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
