With this being a hanging style rack, it's gonna hold the bike by the frame with the rest of the bike kind of hanging down below it. That's where it gets its name. This one holds it in place with two zip strips up top. That's gonna be the straps that ratchet in and hold it down into the cradles with the third one on the seat post limiting our side to side movement.



Swagman XC2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Swagman XC2 two-bike platform rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So the XC2 is popular because it is a stable bike rack, but also affordable. So if you just want a platform rack that keeps your bike secure when you're driving around, but you don't want to take up too much space or you don't wanna pay for bells and whistles that you don't need, this is gonna be the bike rack for you. You will be losing out on some premium features, but you also have a very compact rack. So what types of bikes can you carry with this rack Well, it's a two-bike platform rack, so that's gonna be two bikes.



RockyMounts GuideRail Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Cooper here at etrailer and today we're gonna be taking a look at our RockyMounts GuideRail on our 2023 Honda CR-V. Our bike rack is going to be a two-platform style bike rack, individually rated for 60 pounds each, meaning that our e-bikes are going to fit on it. As well as you can tell, there is no frame contact, which means that our carbon frame bikes, as well as our alternative frame bikes, are going to fit very well onto this rack. One of the really cool features about the GuideRail is it actually has a tilt-away feature. So holding onto our blue lever here, just holding onto our bike for a little extra security, we are able to tilt this away, allowing us access into our trunk. So that way we have our bike shoes back here, our helmets, maybe a water bottle or something.



Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Platform Rack with Ramp Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima On-Ramp, hitch-bounded bike rack, and seeing how it fits in the back of our 2023 Honda CR-V. The On-Ramp is a platform style bike rack and this one holds the bike in trays. You can slide the bikes back and forth anywhere along these trays so long as the wheel straps reach the wheels and our frame clamp here can wrap around the frame. It's gonna be really more of a cradle with a strap around it than a clamp.



Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hi, everyone. Aiden here at the etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro Hanging-Style Bike Rack, and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Honda CR-V. With this being a Hanging-Style Bike Rack, that does present some limitations. This isn't gonna be the best fit for carbon frame bikes because hanging by the frame here isn't good for those more fragile frames. This one holds it in these cradles with two straps over the top, and one around the side to limit our side-to-side movement, acting as an anti-sway cradle.



Swagman Skaha 2 Electric Bikes Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hi, everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman Skaha 2-Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Honda CR-V. The Skaha is a platform-style bike rack, holding up to two bikes in these wheel cradles and holding them primarily by our front tire using the wheel hook. Because it uses the wheel hook, we don't have any sort of frame contact here, making this a good option for carbon frame and alternative frame bikes, and with a 60 pound weight capacity per bike, it can handle some e-bikes too. At the bottom of the bike rack towards the front end here, there's gonna be a green lever. This is what we can use to tilt the rack down, releasing the mechanism there, and lowering the rack down.



RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Rocky Mounts MonoRail hitch mounted rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Honda CR-V. Now the Monorail is going to be a platform style bike rack. Platform means that it's going to sit on top of this tray in these wheel cradles and this one is going to be a really great value option in my opinion. It can hold up to 60 pounds per bike, two bikes each and it's going to have no frame contact holding the bike by the front tire here using this wheel hook and the back tire with a wheel strap. No frame contact makes this a great option for carbon frame bikes and alternative frame bikes making this a very versatile rack in terms of what bikes it can work with.



Inno Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with trailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Honda CR-V. The Tire Hold is a platform style bike rack. This version of it holding the bike in these trays you can adjust the bike side to side and this is gonna be a dual wheel mount style. And all that really means is the way you hold the bike is with two wheel hoops.



Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination E bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Honda CR-V. The Destination E is a platform style bike rack, holding the bike in these trays and primarily by our frame using this frame clamp. This is gonna rotate 360 degrees, move around the mast on the back here, and allow us to meet the bike where it is, that makes it a great option for alternative frame bikes. And with this being an e-bike rack, it can support up to 70 pounds per bike, so some of our bigger e-bikes can fit on here. The one thing I would steer away from is carbon frame bikes, because frame contact already isn't good for the carbon frame, and especially a clamp like this where we're putting a lot of pressure around that frame.



Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have a Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So, the Kuat Sherpa is a great middle of the road bike rack. I highly recommend it for people that just have a normal bike, and they wanna carry it around quickly and easily. It does have some downsides, like, it doesn't have a super great weight capacity for extra heavy electric bikes, but it does have some fun features, like this tilt away. So, if you pull this lever down here, (rack clicks) and you just let the bike rack drop down to a tilt, you will be able to open up your hatch.



Saris Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we have the Saris SuperClamp EX two-bike platform rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So for this SuperClamp, it's a versatile bike rack and also very compact. You can carry your heavy electric bikes, but you also fold it up really easily, so it's easy to store, both on your vehicle and in your garage. Here with the CR-V, it does work pretty well with the vehicle, although there are some things I would consider, because it is a bit of a hassle to get your bikes on there. So we'll talk about that, but we're gonna focus on the tilt-away feature first.



RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the RockyMounts AfterParty swing-away bike rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So the RockyMounts AfterParty is very similar to the RockyMounts GuideRail where you have a dual wheel mount bike rack. The thing that's special, though, with the AfterParty is it swings away, and that gives you full access to the back of your vehicle if you want to set up a campsite, open up the hatch, things like that. Now, with the CR-V, I personally would actually recommend just sticking with the RockyMounts GuideRail, and that's just because you can still tilt away both bike racks. So if you don't need that full hatch clearance, you'll still be able to open up your hatch with the bikes rack, bikes on without having to swing the entire bike rack away.



Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we have the Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So the Kuat NV is really nice and premium bike rack with a lot of premium features. With the Honda CR-V, I actually see this combination a lot, with them paired together, because the looks match, but also it's just really easy to use this bike rack. So we'll talk about those features and see if this works for your bikes. So the first feature we'll talk about is the tilt away feature.



Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda CR-V

Hey, everyone, it's Eva Angeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Hollywood Racks Destination Two Bike Platform Rack. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2023 Honda CR-V. So with this bike rack, you have a very lightweight, compact two bike platform rack. It is an affordable rack, so if you want the stability of a platform rack but at the price of what you would usually see for a hanging rack, this is what I would go with. There's some aspects of it that I really like but there's some downsides as well like how it has a limited weight capacity to 35 pounds per bike and this bike rack does not tilt away. So if you need to access your hatch, you are gonna have to take the bike off.



Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Swagman XC 2 two-bike platform rack. We're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2022 Honda CR-V Now, the Swagman XC 2 is actually really popular with the CR-V owners because it's gonna be the quickest and most affordable way to get into the platform rack space. So if you have a two inch or inch and a quarter hitch receiver on your CR-V, and you want something that has a bit more stability than a hanging rack but isn't that pricey, that's where the XC 2 comes in handy. So it does a decent job at making sure your bike is steady as you drive around. It's not swinging around, but it also has its downsides like its very limited features. So that comes in so be mindful.



Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 bike platform rack. We're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2022 Honda CR-V. So right off the bat, you're gonna need a hitch receiver on your CR-V, a two inch hitch receiver if you wanna carry this bike rack. This is gonna be a two plus two rack, so you can quickly remove this extension if you wanna convert it back to a two bike rack or add the extension if you wanted to turn it into a four bike platform rack. It is on the heavier side. I would recommend having a friend help you out with installing it.



Thule Epos 3 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hi, Matt here with etrailer. And today, we're gonna be talking about the Thule Epos 3-Bike Rack on the back of the 2022 Honda CR-V. This is gonna be a versatile platform bike rack. As you can see here, it's capable of carrying carbon frame bikes. On the back tire, it has a strap instead of being on the frame itself, but this center mast is also capable of sliding over to the frame and being attached anywhere, so it's great for mountain bikes as well. It can also carry about 66 pounds per bike, so that's gonna be great for any of your e-bikes, for anything super heavy.



Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Kuat Transfer V2 three-bike platform rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2022 Honda CR-V. So the Transfer is unique because you can carry around multiple bikes, but it still has this open space in the middle to make it easier to load those bikes up. And if you have it folded up against the CR-V, you still have a lot of visibility in the back. So focusing on this bike rack with this car, first, we're going to tilt it away. So if you needed to open up your hatch and grab whatever you needed, what I do is I put the arms up to the side that way it can step into that goal post design, and then it's easier to hit that lever to bring the rack down. Unfortunately though, because the Transfer doesn't tilt down that much, if you did want to open up the hatch fully on the CR-V, we are not able to do so.



Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the Yakima StageTwo on our 2022 Honda CR-V. The StageTwo is a platform style bike rack that holds the bike in these trays, and primarily, by our front wheel up here. It's gonna mean zero frame contact, make it good for carbon frame and alternative frame bikes, and with a 70 pound weight capacity per bike, good for our e-bikes too and even some of the heavier ones. 60 pounds tends to be the standard for a lot of e-bike racks, so it's great to see when one goes a little bit above and beyond for those heavier bikes. Now, like many other bike racks in this class, we have the ability to tilt away with the bikes loaded.



Saris Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone, Aiden here at etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the Saris SuperClamp HD on our 2022 Honda CR-V. The SuperClamp is going to be a platform style bike rack, holding the bike in these cradles, and primarily, by the tires. We've got a wheel hook on either tire, and some secondary points of contact in those cradles, just some wheel straps holding it down in place. and that's gonna give us a really solid hold of the bike in the bike rack. Now, like many other bike racks in this class, we have the ability to tilt it away with bikes loaded.



Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Swagman XTC2TILT on our 2022 Honda CR-V. Now the XTC is a platform style bike rack. It holds a bike in these wheel hoops at the bottom and primarily holding it in place with this frame hook up top. That's gonna hold it down in those wheel hoops and keep it secure. And the frame contact is gonna mean that we wanna avoid carbon frame bikes because it can damage the frame.



Rhino Rack Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone. Aiden here with E-trailer. Today we're taking a look at the Rhino Rack Hanging style bike rack on our 2022 Honda CR-V. This is gonna be a hanging style rack that holds a bike by the frame up here in these cradles. We've got held down with these two straps on top and a third one around the seat post to act as our anti-sway cradle. That's gonna limit the side to side movement of the bike a little bit and help with bike to bike contact.



Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination 2 bike rack on our 2022 Honda CR-V. This is going to be a platform style bike rack, holding the bike in these trays and primarily by the frame. We've got our cradle right here with a strap run around the frame to hold it in place. That cradle will rotate 360 degrees. Now because it makes frame contact we do wanna avoid carbon frame bikes.



CURT Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Honda CR-V

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer.com and today we're taking a look at the Curt Premium four bike rack on our 2022 Honda CR-V. Now the Curt Premium is a hanging style rack which means the bike hangs by the frame. We've got two straps over the frame at the top here keeping it down in the cradles. And the third one on the seat post, the seat post strap is gonna limit that side to side movement. It's still there, but it does help limit it and reduce bike to bike contact or in some cases even bike to vehicle contact. You can see our front tire doesn't really wanna sit still right here so I might consider adding a cam buckle strap from the tire to the frame just to keep it still.
