Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2006 Honda Odyssey

The only 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack we carry that is confirmed to fit your 2006 Honda Odyssey is the Hollywood Racks Over the Top Trunk Rack part # HRF2-3. This is a great rack that shouldn't damage your vehicle as long as you stay under the capacity of the rack and install it properly.

The most ideal solution though would be a hitch mounted bike rack since the rack wouldn't touch your vehicle at all. First you would need a hitch, for that I would recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75270. Install video attached.

For an economically priced bike with all the features of the nicer racks check out the Thule Hitching Post part # TH934XTR. This rack has anti sway cradles to help prevent the bikes from contacting each other, a tilting mast, and an anti-rattle hitch bolt to prevent movement of the rack in the hitch. Check out the review video I attached.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
