Best 2006 Honda Civic Bike Racks

Good product that folds when not in use, but I don't like the side and bottom straps. They are not separate straps and they use a much poorer design compared to the top 2 straps to tighten them down. Top 2 straps use a simple unlock with thumb, pull to tighten, then release thumb and automatically locks straps in place. Side and bottom straps are a loop through design and require you to pull and tug on the other end to tighten. Also top straps when using the clamps on the trunk pulls it too far up causing about a finger gap. So I re-read the instructions and choose to re-route the strap through the clamp to go under the trunk like a support. That prevents my trunk from excessive gap. I had already contacted etrailer for a return but found out the return shipping alone was almost the cost of the product so I decided to keep it and use it for the time being. So either get a different design trunk rack, or just go with a hitch. Its better that way. I just swapped mines out for a hitch considering the price of the hitch is similar and more sturdy.

This is an awesome bike carrier-fit my 2010 Honda Civic just great! I am totally sold on Thule bike carriers-I had one on my 1997 Civic, so I knew I was getting a high quality product. Very easy to use and set up. Thanks for the recommendation, quick shipping, and great value!!

The product quality is really impressive and seems very solid. The installation of the bicycles is really simple. We will see on the road for the rest but I'm really confortable with it's strenght. Thank you!!!

I bought a hitch receiver, bike rack, and an anti-rattle hitch lock from eTrailer. They arrived on time and were exactly as advertised. I watched their video on mounting the hitch receiver and it installed easily. I highly recommend the anti-rattle hitch lock.

One of the oval frames for the bike wheel did bend from an accident, but all things considered, the rack is a great value for the price, and my bikes are safe!

We really enjoy the bike rack; it is so much more stable than the one I had previously. I am much more comfortable driving with this bike rack because I feel much safer; I know the bikes will stay in place until my destination. I would encourage anybody to buy this product.

Good bike carrier, sturdy and quite heavy. Mounted on my 2006 Honda Civic, there was plenty of room to open the trunk even with the carrier holding bikes in the normal position.

Ordered the Draw-Tite 24763 for my 2015 Honda Civic Sedan, and was very satisfied at the speed and detail of not only the correspondence and email between etrailer.com but also the shipping speed and condition of packaging. I received this in six days from start to finish of order. I did not spring for faster shipping and was satisfied with this type of time frame considering the size and weight of packaging. I also got the Thule Hitching Post TH934XTR four bike rack and THSTL2 hitch lock anti-rattle device. I had planned ahead by watching all of the great videos on etrailer and printed out some instructions from the site. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised with their attention to detail that this was unnecessary as they included a copy of the same instructions I printed in the box. The install went exactly like the instructions/videos said it would and if I hadn't been interested in getting the beauty plastic underbody piece back on I could have been done in fifteen minutes with a lift and another set of hands. All in all a very easy kit to install, and thanks to etrailer for the speed, quality, and including all the necessary hardware and instructions. 5/5 would definitely do business with again and recommend.

Bike rack works looks great. It's solid and sturdy. Now I can relax and drive knowing my bike is secured.

Good solid bike rack. The anti wobble screw really helps stiffen up the rack. Great product

This carrier is easy to install and feels sturdy once strapped down. It can also be folded to take up less space when no bikes are on it.

Great quality bike mount!

Arrived super fast & took only minutes to install. It works great on our Honda Civic Hatchback Sturdy enough to support two large treks. Saris came recommended by a local bike dealer - looking for a good price and quality bike adjustable bike rack.? Look no further. Can’t wait to hit the open road this summer.

This rack works great. It holds my bikes well. This one is hard to beat for the price.

The rack instruction were fairly simple, the pictures helped a lot. It took 2 try's to get everything lined up so the bike would fit. At first I had the front of the tire tray and the front of the rack lined up and my bike didn't fit, so after taking it all apart and moving everything forward everything lined up nice. It does say that it fits tires up to 3" I'm running 2.5" tires and it dosent fit in the tray completely. That's really my only complaint!

Planning on bringing bikes while camping. I mounted 2 of the Swagman bike racks to my new Sportrack on my pop-up camper. The bikes fit perfectly. The racks seem sturdy enough. Not heavy duty, but for my needs they should be fine. Assembly was relatively fast and easy.

fits my 2018 civic hatch great, very solid. The rhino rack bike carrier is very solid and i love that it comes with all the locks unlike my thule one.

My bike has fallen off many times and dented my car

This was perfect for my Honda Civic. Easy on and off and always held my bike secure.

Great product! Fits perfectly on our Honda Civic sport hatchback. Very solid!

I was looking for a light weight bike rack for my 2015 Honda Accord. Your videos stated that the Kuat Beta was light and easy to install. You were right. I opened the box, read the instructions, and had it installed in about 10 minutes. I don't use a rack lock. It is so easy to pop on and off the hitch that I keep the rack in my car trunk.

We've been using this bike rack with a 1.25" Draw-Tite receiver hitch (also purchased from etrailer) on a 2012 Prius C for a month with no problems. As shown on the pictures, it fits two bikes very well, even one with a baby carrier. I chose this model based on recommendations from etrailer that it can be easily detached from the car without tools. True to their word, it is very easily detachable from the hitch and folds up nicely to fit in your garage/closet/storage area. Basically, it uses a hand tightened ball bearing mechanism to secure itself into the hitch receiver, and then uses a 3/8" hand locked pin as a safety device. You can install and de-install this rack in just a few minutes. During driving, there is little noticeable vibration from this rack, even on rougher roads or speed bumps. The only downside is that the holes on the receiver hitch do not align perfectly with the holes on the bike rack (see picture). I believe a few other reviewers also noted this issue. There is enough room to fit the safety pin, but not quite enough to fit a 1/2" hitch lock. I called Kuat to ask them about this and the rep told me that not all hitches will line up with this rack. Kuat, coincidentally(?), sells a hitch lock that is also 3/8" (same size as the safety pin) and still fits.

Overall I am happy with these bike carriers. They mount to the racks over the bed of my Tundra TRD Pro. Installation is simple. I think they could be just a bit sturdier because there is just a bit of wobbling when driving on bumpy roads but I'm not too worried about them coming dislodged. Take note that although they come with a cable lock to attach the bike to the carrier, the key is sold separately.

Overall nice product, but I wish the locking cable was longer to weave through both wheels and frame. Since wheels have quick attach skewers theives can easily take your wheels.

One of the few racks that will clear my Jeep's large rear mounted spare tire without using an extender. The other is the Allen which doesn't have the nice features the Swagman Titan has. Tips enough to allow partial opening of Jeep rear door, but enough to open the soft top rear window. The vertical portion of rack tips slightly toward vehicle (at least it does on mine). Would be better if the horizontal "S" shaped piece could be turned around to dip down, moving it further from the spare tire, but there are only holes drilled to mount it as shown. Can't attest to the durability yet, but it doesn't wobble even a tiny bit. Have to compliment everyone I spoke with at etrailer. very nice and extremely helpful.
