Swagman Titan Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe

content loading




Review of the Swagman Titan Hitch Bike Rack on a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe


Today on our 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe, well be test fitting the Swagman Titan 4-Bike Carrier part S63410. Now to begin our test fit, well simply install the bike rack shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pinhole and install the anti-rattle bolt. With our bolt tight, this is what the bike rack will look like secured to the vehicle. Now well go ahead and give you a few measurements. Our ground clearance at the bike rack is 13 inches and from the closest point of the bike rack mast to the back of the vehicle is 9 inches. Now well go ahead and pull the hitch switch at the bottom of the bike to tilt our mast down.

We can then open our cargo door. And as you can see, we can gain full access to the cargo area with this bike rack. We can now pull the hitch switch at the top of the bike rack mast and bring out our dual arms where we can undo the straps exposing our cradles. Well then place the bike into the cradles and bring the straps around securing it to the bike rack. And there you have it, our bike is loaded and were ready to hit the road.

Now we do wanna note that we are mounting the bike on the outermost cradle. This is not recommended when transporting one bike. You should mount the bike to the innermost cradles when transporting it by itself. And that completes our test fit of the Swagman Titan 4 Bike Carrier part number S63410 on our 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe.
