How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Inno Tire Hold HD on our 2024 Subaru Outback wagon.

Let's take a look at the tilt feature that's included on our bike carrier, and see what type of access it allows us to our hatch area. And I'm just gonna, yeah, so I'd just give it a little bit 'cause we come kind of close with our handlebars, but overall it would, you still have really great access to the back of your vehicle, so that is something to consider as well. So we're gonna take our bike off of the carrier, and take a closer look at some of the features. Press the gray button to release the tension on our wheel loop. more

Swagman XC2 2 Bike Rack Review - 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi. John with etrailer. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have a nice, dependable, lightweight bike rack. This here is the Swagman XC2 Platform Style bike rack that we installed on our 2024 Subaru Outback. So right off the bat, I do wanna let you know that if you have a carbon frame bike, this isn't gonna be the bike rack for you because even though it's a platform style, we're still making frame contact right here. Now, if you have a regular bike without a carbon frame, this is great still because this is padded, and it holds your bike securely. more

Saris MHS 2 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon

What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com, today we're gonna be checking out the Saris MHS platform system on our 2022 Subaru Outback wagon. This is gonna be a platform style bike rack, holds the bike by the tires, which really opens it up to a bunch of different style bikes, let's check it out. The different style of bikes this can carry are kind of unlimited because you don't have to hold it by the frame, so then even carbon fiber bikes can go on here where we usually don't recommend those on the hanging style because that could damage the frame but, holding 'em by the tires makes it far easier. Not only that, there's not gonna be a center mast here that's in the way on some other platform style bike racks, so it's gonna help with loading and unloading, and we'll get to that in a little bit but, just kinda want to point out some quick positives about it. Another thing, is it can tilt away with the bike fully loaded, so let's go ahead and do that, that way if you forget something in the back of your Outback or you wanna throw something in there and you got everything loaded, you don't have to take everything off just to get to the back of that so, we'll just pull on this lever down here, and the whole thing tilts down to about there. It's even got a stopper, just in case the hitch is a little bit lower, it would stop before it goes fully to the ground, which is nice because some of those bike racks that do tilt, if it is low you have to move your hand away from that handle before it touches the ground, this one's got a stopper. more

Now it's a platform-style rack that holds the bike by the tires. We've got two wheel hoops, one on either end, and that's giving a good, strong hold on the bike. We've got some secondary points of contact, but those are the main ones, and that's gonna mean zero frame contact, making it good for carbon frame and alternative frame. Those secondary points of contact include this strap down here at the bottom holding our back wheel down, as well as this little wheel block up front that's just limiting the movement of that front tire. more

Hey everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Saris MHS on our 2023 Subaru Outback. And while at first it may look like you can mount your bike in on either side, there is actually a ratcheting system for your back strapped wheel as well as a wheel chock for your front wheel just to help it sit in there better. Now, one of the big advantages of this rack is that does come with a tilt away feature. So we just go ahead and pull the lever here at the bottom allows us to tilt our bike rack away from our vehicle, allowing us access into the truck. And there's enough clearance between the pedal and our trunk that I'm not really worried about it but this would allow me to grab my helmet, my shoes or either put them up when I'm done for the day. more

Now obviously, with our bikes loaded, we're not gonna have access into our trunk, so if we actually pull this lever down here, it's going to allow us to tilt our bike away from our vehicle, allowing us pull access into our trunk. Now, whether we have our water, our helmet, our shoes back here, this allows me a lot more space in to just be able to grab my items, whatever I need before I start, or at the end of our journey.

Hi everyone, Aidan here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Swagman XTC2 TILT on our 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon. It's a platform style bike rack that holds the bike in these cradles, in these wheel hoops rather and by the frame here. Frame contact it's gonna mean we wanna avoid carbon frame bikes and we'll probably need a bike adapter bar with alternative frame bikes but otherwise it's gonna get a good strong hold on the bike and hold it really well. It's got a 35-pound weight capacity per bike, so as long as you're within those limits, you should be all good. Now I really like this one as an entry level platform rack. more

Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination E two-bike platform rack and how it fits on the 2018 Subaru Outback. So this is one of my favorite bike racks for electric bikes. It does have, or require a little bit more work and a little bit more time to get your bikes on there and to use the rack, but it makes up for it with the great weight capacity, the almost-90-degree tilt and the included ramp. So we'll talk about those features, just enough to talk about the Subaru Outback. If you want more specs and measurements, don't forget to check out the full review.

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hey everybody, how's it going, Today we're gonna be going over the Swagman Chinook two bike rack here on our 2022 Subaru Outback. So there's two main types of bike racks. We have the hanging style and we have the platform style. So these are both great, each in their own respective. Now the hanging style racks are typically a little bit lighter so they're easier to get on and off the vehicle and they're typically more cost effective. Whereas the platform bike racks where these really shine is they're gonna be much easier to load your bikes onto because you only have to lift them up a few feet in the air, whereas opposed to the hanging style racks you have to lift them up and over those arms, and sort of steady it all the way back onto the cradle. more
