Review of a Pro Series Eclipse 4 Hitch Bike Rack on a 2011 Honda Odyssey


All right, today on 2011 Honda Odyssey were going to do a test fit with part number 63124 from tow ready this is 4 bike hitch mounted carrier. All right first thing were going to need to do is go ahead and install the bike rack into the hitch bolted down with an anti rear bolt and put the clip on the other side. All right now were going to go ahead and give you some measurements on the bike of the rack to give you an idea of clearance between the bike rack and the bumper and the bike rack and the ground. As closest point to the bumper were looking at one and a half inches. The ground clearance will be nine quarter inches. All right, lets go ahead and tilt the bicycle rack back and check for access to the back of the van.

All right that's looks good lets go ahead and load the bike. First off well go ahead and undo the straps and make sure theyre are out of the way and the clearance that were going to need to be using. Very simple lets go ahead and set the bike on the cradle, bounce out, rerun the straps over the top tube and then sets on down type. Okay just few seconds our bike is already loaded up and ready to go with the test fit of a part number 63124 from tow ready on our 2011 Honda Odyssey.
