Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Honda Fit- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're looking at the Swagman XC2 Platform-style Bike Rack, on a 2018 Honda Fit. Platform-style bike rack is great for a smaller car like this. Sometimes on your hanging rack, you're gonna see the tires stick out wider than the vehicle, so that air is gonna kind of act as a sail on it. So having the platform-style really gives you that sense of security, keeps you from having to look in your rear view mirror to make sure that your bike's still attached safely. This is a frame mount style bike rack, and as you can see, it's got a nice rubberized coating on the frame. So it's not exactly one you wanna use on a carbon fiber frame, because it might cause distortion, but pretty much for any other style of frame, this is gonna work well, and you're gonna be able to adjust that as necessary. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Honda Fit- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're going to take a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination Platform Bike Rack for two bikes on a 2018 Honda Fit. This platform-style bike rack is frame mounted, so you can see here, it attaches to the frame. And that's been done by this little pad here, which has a nice rubber pad, which is gonna prevent your frame from being scratched. And that's something when you have your bike attached, you always wonder as it's moving around that hopefully it's not scuffing that paint stickers or whatever it may be, and this is gonna help prevent that. Something else that's really nice is your ability to rotate this 360 degrees. more
