Today on our 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe we'll be test fitting part number TH9025, the Thule Apex 4 Bike Carrier. To begin our test fit we'll simply slide the bike rack shank into the hitch making sure that the integrated locking hitch pin is out of the way. When we slid over the collar of the hitch we can then let go of the integrated locking hitch pin and allow it to slide into the hitch pin hole. After it's slid into the hitch pin hole we'll simply give it a slight tug and tighten down the anti-rattle knob here at the bottom of the bike rack. And with the knob tight, our bike rack is secured to the vehicle and we can load it up. And our ground clearance at the bike rack is 12 inches, and from the closest point of the bike rack mast to the back of the vehicle is 10 inches.
Next we'll go ahead and pull the hitch switch at the bottom of the bike rack to tilt the 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'll now go ahead and pull the hitch switch at the top of the mast to bring out our dual arching arms. We can then undo the straps exposing the cradles.
We'll 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 we're ready to hit the road. And that completes our test fit of the Thule Apex 4 Bike Carrier part number TH9025 on our 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe.
