Class I Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 MazdaSpeed 3

Expert Reply:

First, we do have bike rack solutions for your 2008 Mazda 3, but the Yakima HighLite, # Y02436, will not work with your vehicle. The problem is that all of the trailer hitches available are class I hitches. This bike rack fits class II and higher hitches.

There are several more options besides the Thule Helium, # TH970XT. Take a look at the Kuat Beta, # B202-114 or the Alpha, # A103-WHITE-114 (though this is a 3 bike rack, with a Class I trailer hitch you will still be limited to 2 bikes maximum). I have included a link to a video on the Alpha for you.

I have included a link to all of the 2 bike racks that are compatible with Class I trailer hitches for you.
