Will Thule Hatch Mounted Bike Rack # TH910XT Fit a 2008 Honda Odyssey

Expert Reply:

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.

As far as the bike racks themselves, there are many options to choose from that would fit the hitch I recommended. You should check out part # TH971XT, # 59403 or # S64910-2. The last one will work with either a 2 inch or a 1-1/4 inch hitch, depending on what you choose.

You may also need a bike adapter bar like part # 64005 to adapt the frame of a womens or other alternative frame bike style to fit the particular type of bike rack.

You can view all the bike racks we offer at the link provided, as well as some additional information on the # 87479 and choosing the correct bike rack for your application.
