Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Subaru Outback we're going to be doing a test-fit on the Hollywood racks over the top two bike carrier. And that part number is HRF2. This bike rack is specifically designed for vehicles that have these spoilers at the top of their hatch so that it can prevent any type of damage from occurring.As you can see the connection points for straps from the bike rack to the top of the hatch isn't adding on any extra weight or pull onto the spoilers, which is going to help protect it from any type of damage. Seeing our bike installed right here we're going to see it secured at three different points of contact.We have two straps on the top of our frame and we have this anti-sway strap securing it into this cradle. Once that's secured, that's going to prevent the bike from swaying too much while we're traveling and prevent the bike from making contact with the rear of our vehicle or with the other bike we could have installed.Let's go ahead and remove it. I'm going to just remove these straps like that.

We also have the ZipStrips, two of them up top holding it in place, as well as one to the side, which is going to serve as an anti-sway cradle to keep the bikes from moving too far back and forth and making bike to bike contact.We do have a stabilization strap around our first wheel here. If you we're to have both bikes attached, there is a much longer strap that would wrap around both bikes, as well as the bike rack itself, to keep it stable in those situations.Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside. It's very easy.
