Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2018 Mazda CX-5

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Mazda CX5, we're gonna be doing a test fit on the Yakima halfback two trunk mounted two bike rack. That's part number Y02636. So I've already got everything all loaded up just to give you a good idea of what it looks like and how it's gonna hold our bikes. Now in my personal opinion, I would say this is a quality bike rack. Compared to the Yakima full back, it has a few differences. It doesn't have locks and it doesn't have rubber coated cam buckles, but it's still a great bike rack.

So we can enjoy our Buds at the end of a hard ride.

If we look at the cradles, we're going to see this nice rubber TPE padding. Now, what that's going to do is the TPE padding is going to act as a shock absorber for the frame of our bike during travel and it's going to protect it from any type of scratches or abrasions.These cradles are stationary, meaning they don't move side to side, or up and down the bike rack.If we look at our bike, we're going to see it secured at three different points of contact. We're going to have these two ZipStrips on the top of our bike frame securing them into the cradles. If we come down here, we're going to see this anti-rattle cradle. Now, when the ZipStrip is securing the frame of our bike into the anti-rattle cradle, that's going to prevent our bike from swaying too much during travel, preventing any vehicle to bike contact, or bike to bike contact if you have two installed.Up here, we're going to see this strap we have securing the front wheel of our bike to the frame of our bike.

You simply just insert your key in there, unlock it, and then you can unload your bikes.Over here, we're going to see the Yakima bottle openers as on all of their bike racks.
