Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Buick Envision- Video
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 platform-style bike rack here on our 2017 Buick Envision. Now, this style of bike rack is gonna hold the bike by the front wheel right here. Now, that means it's going to be good for our carbon frame bikes, our alternative frame bikes, and it does have a 40-pound weight capacity, so not quite good for our e-bikes. If you're maybe wanting that higher weight capacity, I'd recommend checking out the RockyMounts MonoRail. It's gonna hold the bike pretty much the exact same way and give you that higher 60-pound capacity that you might be looking for. more

RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Buick Envision- Video
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna be taking a look at the RockyMounts GuideRail platform-style bike rack here on our 2017 Buick Envision. Now, this rack is going to hold the bike in these trays and by the tires. That's gonna mean zero frame contact, making it good for our carbon frame bikes, our alternative frame bikes without that bike adapter bar, and even our e-bikes with a 60-pound weight capacity per bike. Just make sure you have those bike batteries removed. And it's going to hold the bike really well. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Buick Envision- Video
Hi, everyone! Aiden here with "etrailer.com," and today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination E-bike Rack here on our 2017 Buick Envision. Now, this is one of my favorite e-bike racks because it's really easy to use and it's gonna hold the bike really well. You can see we've got three-wheel straps on the bottom and the primary clamp up top around the frame. That's gonna be tightened down with this lockable hand knob and keep everything nice and still because it's making frame contact, we are gonna want to avoid our carbon frame bikes but this will work well for our alternative frame, excuse me, because that clamp can rotate and move around and with a 70-pound weight capacity per bike, it's gonna be good for our even heavier e-bikes than the typical 60-pound capacity. Now, what makes this rack for me stand out is the tilting. You just have this hand knob down here towards the bottom of the rack, just stand here between the rack and the car and once that is loosened, we can just push the whole rack away down of almost a full 90 degrees and it's really easy to do. more

Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Buick Envision- Video
Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. today on our 2020 Buick Envision, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima BackRoad hitch mounted bike rack. The rack that we have here today can carry up to a total of two bikes. But if you need to carry more, there's also a four bike version available as well. One thing I really like about this rack is that it's going to sit up a little bit higher and that works really well with the Envision because these particularly don't have a ton of ground clearance. And since the racks, it's up higher, it's going to keep our bike further off the ground out of danger, but it's not going to set up so high either that it's really going to block or obstruct our view whenever we're looking out of our mirror. more

We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look and show off some of the features.One thing that separates this from the previous versions of the Sport Rider is the fact of how it can tilt away from the vehicle as opposed to having several pins that you'll have to remove, we just have the one here at the front. Loosen that up, lift up slightly, and you pull the pin here to release it, letting it come down towards you until it's fully tilted away. Now, this can work with all four bikes still attached although it can be a little bit difficult to get to that front pin, so you may need an extra set of hands just to hold onto the bike rack while you do this.We can open up our rear hatch and it is going to be a little bit tight, and you can see between the hatch and the handlebars here, from the center out, we're measuring about nine inches, from here to here, so if you have longer handlebars you may have an issue of clearance with your hatch. more
