Most Popular SportRack for 2012 Toyota Avalon

I think this is a simple and efficient rack, but it is not for everyone. Because it is a frame clamp design, you should not mount Carbon Fiber frames or thin walled aluminum frames for risk of frame damage. Thich aluminum and steel frames should not have a problem. My heavy fat bike fits just fine if it's the only bike on the rack. 2 regular mountain bikes will fit in opposite directions. This rack will never realistically hold 3 mountain bikes. (maybe 3 road bikes) I removed one of the clamps, easy to do, makes a cleaner setup. Bikes with small triangles (smaller frames and certain full suspension) will be difficult to mount due to the locking/clamping mechanism size trying to fit through the frame and made worse with bottle holders. I changed out the bolts at the hitch side to make it a rigid rack. There is no need for me to pivot this rack and now has one less thing to go wrong. The threaded locking bolt makes this hitch rock solid with no clunking noises while transporting. The BIG advantage of this rack is storage. It fits behind my seat and is invisible to the passing eye and can be installed or removed in a few seconds.

I just finished installing this hitch on to my 2022 Forester, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. The installation was just like the video that is posted to your site, and the wire feeding tools made it a breeze! I did not have to modify the plastic underbody panel on my 2022. It fit back under the car, and I added a self tapping screw to hold it in place. Thanks for making it so easy!
