Do I Need The Rear Rack For My Cargo BasketUpdated 3 months ago
For the Ariel Rider Grizzly and X-Class models, you'll need to acquire a separate rack to accommodate your cargo basket. In contrast, the Kepler model conveniently includes a rack that's already compatible with your cargo basket.
*Please note, this is for X-Class models prior to 2025
Adding a cargo basket to your Ariel Rider bike can greatly enhance its utility for carrying groceries, supplies, and other items. However, the installation requirements vary depending on your specific model.
Grizzly and X-Class Models:
- These models do not come with a pre-installed compatible rack
- You will need to purchase a separate rear rack before installing your cargo basket
- The rear rack is available here.
- Installation of the rack will require basic tools and should be done before attempting to mount the cargo basket
Kepler Model:
- Comes with a factory-installed rear rack, No additional rack purchase is necessary
- The included rack is already compatible with standard cargo baskets
- You can proceed directly to install your cargo basket onto the existing rack
Important Considerations:
- Always check the weight capacity of both your rack and cargo basket
- Ensure all mounting hardware is properly tightened
- Periodically inspect the rack and basket mounting points for security
- Distribute cargo weight evenly for optimal handling
