Inno Tire Hold HD Bike Rack Review - 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Inno Tire Hold HD on our 2024 Subaru Outback wagon. The tire hold HD is a heavy duty bike carrier that's gonna work for your heavier e-bikes up to 80 pounds each, and for any of your specialty bikes like carbon fiber frames, unconventional step-through bikes, or something that has a fancy paint job where you wanna have no contact to the frame. Let's take a look at the tilt feature that's included on our bike carrier, and see what type of access it allows us to our hatch area. And I'm just gonna, yeah, so I'd just give it a little bit 'cause we come kind of close with our handlebars, but overall it would, you still have really great access to the back of your vehicle, so that is something to consider as well. So we're gonna take our bike off of the carrier, and take a closer look at some of the features. Press the gray button to release the tension on our wheel loop.



Swagman XC2 2 Bike Rack Review - 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi. John with etrailer. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have a nice, dependable, lightweight bike rack. This here is the Swagman XC2 Platform Style bike rack that we installed on our 2024 Subaru Outback. So right off the bat, I do wanna let you know that if you have a carbon frame bike, this isn't gonna be the bike rack for you because even though it's a platform style, we're still making frame contact right here. Now, if you have a regular bike without a carbon frame, this is great still because this is padded, and it holds your bike securely.

Hollywood Racks Destination 2 Bike Platform Rack Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi, everybody. Cooper here from etrailer and today we're going to be taking a look at our Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack on our 2023 Subaru Outback. Our bike rack is a two platform style bike rack and it is going to have that frame contact. That's actually what's keeping it on our bike here and then additional straps here down on the wheels keeping it into place. While our center mast touching our frame means that carbon bikes aren't gonna be available for this, as well as the bikes individually of being rated for 35 pounds each. Making e-bikes out for this too as well.



RockyMounts GuideRail 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hey, everybody. Cooper here from etrailer, and today we're gonna be taking a look at our RockyMount GuideRail on our 2023 Subaru Outback. Our bike rack's going to be a platform style bike rack, individually weighted for 60 pounds each per bike, and as you'll be able to notice too, is a frameless contact support, so it's going to be really great for those carbon frame bikes, alternative frame bikes, as well as our e-bikes, too. Now obviously, with our bikes loaded, we're not gonna have access into our trunk, so if we actually pull this lever down here, it's going to allow us to tilt our bike away from our vehicle, allowing us pull access into our trunk. Now, whether we have our water, our helmet, our shoes back here, this allows me a lot more space in to just be able to grab my items, whatever I need before I start, or at the end of our journey. Now, in order to get our bike rack back up, we just actually go ahead and grab it and lift up until we hear that clip noise.

Now this is going to be a platform style bike rack that holds the bike in these cradles and primarily by our front tire. This one is going to be a very bulky and large bike rack but with a ability to carry 4 bikes that is kind of to be expected to some extent. With this making contact on the tire and not the frame it is good for carbon frame bikes and alternative frame bikes because we're not relying on that frame contact to hold the bike.



Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman XTC2 Tilt platform style bike rack, and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Subaru Outback.

Inno Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi, everyone. Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Inno Tire Hold Platform Style Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Subaru Outback. This is going to be a dual wheel mount style bike rack which means it holds the bike by both tires using these wheel hoops. The dual wheel mount style is really nice because it's very easy to load and unload your bikes, and it doesn't make frame contact. So, it's gonna be a good option for carbon frame bikes, alternative frame, and with a 60-pound weight capacity per bike, it's gonna be able to handle some e-bikes too.



Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

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 Subaru Outback. This is going to be a platform style bike rack holding the bike in these trays and primarily by our frame. We've got a clamp that will open and tighten down onto the frame wherever it fits. So that clamp can be moved around this mast on the back of the bike rack here and rotate around 360 degrees to adapt to different frames.



CURT Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Curt Premium hanging-style bike rack, and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Subaru Outback. This hanging style-bike rack holds the bike by the frame, and let the rest of the bike hang down below it. It's got three points of contact, two straps up top, and a third one on the side here, to limit our side-to-side movement and bike-to-bike contact. Now, I will say that this type of strap, the stretchy rubber material, although it is kind of nice for just weather resistance and ease of use, it's not the most secure, and there is still quite a bit of side-to-side movement with the bike. But, you can always add an extra strap after the fact to help cinch things down.



RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the RockyMounts HighNoon FC platform-style bike rack and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon. Now this is gonna be a bike rack designed for bikes with fenders. I've got our front wheel hook set up kinda in the position that you'd have it if you had a front fender that maybe came out through about here. Now more often than not with a bike rack that uses a front wheel hook like this, you have to put it pretty much as close to the forks as it can go for maximum security.



RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Rockymounts MonoRail two bike rack and seeing how it fits on our 2023 Subaru Outback. Now this is going to be a platform style bike rack that holds the bike in these trays with our wheel cradles and primarily by our front tire using the wheel hook. The wheel hook is really nice because it makes hookup really straightforward and simple but it also makes it compatible with carbon frame bikes, alternative frame bikes, and with a 60 pound weight capacity per bike, it can support some e-bikes too, which is exactly what we have on there today. Like many other platform racks, it also features a really nice ability to tilt away with the bikes loaded.



Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Platform Rack Review - 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon

Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Hitch Bike Rack how it fits on our 2023 Subaru Outback wagon. The Sport Rider SE is very popular first and foremost because it is able to get up to 80 pounds per bike loaded up. So it's a platform style rack capable of supporting two bikes up to 80 pounds, which is a lot. So it's gonna be really useful for your e-bike purposes. If you did wanna mix and match this with something with a carbon frame or a really nice paint job we'd recommend against it 'cause although it does make primary contact here on our frame hooks and they're padded, it still does make that contact there and could potentially damage your frame while you're driving.

So if you did want to use this with your carbon frame bikes, you definitely can. Maybe you just have a really nice paint job you can do that too.
