Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Kia Soul- Video
Today, on our 2016 Kia Soul, we'll be doing a test fit on the Swagman G10 Platform Style 2-Bike Rack. That's part number S64682. I've already got it loaded up on the Kia, just to give you a good idea of what it looks like and how it's going to work with our bikes. It actually secures our bikes in 3 spots. We've got a frame hook going over our top tube here, putting down pressure into our front and rear cradles, and then we've got a strap going over our wheels keeping our bike in place. One of the greatest features about this bike rack is it has the ability to tilt away with bikes loaded, so we can gain easy access to our rear hatch. What we'll want to do is we'll come down here to this black handle. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Kia Soul s64650- Video
Today on this Kia Soul, we're going to be test fitting the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack, part number S64650. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. How the bike attach to the rack, we're going to have 1 point of contact, and that's going to be the frame at the top with this hook here, and it is padded so once you install this the bike itself will not get damaged. We also have 2 adjustable wheel wells to accommodate different size bikes. Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside. To do that, you want to grip a hold of the bike when you release the hook because you don't want it falling forward into the vehicle and possibly damaging it. You go to the bottom of the hook here and there's this gray button. more
