Review Of The Kuat Alpha Bicycle Rack
Today we are going to show you the Alpha bicycle rack from Kuat. As shown here we have it in an 1-1/4 inch version in the chrome black. It is constructed completely out of aluminum, it is very light weight and you can practically toss this anywhere you want. Also available is in the white color as shown here in the 2 inch version bicycle rack.
Now we have a couple of racks already installed on some vehicles so lets take a short ride around back and show you how they work. Some points about this bicycle rack is first off when you install it on the hitch of your vehicle you do not have to worry about having any special tools for it, you simply slide it in, install the lock that came with the bike rack, and then tighten down the anti rattle device. Boom you are done. Then you are ready to put the bikes on the rack itself.
What is nice about the rack itself are the arms are very narrow so they can hold a variety of different bikes. On the cradles you have anti sway on both of them so it does not matter how you start stacking the bikes on the rack. Another nice feature about this bicycle rack is if you want to get in the back to the trunk of your car or SUV all you have to do is undo the little tension knob here, pull out the pin right here, undo the clip and you actually tilt the assembly out of the way, store the pin back so that you can get in the back of your vehicle. And also when you are ready to store the Kuat bicycle rack all you have to do is undo the tension knob on the back, pull this pin, pull it out, fold it down, and reinstall the pin and it is ready for storage.
Lets go ahead and put this bicycle on the rack. First off undo your cradles, just go ahead and lift the bike onto the cradles. And you can rotate the cradles as needed to fit the bike. And we will just go ahead and run these straps around it. For security the Kuat Alpha bicycle rack actuality has a built in lock and cable so you can wrap it around the bike itself. Put it into the lock and push the button, and it is secured to the rack. And with that it finishes our review of part number A101-white as shown here. And then also part number A102-black-114 for 1-1/4inch models.
