Are There Trunk or Hatch Mounted Bike Racks Available for a 2005 Honda Odyssey

Expert Reply:

There are not any trunk or hatch mounted bike racks available for the 2005 Honda Odyssey. The shape and structure of the hatch cannot support a bike rack.

There are other options available. The most versatile being a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. A hitch will allow you to not only put a bike rack on your Odyssey, but also cargo carriers and many other hitch mounted accessories. We have several hitches available for your Odyssey. I recommend using 2 inch hitches as there are more accessories available for 2 inch hitches than any other size. Our best selling 2 inch hitch for your vehicle is Hidden Hitch part # 87479.

With this hitch you could use any 2 inch hitch mounted bike rack. One of our best selling bike racks for two inch hitches is SportRack part # A30403. Since you were looking at a Yakima rack you may also want to check out their Big Horn 4 bike rack, part # Y02404. I have included a link to all our 2 inch bike racks for you to browse through.

You also have the option of using a roof top rack depending on what equipment your Odyssey came with. You can use racks like the Yakima Raptor, part # Y02085. If your Odyssey did not come with a roof rack on it, you would need to add one to use a roof mount bike carrier. I have added a link to a roof rack page for your Honda Odyssey. Just click on the link that applies to the equipment on your van.
