Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2016 Ford Escape- Video

Yakima  Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2016 Ford Escape

Today on this 2016 Ford Escape, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack, part number Y02633. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. How the bike is actually attached to the rack, we're going to have 3 points of contact with the bike's frame. We're going to have 2 ZipStrips up at the top here and 1 off to the side, and that's going to serve as an anti-sway strap to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth, possibly hitting the bike rack or the bikes in front of it. It also has an integrated cable lock here at the end. You'll wrap it around the bike in the front and attach it to this point here, and that's for a little bit of added security. Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside. more
