you and a friend because we can carry up to two bikes. Now, there's two different classifications of bike racks. We have the platform style, which is what this is here and we also have the hanging style. So with the platform style, generally speaking, you can carry a little bit of a heavier bike and they're much easier to load your bikes onto than the hanging style rack because you have to lift them much higher. Now, on the contrary hanging style bike racks usually don't accommodate those heavy bikes. more

Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Platform Rack with Ramp Review - 2021 Subaru Forester

Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at our Yakima OnRamp two-bike platform rack right here on our 2021 Subaru Forester. So the Yakima OnRamp is ideal for if you have extra-heavy electric bikes, and you don't like lifting them up onto your bike rack. That's a bit of an issue for me because we do have heavy bikes here at etrailer, and the height from the ground to where our hitch is on the Subaru Forester can make it an issue to lift it up on there. But also, even your normal bikes are perfectly fine up here on this OnRamp. more

Curt Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over the Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack here on our 2019 Subaru Outback. So this is gonna be a great option for you and the family because it allows us to carry up to four bikes. And furthermore, you can kinda notice how our arms sorta taper in at the end here, and the reason for that is a lot of kids bikes don't quite have the frame linked to some of the adults bikes have, like you can see here. Therefore, we're not always able to fit them on the cradles, because they're just spaced too far apart, which is why we have a much narrower spread here that's gonna work great with both adult bikes as well as the kids bikes with the shorter frame. So there's two main types of bike racks out there. We have the platform style and the hanging style which is what we see here. more

So the Hitching Post Pro is gonna be an excellent economical bike rack for you and the family, as it can carry up to four bikes. Now, the Hitching Post Pro is what's known as a hanging style bike rack, meaning we're gonna be carrying the bikes by the top tube here, compared to a platform style bike rack. Now just a quick, simple comparison between hanging and platform style bike racks: hanging style bike racks are typically a little bit lighter, whereas platform bike racks, a little bit more bulky, and they're heavier to move. Platform, however, allow you to carry heavier bikes, whereas the hanging style, which we have here, is usually limited to about 35lbs. more
