Today we have a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta and well be test fitting the Kuat Alpha 3-Bike
Aluminum Bike Rack part number A103-WHITE-114. This bike rack is designed to work with class
1 1 -inch hitches like we have in our Jetta as well as class 2. To mount the bike rack,
well insert the shank in to our hitch. Well line up the hitch pinholes and then we can
tighten our anti-rattle device. Once weve done that well throw the pin and lock through
it and our bike rack is mounted and ready to use. First well check for rear vehicle
access. Well hold our bike carrier down and make sure
we can still open the trunk and get inside. Now were ready to load our bike. Well fold
the arms up and undo the rubber straps around the cradles then we can fit our bike over
the arms and into the cradles and secure it with the straps. And with that our bike is
loaded and were ready to hit the road. From the ground to the bottom of our carrier we
have about 8 inches of ground clearance.
