The Komodo is the perfect solution for carrying a road bike on your vehicle's naked roof if you don't already have a roof rack or traditional bike rack installed. Vacuum cups attach in seconds to the roof, trunk, or rear window on your car, SUV, van, motorhome, or trailer. Because it doesn't require a permanent installation, the Komodo is great for transporting your bike when you're traveling by rental car. And if you're worried that vacuum cups won't stay attached to your vehicle, you can rest assured because each vacuum cup provides 210 lbs of suction, giving you a total of 840 lbs of pull strength. Your bike isn't going anywhere! Additionally, the rack stores easily in your trunk or garage when not in use, or in a duffle bag while traveling.
Scratch-Resistant Vacuum Cups
SeaSucker vacuum cups are designed to install on your vehicle without causing dents or scratches. They will attach to most non-porous surfaces including metal, glass, and fiberglass. Each 6" cup is rated to hold up to 210 lbs. The housing and plunger are constructed of durable plastic with rustproof stainless-steel hardware, and the rubber pad is UV resistant up to 5 years. The included Lube Tube lets you keep the plungers in working condition.
Easy Installation, Setup, and Removal
To install the rack, make sure the mounting surface is clean, moisten the surface of each cup, place the rack on your roof, trunk, or window glass, then press each plunger several times until the orange bands disappear. Depending on the surface they're mounted to and the load being put on them, suction in the cups will decrease over time. Make sure to check the plungers before you get into your vehicle. When you see the orange indicator bands show simply re-pump the plungers.
The Komodo carries your bike using a 9-mm quick-release skewer and plug, or a 12-mm x 100-mm thru-axle plug. It only takes seconds to swap plugs.
To secure your bike's rear wheel, place it in the wheel cradle on the tail of the rack and wrap the padded ratchet strap around the tire to secure it in place. The tail folds when not in use to make the rack more compact for storage.
The crank arm strap prevents your pedal from spinning and damaging the rack or your vehicle. Rotate your bike's crank arm parallel with the chain stay and wrap the hook-and-loop crank arm strap around both.
Finally, use the included Hogg wheel holder to carry your front wheel on the bike's rear-wheel axle. This keeps you from having to store a dirty tire in your vehicle, and it frees up space for other items.
To break the seal on each cup and remove the rack from your vehicle, simply pull the T-shaped tabs up and towards the center of the cups - it's that easy. Remove the rack and store it in your trunk or garage, or put it in a duffle bag to take with you.

The Komodo was the perfect solution for carrying my road bike on the trunk lid on my old BMW Z3 Roadster. I also purchased the front wheel Hogg and or works beautifully. Seasucker's Komodo Is a very high quality product that looks like a piece of art. I'm likely to get more compliments on the Komodo rack than my bike or car!

- Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Capable Of Carrying a 48LB Bike on a 2022 Honda CR-VI have a recommendation as the bike rack you found calls out a maximum weight capacity of 38lbs per bike. While it is capable of being able to carry a 2nd bike the maximum weight per bike does not change if only carrying one bike. We have the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack which is capable of carrying one bike up to 45lbs. It uses a fork mount so you will need to remove the front wheel which should easily drop your bike below the 45lb maximum for this rack. The rack is available in the following...

- How to Carry a Bike with a 2004 Ford ThunderbirdI have a solution for you to transport a bike with your 2004 Ford Thunderbird but it will look different than a hitch mount rack because there unfortunately are no trailer hitches that fit your vehicle. If you have a hardtop then I recommend the SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack # 298-BT1004 which mounts directly to your roof without the need of a roof rack. This system uses powerful vacuum cups that have a pull strength of 210 lbs each so it won't be going anywhere. If you have the convertible...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Installation for 2018 Alfa Romeo StelvioThe Draw-Tite # 76199 Class III hitch which is a fit for your 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio does have a pretty involved installation which would require that the rear bumper cover and bumper beam be removed. The hitch would take the place of the bumper beam which won't affect the crashworthiness of the vehicle. Because of the complexity of the installation, I'll typically recommend that folks who aren't comfortable attempting an install of this sort have an auto body shop complete the install....
