Review of the SportRack Nomad Roof Bike Rack on a 2012 Nissan Versa


Today we have with us the 2012 Nissan Versa and we'll be test fitting the Sportrack Nomad Roof Mounted Bike Carrier part number ABR611. To mount the carrier to our roof rack we'll set it up on top of our load bars. We'll fit the U bolts and wing nuts around our front load bar at the head of the bike rack and we'll tighten it down. We'll move to the rear load bar and use the clamp, bolts and wing nuts to secure the rear of the bike rack. Once we've done that we can ready to load our bike. We want to make sure that the wheel straps at the front and back of the wheel tray are open.

We'll pick up our bike and set it down in the wheel tray. We'll lift the frame mount up and clamp it around the frame of our bike rack. Once we've done that we can use the wheel straps to secure the front and rear wheels. And with that our bike is loaded up and we're ready to hit the road. That does it for our test fit of the Sportrack Nomad Roof Mounted Bike Carrier part number ABR611 on our 2012 Nissan Versa..
