Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Great product, arrived undamaged. Easy to put together. We tried putting 3 adult bikes and 1 kids bike but couldn't make it work so we just threw an adult bike in another truck. If we pulled the pedals and seats off I'm sure it would've worked but we had the truck option and went with that instead. Drove 150 miles with a few bumps along the way and had no issues with anything coming loose. The straps and anti sway features worked great and we used the extra strap included for backup. The only thing I was concerned with was a weird looking weld job right where it connects to the hitch receiver. I included a picture but after 300 miles I guess it's a non issue. Overall great product! Thanks etrailer!
I ordered the hitch and Thule bike rack for my 2013 Honda CRV and I couldn't be happier how fast I received the products and how easy it was to install. I was able to install the hitch to the car in two hours by myself by following the online video instructions. The one change I made was reinstalling my bottom plastic debris protector panel after I installed the hitch. I added slits to where the cutouts were located and reattached to the underbody of the car. Only one plastic locking fastener I could not re-install afterwards due to the interference of the hitch but was secure enough anyway without it. I hesitated in buying a hitch for the CRV because I thought it would be too expensive to buy and to install but etrailer.com changed that misconception for me. The bike rack was very easy to connect to the hitch and was very secure with no swaying on the hitch. Bikes were easy to load although don't expect the bikes to fit as intended by the manufacturer but I made it work.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This is the second time we purchased this bike rack. We are setting up a second car to haul bicycles. We have had the first rack for about three years and it has performed flawlessly. For the money, this is an excellent choice. I suggest that if you purchase this rack, you also purchase the Locking Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin (part #S64029).
We now have about 5 years of experience with two of these racks. The work without issue. I would recommend this rack to anyone. As previously stated, we recommend the Locking Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch pin.
James - 07/26/2019I just got the swagman xtc-2 and I'm very optimistic about this product. It seems to be very well constructed. As for etrailer, I am very pleased with their service and level of communication. I will purchase from this company again.

Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Dual Arms
This bike rack fit my 2004 Honda CR-V perfectly, even though the support crew at Thule said it would not.
Rack seems good and sturdy. Went on to my CR-V fairly easily. My only real complaint is with the printed documentation. It makes numerous references to the "fit guide" but not where or how to find it. After much hunting here's what it seems: The online version of the user manual has the "fit guide" at the end - the printed version sent with the rack does not. But even the material at the end of the online manual is hard to interpret / understand as the notes apply to various types of racks and it's not clear which ones, if any, apply to this one.
The rack is still working well. Maybe too well. It facilitated taking our bikes to a trail that was a little rougher than we were prepared for. My wife fell over & broke her wrist on a sand patch so we havent been using the rack as much lately lol.

Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
The item was shipped within minutes after the order was placed online. (Thanks etrailer.) When the bike carrier arrived and I took it out of the box, admittedly I was a little intimidated by all the straps, etc. But after looking it over and reading the instructions, it was a snap to assemble, mostly because of the large and clear-to-understand images. The Saris Bones 2 bike rack with optional hatch hugger straps fits my 2016 Honda CR-V snugly and exactly as advertised. I'm very satisfied and ready to ride.
Could not be more pleased with it.
hgheiss - 01/15/2017WAS KINDA AWKWARD INSTALLING BIKE RACK. SOMETHING SEEMS OFF. I NEED TO TAKE A DRIVE WITH A BIKE ON THE RACK.IT IS LIGHT WIEGHT.

Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Just installed my new SARUS Bones 3 bicycle carrier on my Honda CRV. I purchased it from www.etrailer.com - - - prompt UPS tracking delivery cross-country. It helped for installation to watch a brief YouTube video first.) All went quick and easy. High quality construction and intuitive design features. The carrier is snug, strong and SWEET looking! My mountain bike fit perfectly. I am ordering two “accessories” . . . wheel straps and a bike beam to properly secure my wife’s soon to be purchased new bike. HAPPY Trails ahead! (:-)
I love it! What an amazingly clever design. It feels solid on my Honda 2008 CRV and looks very smart. The materials are of excellent quality and well made. I feel very confident this happy purchase will carry my grandkids 3 mountain, bikes as designed safely with features easy for use. It was a breeze to attach to my vehicle and not heavy and awkward with my arthritic granny hands. Watching the video for my CRV helped install quickly. Questions with customer service were handled with courteous, friendly, helpful speed. It was a pleasure doing business with this most professional, responsive company. Sorry no photo. Will supply later if you still want?

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This product worked really well for me. I installed it on a 2010 Honda CR-V via a Hidden Hitch trailer hitch. We drove from Chicago to Panama City, FL and back without any problems. It took some time to find the optimal placement of our four bikes, but once I had it set up getting the bikes on and off the rack was fine. At no time did I worry about the safety or stability of my bikes. The combination of the wheel straps and the ratcheting "hook" kept them very secure in the rack. The Swagman XTC4 is very well-built and I really appreciated the included hitch and cable lock. However, being well-built = being heavy. While it is possible to get this attached to your vehicle by yourself, it is _much_ easier doing it with two people.
We ordered online from ETrailer, and it was here that week!! Bike rack was exactly as shown online. Easy to put together and install on back of CRV 14 Honda. We will enjoy having a 4 bike rack that can easily be converted to a 2 bike rack. We will have our two grandsons during the summer months traveling with us, this will allow all of our bikes to travel efficiently. Love the ease of loading and unloading with this particular rack. Looked at other racks that were more expensive, but this one was a great choice!

Rhino-Rack 2 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting
Got this rack yesterday (using it on a 2005 Honda CRV) was concerned because spare tire is on outside of car. Bought a cheaper rack ($40) that did not work on this car. Rino Rack assembled easily, is well made, heavy duty steel, a great design AND it works on this car as shown in your video. Well worth the extra $$$, made me a happy biker. A great product, thanks etrailer.com
The bike rack was easy to install and quite sturdy. We thought it would fold up more, but just the arms fold down, and that works fine. The rack is easy to detach from the hitch. It held both of our bikes firmly. The feature to allow the rack to tip back so that the car hatch can be opened works well and is handy to have. Good product at a reasonable price....

Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
Easy assembly and the rack works very well on my wife's 2007 Honda CRV, although with the bikes on the rack, even tilted downward, there is not enough clearance to fully open the rear hatch - so you need to do a little planning when loading up for a trip. One possible improvement - the rack is steel and pretty heavy. If everything but the 2" bar that couples with the hitch was made of aluminum it might be easier to handle when putting on/taking it off the vehicle.
RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V
Hey everyone, Charles here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the RockyMounts monorail bike rack on the 2015 Nissan Xterra. So I love any bike rack with a front wheel mount simply because it's easy to load and you don't have to worry about your carbon frames getting warped or damaged or having to do any special adjusting for your wooden step through bikes or any of those weird frames but you're gonna be able to carry 60 pounds per bike. So it's gonna be great for your heavy bikes, your electric bikes, things like that. It is made out of steel and aluminum. So it's gonna be lighter weight, very durable and rust free and corrosion resistant as well.

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Honda CR-V
Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at Etrailer. And today we are looking at our Kuat Transfer V2 2-Bike Rack here on our 2021 Honda CR-V. Now the Kuat Transfer is an awesome bike rack if you are looking for something that has pretty good weight capacity, can fit into different size hitches, but my favorite part about it is how easy it is to mount and to dismount your bikes. So one of its features, is that this can tilt away, and to do so, you'll have to press on this lever and just tilt it down. So let's see how this works. Just press that button and this will lift straight up.

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Honda CR-V
Hey everybody, Ryan here at e-trailer. Today on our 2020 Honda CRV, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule camber hitch mounted bike rack. The rack that we have here today can hold up to a total of four bikes, but if you don't need to carry that man there's also a two bike version available as well.One of the big questions we get asked all the time, in regards to hitch mounted bike racks, is if you're still going to be able to have full access to the back of your SUV. And this one does fold down out of the way and allows us to do that. If you just come down here to this handle and pull up on it, that's going to allow us to lower it. Now, one of these things, even though a small detail, I like these handles a lot.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda CR-V
Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2019 Honda CRV, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Platform Style Bike Rack. So the rack that we have here today is the two bike version, but there's also a one bike version available as well. So one of the things that really separates this platform style bike rack compared to some of the other ones is that we can actually offset our bike. So what I mean by that is many times when you have two or more bikes on the platform and you try to load that second one up, the handlebars and other components can kind of get in the way. Majority of the time.
RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda CR-V
Rob: Hey everybody, Rob here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the RockyMounts MonoRail two-bike platform-style rack on our 2019 Honda CR-V. Now I really like hitch-mounted racks because it does make it a lot easier to transport your bikes to and from the trail. Because, let's face it that we do have a decent amount of room in the back of our CR-V, but nobody wants to cram their bike in the back, potentially scratching up the inside of their car or damaging their bikes. And, if you're on the shorter side like me, getting a roof rack may not be the best option either because this is where the bottom of the rack would be and I would have to lift my bike all the way up to the roof. So I just think that a hitch-mounted rack is a lot more convenient.Now one of my favorite features about our bike rack comes in really handy.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda CR-V
Hi there CRV owners. Today, on your 2000 1900 CRV, we're going to be taking a look at Thule's Helium Two Hanging Bike Rack. This bike rack is also available in the three hanging bike rack version.

It's a solid aluminum construction, which helps keep it extremely light in comparison with many other bike racks, so it's easy to load into your hitch. If you constantly wanted to have a bike rack that you load and unload, and store in your garage, this is one of the best options out there.

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Honda CR-V
Hi there, CR-V owners. Today, in your 2019 Honda CR-V, we're going to be taking a look at Thule's Hanging 4-Bike rack.This rack can hold up to four bikes. Each bike is held in place using three cradles, two for your top bar and one for the vertical bar. The vertical bar helps prevent it from rattling back and forth to prevent bike-to-bike contact, as well as bike-to-rack contact. Each of the cradles features a rubberized pad on them to give it a soft surface to ride on, as well as to keep it from slipping around, and there's grooves located in each of the pads, so that way there's a channel for your brake cables to sit in, so that way they won't rub up against your frame causing any abrasions or scratches to it.When you're ready to use your bike, it's easy to take it off. Simply press in on the lever, and then you can slide the Cam Buckle strap out.
Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2019 Honda CR-V
Rob here at eTrailer.com. Today you're going to be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro Hanging Style 4-Bike Rack on our 2019 Honda CRV.Now our Hitching Post Pro is going to allow us to carry up to four bikes to and from the trail. It's going to alleviate that problem of having to cram your bikes in the back in the cargo area or having to worry about getting a roof rack and reaching all the way up to put your bikes on and unload them. This is going to be a lot easier and more secure way to get your bikes there, but since it's a hanging style bike rack we're going to have three points of contact.We're going to have two on the cross tube here and one on the vertical support. Now this one on the vertical support's going to act like an anti-sway so it's going to prevent the bike from swinging too much and preventing that bike to bike contact.Well let's go ahead and remove the straps so we can pull our bike off and take a closer look. The straps here, we can just pull on them and pull the rubber strap off the little hook.

Colin: Hey guys, it's Colin here at eTrailer. Today we have here a 2018 CRV. We've been test fitting some bike racks.This right here is the Swagman Current. This is a two bike platform rack. As you can see our bike is going to sitting on top, rather than compared to a hanging style rack where it'll just be holding by our top tube right there. You can see with the bike rim we have right here it wouldn't be very ideal to use a hanging style rack, let alone the fact that it's an E-bike.Now with the Swagman Current you can get two bikes loaded.
