Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Pontiac Trans Sport VanThe Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rake for 2 bikes is a good product. I used it to transport my mountain e-bike. I choose this particular unit because it can handle the weight 2 of bikes (non-e-bikes) and the weight of my e-bike is equivalent to weight of 2 bikes. Note: Must readjust the straps after mounting the bike to the rake.
great! works really well, and a lot easier to attach than I anticipated. We drove with bikes across the country from south west all the way to North east. solid rack!

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?
Very stable and simple to use bike rack that works great with my road bike AND with my 29" Big Rippers. It makes loading and unloading the bikes a snap and they are safe and secure for traveling once loaded and secured. I have already logged over a thousand miles hauling bicycles with this rack and highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Yakima roof racks but, honestly, wish I would have went with this setup for my bikes from the beginning.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This is a well designed rack. Adding and removing bikes is quick & easy. Just set the bike on & slide the padded hook down onto the bike frame to secure it; no straps required. If only one bike is transported, it does not interfere with opening the trunk on our Tesla Model 3. With 2 bicycles the trunk cannot be opened. For 2 bikes the Swagman model that can tilt might be worth the extra 22 bucks. This rack uses a bolt in the receiver hitch instead of a pin. This locks it securely preventing it from moving in the hitch & rattling. It also requires a wrench to remove it, good for theft prevention but one more thing to keep track of. For storage on the vehicle the top bar folds down. For storage in the garage, the left & right bars fold up & you can hang it using one of the hooks.
So far so good. The rack wiggles a bit, but that is expected. I have it on my 2007 Corolla and I have hit 65+ on the highway with it and have not had a problem. I would recommend getting a locking pin. The one included is threaded, which aside from security, makes it harder to take the rack on and off. I would also look into a DIY way to secure the wheels better. I am using some bungee straps which do the job no problem. The two bikes I carry are at the racks capacity.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Great product for the price. Pretty easy to set up. Only issue I have is my mountain bike, which is an XL frame with 27 inch wheels, is pushing the limits of the base. Wish this rack was just 4-5 inches longer that way you have the perfect overlap amount in the middle without pushing the current frame to the limits. With that said it does hold my bike just have to find the sweet spot. But this fits my son’s youth bike perfectly!
As always with products I buy from e-Trailer, this item is exactly as advertised and works perfectly. Easy assembly, I bought 2 but only installed one until I check the fit with my rooftop carrier.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Way too light duty for what is advertised. It seemed to be made out of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. I would never put three bikes on that rack. I only had two bikes on the rack. While on trip through Idaho the wind was so strong that one of the bikes partially blew off the rack. We traveled 1,800 miles and upon arriving home I actually sawed the bike rack up and threw it away so that no one else would use it and cause an accident. I've already found a different brand that is HEAVY DUTY and I will stick with that brand.
This is definitely more of a 2 bike carrier vs 3 bikes. I had to take the front wheels off two bikes to get three bikes on this carrier. Also, it rubbed the paint off on the trunk of my Subaru legacy.

Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount
It's a fantastic roof rack, which I use above my truck bed. I recently bought a second one so I can take my road bike and gravel bike with me on my camping trips.
Mounted nicely on my Rhino racks and holds our nikes well. Easy to load and unload.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Works for my fat tire bike. Once it's set up, it's easy to install and remove. I had to cut out some of the plastic cladding on the underside of my bumper on my 2014 Subaru Outback. Good value. I've had no issues.
GI love the Rack, it is easy for me to handle, (as a 89 yearold rider.), two bikes ride and fit very nicely. Like how it folds down,and how it folds to open the tailgate . Great quality for the money, I would highly recommend this rack

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP
For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.
# 9
Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
Good product. However, the one I ordered was supposed to fit the aero cross bars on 2018 Subaru roof racks and it doesn't. In fact the fit is very sloppy and looks unsafe. Sending mine back if they can't find a clamp that fullly contacts all surfaces.
Fits my whispbar crossbars (a lot cheaper than the whispbar-specific rack) and is pretty simple and straightforward to use. I've owned a couple of other universal sort of racks (fit lots of bikes, fit lots of crossbars) and this one is a good one both in terms of simple initial installation on your vehicle and also simple loading/unloading of bike.

Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gunmetal Gray
Fantastic bike rack. Switch it between a Honda Ridgeline and a Subaru Outback Wilderness and it works perfectly. Accidentally lost the locking pin that secures the rack to the trailer hitch and when I inquired with Kurt about ordering a replacement lock keyed to match the locking cables on the rack and the Kuat rep sent one to me for free. (I removed the rack and left the lock sitting on my car bumper. Later that day I drove off and lost the lock on the highway).
Great bike rack. It is easy to install the hitch on a vehicle and to remove it. The Kuat NV 2.0 provides a smooth, gentle ride for road bikes and mountain bikes. Great purchase. Highly recommend.

Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
Our roof rack rails have a slight curve. I was a challenge to get the bike to mount vertically. On the curve it naturally sits leaned at an angle.
Excellent budget rooftop bike carrier.

RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
Good mount over-all. Item was delivered without the packing straps. Not sure if the package was opened prior to shipping. There were no missing parts. The mount seems to function normally. I do have one complaint - the mount is not level when attached to my Ridgeline 2" hitch. My hitch is in perfect condition - unused prior to the purchase of this mount. The mounting bolt for the hitch is fully tight, but still the mount is crooked to right by 1 inch. Oh well - not a deal breaker.
We have two e-bikes and researched for a rack substantial enough to carry them long distances. The RockyMounts Monorail is doing the trick. We remove the batteries and seats. Based on other's advice, we put pieces of foam pipe insulation over the straps and braces that contact the bikes. Also, just for overkill, put additional cinch straps over the front tire rim at the wheel support. I also fabricated a license plate holder because the plate is obstructed on the SUV. The quality of construction and ease of assembly are both outstanding.
Benton Shifts&Grins 2 Bike Rack Test Fit - 2025 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi there, Jesse here with etrailer. Today we'll be taking a look at the Benton Shifts and Grins two-bike bike rack and how it fits on our 2025 Subaru Outback. What really sets this rack apart from other similar racks is it folds up into this nice storage position, so it's really good if you have to store it in maybe your garage or apartment. It's not gonna take up quite as much space as other similar options. And when you are ready to get it installed onto your vehicle, it's just a matter of pushing the button in, and then it folds pretty easily. And then we can just lift it up, slide it into your hitch, and you can also see we have a stop collar here.
A Closer Look at the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 Base, and we're gonna see how it fits on the back of our 2024 Subaru Outback. The NV Base is one of my personal favorite bike racks, and I think if you're considering getting a really great value rack that's starting to reach into that premium category for your Outback, the NV Base is absolutely the way to go. It's gonna give you a 60-pound weight capacity per bike, so it's a great option for some of those E-bikes. And because it holds the bike by our front tire and not by the frame, carbon frame and alternative frame bikes, are gonna be just fine too. This is also just one of the best-built racks I think we have down here in the shop, and we've had it down here for a long time, and it's just held up to the elements really well.
A Closer Look at the RockyMounts Gigawatt Bike Rack on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. If you own a 2024 Subaru Outback, but you've also got some really heavy E-bikes that you sometimes have trouble transporting and you need a bike rack that's gonna work for you and make it easier to load those bikes, then the Rocky Mounts GigaWatt I think is gonna be a really great solution for you. The GigaWatt comes with an included loading ramp and it's really long too, so it's gonna make it very easy to ramp the bikes up and down. We'll see that in just a little bit. You're also gonna get an 80 pound weight capacity per bike, which is pretty much as heavy as it gets for a two bike rack like you see here.
Test Fitting the Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon

Test Fitting the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hey, everyone, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon, we're gonna be checking out the Swagman XTC2 tilting platform-style bike rack. So my first impressions of the rack on the back of the Subaru, I think it's a good fit. You know, it doesn't take up a whole lot of space, and this is a really good economical way to be able to carry around a couple of bikes, you know And probably one of my favorite parts about this setup is the fact that this rack can tilt even when you have your bikes loaded up, right And that's not uncommon by any means, but it's something you don't really see a lot on more affordable type bike racks like our Swagman here. And so what that'll allow you to do when you have your stuff loaded, this'll fold down out of the way. So there's just a little pin and clip mechanism down here.
Test Fitting the Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Benton two-bike platform rack, otherwise called the Shifts&Grins. We're taking a look at how it fits here on our 2024 Subaru Outback wagon. This bike rack is gonna be a great way to carry your slightly heavier bikes, but it really shines when you use the two-bike add-on with this to create a four-bike platform rack. We're gonna focus here on our Subaru today to see how it all works together. Right off the bat, you are gonna need a two-inch hitch receiver in order to carry this rack, but once you get that going, everything else works great.
Set up: Inno Tire Hold HD Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
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. The tire hold HD is a heavy duty bike carrier that's gonna work for your heavier e-bikes up to 80 pounds each, and for any of your specialty bikes like carbon fiber frames, unconventional step-through bikes, or something that has a fancy paint job where you wanna have no contact to the frame. 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.
DIY Install: Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes on your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon

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.

Install: Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hi, everybody. Cooper here from etrailer and today we're going to be taking a look at our Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack on our 2023 Subaru Outback. Our bike rack is a two platform style bike rack and it is going to have that frame contact. That's actually what's keeping it on our bike here and then additional straps here down on the wheels keeping it into place. While our center mast touching our frame means that carbon bikes aren't gonna be available for this, as well as the bikes individually of being rated for 35 pounds each. Making e-bikes out for this too as well.
How to Install the RockyMounts GuideRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
Hey, everybody. Cooper here from etrailer, and today we're gonna be taking a look at our RockyMount GuideRail on our 2023 Subaru Outback. Our bike rack's going to be a platform style bike rack, individually weighted for 60 pounds each per bike, and as you'll be able to notice too, is a frameless contact support, so it's going to be really great for those carbon frame bikes, alternative frame bikes, as well as our e-bikes, too. 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. Now, in order to get our bike rack back up, we just actually go ahead and grab it and lift up until we hear that clip noise.
What our customers are saying:
"I ordered a trailer hitch and a bike rack carrier the order was shipped with in three days. To put the hitch on only took about 30 mins. only had to drill two 1/2 holes. fit like a glove."
