Inno Roof Bike Racks Review - 2011 Kia Sorento

Speaker 1: Today on our 2011 Kia Sorento we're going to be test fitting the INNO Fork Lock III Roof Bike Rack. That's going to be Part Number INA391. As you can see, we already have a bike installed, so let's take a look at some of the features.If we come up and see how the bike is secured on the bike rack, we're going to see that it's connected at two different points of contact, one being this wheel strap on the back wheel. Now what's a nice feature about this is that this strap and the cradle can adjust along the bike rack to accommodate any length that your bike might be. Just simply just move it to the length you want, and once you do you just secure the strap on the back wheel like so.Moving up to the front and see how the front is secured, we have this clamp that's mounting our two forks of the front of our bike in, so keep in mind you will have to remove the front wheel of your bike to utilize this bike rack. How the clamping system works is once we get our forks in we have this clamp right here. more

We also have a road bike in place to help us point out some of the features. Our first look is that it has a nice, aerodynamic, shape to it. It has a nice curved cover that gives you access to your skewer as well as a guard to help keep the bike from being stolen. The skewer will hold a variety of different axles, 9 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm three axle bikes. Now this whole assembly up front has a plastic housing on top and of course steel underneath for reinforcement and for the inner workings of the strap. more

Thule Spring Roof Bike Rack Review - 2011 Kia Sorento

Today on our 2011 Kia Sorento we'll be test fitting the Thule Sprint roof-mounted better, part number TH528. With a Thule Rapid Crossroads roof rack system up on our roof we'll start off our test fit by placing the bike rack up onto the load bars. I'll start at the front and bring the rubber-coated steel straps around the underside of the bar and hook them up into the connection point.

With everything all tightened down and secured, we're ready to load up a bike. We'll need to loosen up the nose of the bike rack, which will spread the secure out so that the forks can slide down onto it. more
