Expert Answers about Kia Roof Bike Racks


  • How to Carry 4 Bikes on a 2010 Toyota Prius
  • There are ways to transport 4 bikes with your 2010 Toyota Prius, but the only trailer hitches available for your vehicle are Class I and as you mentioned, they have a 2 bike limit. You can use a hitch mount bike rack like the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack, # S64670, to carry two bikes, and I recommend carrying the other two bikes on the roof. I have attached a demonstration video of the XTC-2 on a Prius for you to check out. This is one of the top bike racks we carry for Class I trailer hitches. The...

  • Lock Options for SportRack Upshift Deluxe Roof-Rack-Mount Bike Carrier
  • The SportRack Upshift Deluxe roof-rack-mount bike carrier does not have a built-in lock mechanism to secure it to your roof rack, but it does have a lock for your loaded bike. If you prefer a bike carrier with both bike and rack locks you can use the linked page to see all options. You also have the option of adding a cable lock like 15-foot # FCLK150100 or 10-foot # e98891 to the Upshift Deluxe which you could simply run through the bike wheels and frame to secure these to the roof rack.

  • How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2018 Chevy Cruze Hatchback
  • The best way to carry 3 bikes on your 2018 Chevy Cruze Hatchback and keep access to your rear hatch without removing the bikes or bike rack is to either use a hitch mount bike rack for 2 bikes and a roof mount rack for the 3rd or to carry all three bikes on the roof. These 2 options will require more of an investment than a trunk mount bike rack, but they are your best and safest options.

  • How to Carry More Than 2 Bikes on 2014 Toyota Prius C
  • The hitch and bike rack manufacturers all agree that bike racks used in a Class I hitch like the Curt # C11484 should not carry any more than two bicycles (even kid's bikes) even if the rack used has a 4 bike capacity and for good reason. Weight is part of the reason, but leverage is also a huge consideration. Adding a 3rd and 4th bike moves more load further away from the hitch which rapidly increases the leverage and force applied not only to the hitch but to the hitch attachment points...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2009 Dodge Caliber
  • As long as your 2009 Dodge Caliber is not the SRT-4 model, then you will not need to purchase any parts other than a trailer hitch and a bike rack from us.
