Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Bike Rack Review - 2018 Ford Explorer- Video

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Bike Rack Review - 2018 Ford Explorer

Hi Matt with etrailer. and today we're gonna be talking about the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE bike rack on the 2018 Ford Explorer. Now this is gonna be one of our more heavy duty platform bike racks. It's gonna have the potential to hold up the two bikes up the 80 pounds per bike so that's gonna be able to accommodate your e-bikes. And what's also great about that is 80 pounds is a lot of weight, so compared to other e-bike carriers it's gonna outperform most of them. Since it is able to accommodate 80 pounds per bike, it's also gonna be a little bit more difficult to maneuver around but it's also gonna have three tie-down points, two in the tires, and then one on our main frame. more

Adam: Hi everyone, Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Saris All Star 2 platform style rack on our 2016 Ford Explorer. This is going to be able to hold up to two bikes and it has three different tie down points per bike. You have these wheel cradles that are adjustable up and down this rail right here and it's a zip tie style strap, and then you also have an adjustable frame hook. On top of that you have this nice little adjustable cable just for added protection.Let me just go ahead and show you guys how to take your bikes off the rack. You can start by undoing this little strap, and I do suggest leaving the hook for last as it does hold that bike upright, you wouldn't want it to hit your car or yourself. more

This is going to be able to hold up to two electric bikes at the same time and one of the main features I want to show you today is its ability to tilt away with the bikes installed.You're going to start by undoing this pin and clip and then pulling this little pressure knob on the other end and that's going to allow you to access anything that's in the back of your Explorer without having any clearance issues. It does get somewhat close, but not close enough that you need to worry. You go in there and grab your book bag, backpack, even a lunch or two, whatever you really need on your ride. more

Today we have a 2015 Ford Explorer, and I'm going to show you how the NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack is going to work with your car.This bike rack is going to get your four bikes to and from the trails in a safe manner. If you only have two bikes, we do have it available in just the two bike rack. Here we have it with the two-bike extension on it. Right here in the middle you'll see the joint. You can see with our bike loaded you're not going to be able to have very much space to be able to open up your rear hatch to get rear hatch access, but Kuats solved that by putting a tilting feature. more

Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack Review - 2015 Ford Explorer

Jake: This is Jake here with eTrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Apex XT 4 hanging style bike rack on our 2015 Ford Explorer.This is going to be a great choice to get your four bikes to and from the trails, whether you're with friends or family.It's got a mount by the top tube and one on the down tube of your bike to keep it from swaying too much.So for your piece of mind, when you're out on the trails, or you stop into a store to grab some quick groceries, you're going to be able to lock up your bikes with the integrated cable lock that's going to store in the upright post of your bike rack and lock into the end of the two outer posts, to be able to lock up your bikes so that you don't have to worry about them.Here are our cradles. You can see it has a nice soft, rubber composite material so that it's not going to damage your top tube and your bike's not going to move around too much while in transit.It's also going to have these nice grooves in it to be able to accommodate for your brake lines.Now we can go ahead and remove our bike. Just push down on that tab, pull up on the strap. Now you'll notice on the inside of the strap, it is going to have two rubber strips to help, again, with not damaging your top tube when your bike is strapped in.Now anytime you have a multi-bike rack, it's going to be a little difficult, but this one does give you enough room to get that bike off. Once your bike is removed, I always like to replace my straps so they're not flopping around. more
