RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2014 Kia Sorento

Speaker 1: Today on our 2014 Kia Sorrento, we're going to be test fitting the RockyMounts SplitRail Four-Bike Platform Rack for 2" Hitches, part number RKY1140-4. We already have a bike installed on the rack, so let's take a closer look and show off some of the features.One of the best features about this bike rack is going to be the fact that it can tilt away from the vehicle with all four bikes still attached. To do that, we'll come to the front and come underneath to this lever here. I would like to point out that it can be a little awkward reaching all the way out here with all four bikes attached, so you may need an extra set of hands to help you do this. So, pull out on that lever, let the bike rack come down, and we'll have full hatch access now.I would like to point out that it's pretty close here when it comes to our handlebars. From the center out we're at about 9", so if you we're to have, say, a mountain bike that sticks out a little bit further, you may make contact with this rear hatch. more
