How Do I Install My Cargo Basket?Updated 3 months ago
The Ariel Rider Kepler model's rear cargo basket is designed to directly connect to the bike's included rack and comes with the necessary hardware for attachment. However, for the Grizzly and X-Class models, you'll need to purchase a separate compatible rear rack, such as the Cargo Plus Rear Rack.
*Please note, this is for X-Class models prior to 2025
This cargo basket is also compatible with the front rack of the Kepler model. To install, first set up the rack, then align the holes of the rack and basket. Use the washers and screws provided in the cargo basket's box to assemble and secure the connection. Follow these guides for detailed instructions on installing your cargo baskets on the Grizzly and X-Class models.
