Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2017 Hyundai Elantra- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Hyundai Elantra we're going to be doing a test fit on the Hollywood Rack's Express Three Bike Carrier, part number HRE3.Now this is a very economical bike rack and what I mean by that is that if you're just looking for a bike rack to get you from point A to point B with your bikes this is going to be great for you. However, if you're more of an avid cyclist, I would suggest maybe doing a little bit more research and trying to find a bike rack with a little bit more bells and whistles.Let's go into the bike rack itself, we see we have cradles that can pivot left and right, and that can also move up and down the rack to accommodate any spacing between bikes you might want. We have two different points of contact where our bike is secured. We have these nice rubber straps that are securing the top frame of our bike into the cradles. I do want to point out because we don't have any type of anti-sway or anti-rattle cradle in place, our bike can move freely when we're driving and with it sitting pretty close to the vehicle, so you do want to be aware that it could make contact like this pedal right here is pretty close to our license plate, and we also have our front wheel up here that's pretty close to making contact. However, to fix this problem you could purchase a wheel shock separately at etrailer.com and just secure the front wheel to that.Let's go ahead and remove the bike. more
