Does the Kuat 2 Beta Bike Rack Fit on a Kia Soul?
Question:
Hi, I have a 2011 Kia Soul. I am interested in the Kuat 2 Beta bike rack. How do I know if I already have an appropriate hitch or if I need to buy something to attach first? Thanks,

I would be happy to help you. The Kuat 2 Beta Bike Rack item # B202-114 fits a 1-1/4" class I or II receiver. The distance from the the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar is 7-1/2". This is the measurement that determines whether or not the bike rack will hit the back of your bumper. I have linked a review video below for this bike rack so you can see its functions.
I took a look at both of the hitches we have available for a 2011 Kia Soul. Both the Draw-Tite item # 24839 and the Curt item # C11110 are Class I hitches with 1-1/4" receivers. They are similar in capacity and size the center of the hitch pinhole to the end of the bumper is close to 5" on both hitches.
You should have no issues attaching the Kuat 2 Beta Bike Rack item # B202-114 to your Soul and you do not need to purchase extra parts. If you have any other questions feel free to email them to me directly.
