Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2017 GMC Acadia- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 GMC Acadia, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack for Trunk Mounts, part number Y02637.We already have a bike installed on the rack, let's go ahead and take a closer look here. Starting with the arms, the cradles are moveable, back and forth and side to side as needed, to help out with the installation. It does have an anti-sway cradle that folds out, like so, but also folds inward. It's going to make loading the bikes much easier.How it holds the bikes in place, it's going to have the two rubber straps up at the top here, as well as one off to the side, and that's going to serve as an anti-sway cradle to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth and causing bike to bike contact, or bike to vehicle contact.It does come with the wheel strap, as you see up front here, to ensure that the front tire here, or wheel, doesn't make contact with the actual vehicle itself. And once both bikes are installed, there's a much longer strap that goes around both bikes frames, as well as the bike rack itself, and that's going to help keep everything nice and compressed while you're traveling, to keep it from shifting back and forth as well.Let's go ahead and take the bike off. Start by removing the straps here, and you can see how that unloading is much easier.With it in this position, I'd like to give you a couple quick measurements here. more

Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2017 GMC Acadia Y02636- Video
Speaker 1: Today in our 2017 GMC Acadia, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima half-back two bike rack for trunk mounts, part number Y02636. We already have a bike installed on our rack, so let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. We're going to start on the outside and work our way in, starting with the ends of our arms here. You're going to see that we have two bottle openers here, and this is going to be slightly different from the full-back in this situation. While this has two bottle openers, the full-back's going to have the added integrated cable lock to keep your bike safe. Not to say that this bike rack is inferior in any way, this is one that has less bells and whistles than the full-back.Moving on to the cradles, they are stationary, meaning they don't move back and forth, but they do have this TPE padding here at the base, and that's going to help protect the frame of your bike by acting as a shock absorber while you're traveling, so if you hit those bumps, it's going to make sure nothing gets damaged or scratched up. more
