- Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Options for 2004 Honda Odyssey
- For carrying 4 or 5 bikes, you will need a hitch mounted bike rack which would require the installation of a hitch on your 2004 Odyssey. I would recommend the Curt Class III receiver, part # C13068.
For 5 bikes, you would be limited to a hanging-type rack, where the bikes would be suspended from the rack by their top frame tube. The bike frame tube will sit in padded cradles and will be secured with sturdy rubber straps. Many racks use an additional anti-sway strap that wraps around the seat

Questions from Honda Odyssey owners about this product
- Differences Between Softride Dura # SR26247 and Thule Vertex # TH9029
- Since both the Softride Dura and Thule Vertex use a threaded hitch bolt that draws the shank tightly against the side of the receiver, both bike racks will be very stable in the receiver and should not move around on you. The Dura includes a lock that attaches to the hitch bolt, while with the Vertex the lock # THSTL2 is sold separately.
When overstretched, the straps on the Dura are more prone to breakage. I always tell folks to resist the temptation to tighten the straps as tight as humanly

- Recommendations for a 5 Bike Carrier on a 2010 Honda Odyssey and Tips on Softening Rack Straps
- We have bike racks that fit the requirements you need, but let me address your concern regarding the straps first. The straps on the bike carriers we carry must be durable to ensure safe and secure transportation. While the straps tend to be stiff at first, they will become softer over time. Another tip is to either place the straps in direct sunlight or indoors prior to transport. This will allow the straps to soften before you need to use your bike rack.

- 5-Bike Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack for a 2012 Honda Odyssey
- For real. On any bike rack, you will have to adjust the pedals or make other adjustments when loading the bikes, and the Vertex 5 # TH9030 is no exception, when mounting them. But once they are mounted and the anti-sway cradles are in place, the bikes will not rock into each other and get tangled up.
Also keep in mind that if any of the bikes have an alternative shaped frame (not round), or do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across, you will need an adapter bar, # TH982XT, in or

- Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying 5 Bikes on a 2010 Honda Odyssey
- Since you have childrens bikes, which have smaller frames, I would recommend a single arm bike rack that will fit your bike frames easier than a dual arm bike. This hitch will work on a Class III hitch that has a 2 inch opening.
I would recommend you get a Swagman Hitch Bike Rack # S64970. This single arm rack should work well for carrying your childrens bikes. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.

- Trailer Hitch Mounted 5 Bike Rack Recommendation that Can Hold 2 Childrens Bikes and Adult Bikes
- The weight capacity on the Thule Vertex 5, # TH9030, is 150 pounds. That would be 30 pounds per bike. The average adult bike weighs about 30 pounds. Provided that the combined weight of all 5 bikes does not exceed this 150 pound limit the rack can handle the weight. The Vertex and Apex, # TH9026, have the highest capacity of any of the 5 bike models we carry, see link.
Regarding the childrens bikes, measure the length of the top frame tubes. If they are greater than 12-3/8 inches, they should

- Compatability of the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack Mounted on a Travel Trailer
- The Swagman XTC4 Cross Country 2-Bike Rack, item # S64665, is not designed to be carried behind a trailer of any kind. The ride behind a trailer is significantly rougher than the ride when attached directly to the towing vehicle. The instructions for the bike rack state that, the purchaser is advised that the load created by rack and bicycles will exceed the strength of trailer or 5th wheel bumper, mounting location or the bike rack. The rack is not under warranty if mounted in this location.

- Folding Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Honda Odyssey that has Clearance to Fold Up
- With the hitch on your 2007 Honda Odyssey you will have a distance of 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. So you will need a fold up rack that when folded up will have a distance of greater than 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest upright bar.
There is a rack available that has enough clearance, but the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack # S64665 only has a distance of 3 inches when folded so it would not work for you.

- Will Swagman XTC4 Wheel Mount Bike Carrier work on a 2001 Honda Odyssey

- For real. On any bike rack, you will have to adjust the pedals or make other adjustments when loading the bikes, and the Vertex 5 # TH9030 is no exception, when mounting them. But once they are mounted and the anti-sway cradles are in place, the bikes will not rock into each other and get tangled up.
Also keep in mind that if any of the bikes have an alternative shaped frame (not round), or do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across, you will need an adapter bar, # TH982XT, in or

- Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Honda Odyssey and 2007 Nissan Sentra
- The Thule Platform Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Rack, # TH9003, and a host of other trunk mount bike racks will fit the 2007 Nissan Sentra. But, there are no trunk mount bike racks that will fit the 2008 Honda Odyssey because there are not enough safe attachment points on the van for a trunk mount bike rack.
Sine you are looking for something that will fit both vehicles, the best option is going to be to equip trailer hitches on both vehicles and use a hitch mount bike rack.

- Trunk Mounted Bike Racks for a 2004 Honda Odyssey and 2006 Honda Accord
- I do have a bike rack that will work on both your 2004 Honda Odyssey and 2006 Honda Accord, but the Thule Raceway # TH9002 that you referenced is not confirmed to work on your Odyssey. It will work on your Accord though.
For a rack that is similar to the # TH9002 that is confirmed to work on both of your vehicles you would want a Yakima QuickBack 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack # Y02622. This rack is one of the easiest to install that we offer and has anti-sway cradles to prevent bike contact. Chec

- Using Trunk Mounted Bike Rack on Honda Odyssey
- Thule does not recommend using any rear strap-mounted bike rack on the Odyssey, due to the fact that the rear hatch that the rack would attach to is not strong enough to bear the weight of the rack and the bikes.
Yakima indicates that a strap-mounted rack may be used on the 1999-2004 model years only. If your Odyssey falls into that range, Yakima offers the QuickBack 3 Bike Rack, part # Y02622. This rack is not only very easy to install and remove, but it is also good looking.

- What are the Options for Transporting Bikes with a 2011 Honda Odyssey
- I believe I have a hitch recommendation for your 2011 Honda Odyssey, but I checked with all of our trunk mounted bike manufacturers and none of them recommend the use of a trunk mounted bike rack on your vehicle.
I believe the best option you have for carrying bikes with your vehicle would be to have a hitch installed on your vehicle and then get a hitch mounted bike rack.
For a hitch I would recommend you get a Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 87479. This is a Class III hitch that would work

- Will Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 87479 Scrape the Ground When Installed on a 2005 Honda Odyssey
- With the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch, # 87479, the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver tube is approximately 11-1/4 inches. That would mean you would have about 9 inches from the ground to the bottom of the hitch (these measurements vary from vehicle to vehicle). That is a decent amount of clearance but on a steep enough incline or bad enough dip, some contact could occur. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video installation below.

- Will Thule Hatch Mounted Bike Rack # TH910XT Fit a 2008 Honda Odyssey
- There are not any Trunk/Hatch mount bike racks available for the Odyssey. The hatch design is not strong enough to hold the weight of the rack and bikes where it belongs. The simplest, strongest and safest option would be to install a hitch on the vehicle and use a hitch mounted bike rack. I would recommend using part # 87479. This is the best option because the 2 inch opening will allow the greatest selection of bike racks and other hitch accessories like a cargo carrier.
