Thank you. Very thorough description and presentation. You covered all the salient points to assist in making a purchasing decision.

[EvilJ]

Great video! I especially liked how you showed your solutions for the youth bikes, as I am currently dealing with the same issue.

[mikebode]

Great video; you confirmed my choice of the Yak based on the zip strip things; the variable bike locationing; and better lock and release mechanisms. Big thx for this informative vid.

[kidsgardener]

I will go with the Thule because of the weight difference . Thanks

[realryanward]

I have the Thule Apex XT Swing. The straps are different on mine, (not ratcheting) I find bikes bounce a lot to the point where I stop and check with more than 2 bikes.

Good video. Thank you for posting. I'd like to know which one YOU like better?? Did one have more movement/play at the hitch connection than the other? (I'm leaning towards Yakima for my Bronco)

[SagazHero]

Thank you for showing the bike frame adapter.

[kraudav]

Great video, thank you. Helped me pick the Yakima over the Thule

[sherwinm]

Thanks for the video. I was looking at platform rack since I like those better. But the factory hitch I got with my Tesla is limited to 160 lbs tongue weight. I do like the ability to carry more bikes with these style racks. Still haven’t decided but maybe leaning towards the Yakima.

[human-wxql]

nice video. It will help me a lot to understand the difference.

[ranger]

That front fork, being on backwards, on your wife's bike hurts my brain. Oh, we went with the Yakima.

[embelaro]

just what i need! thanks for sharing this GREAT Video

It appears the Thule provides more spacing to prevent the bikes from scratching, but if I'm only hauling 3 bikes, it appears you can space them out better with the Yakima. What are your thoughts?

[Ltyte]

I like the Yakima with one reservation - it doesn’t seem to be able to fit 4 adult bikes, whereas the Thule seems like it can. I see a lot of reviews on REI about the lack of space on the Yakima - how it’s really a 3 bike rack. What do you think?

[nelsonleon]

Thank you - what bar did you like for womans and kids bikes - the thule bar seems overpriced and non adjustable

[xiaohai]

I saw some of this burned. As there are vehicles exhaust are located at the passenger back side .
Ex. Santa fe Hyundai exhaust just toaster the plastic hinge.
Why is this not being brought up by thule and yakima?

[raulangulo]

la parte de abajo el enganche se rompe a mi me paso no soporta 4 bicicletas se me abrio en carretera

[yujinseo]

Hi,
Your kid’s bike is 16inches or 20inches?

[okstever]

Please don't tell me you drive around with that small bike clamped with just one strap. You're bound to get someone killed when that lone plastic strap fails, which it will.
