Easy to assemble and attach to my 2015 Subaru Forester. I have been very pleased with the purchase. The bikes are fairly easy to load, although I have only had two bikes on at once (adult and teen-sized mountain bikes). Rack is secure when attached to car, as are the bikes to the rack. Longest car trip has been 3.5 hrs...no problems.

Installs easily to the Saris Bones 2 trunk mounted rack and fits well under hatch door of 2016 Subaru Forester. Two concealed steel cables under durable fabric sleeve. Another good recommendation on ertrailer site when purchasing the bike rack.

2017 Subaru Forester Bike Rack Questions

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Subaru Forester
  
• I can understand your concerns and hopefully we can put those to rest. I'll start off by saying that I've never seen a trunk mounted bike rack that has damaged the rear window or spoiler when properly installed on the vehicle. The great thing about the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803 is that most of the weight of the bikes and rack is going to sit on the lower legs of this rack, which means that the rear bumper and the frame of the vehicle are going to do the heavy lifting, so to speak....

• Weight Limit And Bike Rack For Heavy E Bike On 2017 Subaru Forester
  
• I have a bike rack for you. Sadly the Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style # TH910XT can not handle a bike that heavy. Its max weight is 35 pounds per bike. There isn't going to be an option for a trunk mounted bike rack that can hold a heavy bike or Ebike. Most max out at 45 pounds per bike. However! If you get a etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98839, it is a no drill no weld install. Takes about...

• Fit of the Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Carrier with a 2017 Subaru Forester
  
• The Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Carrier, part # Y02634 is a confirmed fit for the 2017 Subaru Forester. It is designed to work with your factory spoiler. I've included a video of the rack being installed on the similar 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon so you can get an idea of how the rack looks installed.

• Does Carrying Womans Bike with Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack Require Frame Adapter
  
• To carry a womans bike frame with a hanging bike rack like the Thule Passage part # TH910XT you referenced you'd want a bike frame adapter bar like the part # UB01 which attaches to the seat post and steering stem to give you a horizontal attachment point for the rack to attach to. I attached a picture of this adapter in use as well as a review video for you to check out as well. The price is available at the attached product link on this page.

• Benefits of a Hitch-Mount Bike Carrier Over a Trunk-Mount Carrier for 2017 Subaru Forester
  
• On a new vehicle like your 2017 Forester I do suggest installing a hitch to enable use of a hitch-type bike rack rather than a trunk-mount rack. The benefits are many: no pressure on vehicle features such as a rear spoiler, no rack contact with your painted finish, you do not lose use of a rear wiper if the car has one, you can carry far more bike weight on a hitch type rack than on a trunk mount, you retain access to your rear hatch (it cannot be opened with a trunk-mount...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Subaru Forester that Has Spoiler
  
• We checked with Thule and the Raceway part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Subaru Forester with it's rear spoiler setup. That being said if you really want to avoid any spoiler issues the best option is the Holllywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 which is specifically designed to fit vehicles with spoilers like yours. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Subaru Forester with Electronic Tailgate
  
• I have a great trunk mounted bike rack solution that is a fit for your 2017 Subaru Forester with the electronic tailgate, but at this time Thule does not offer any fits for this configuration. Since you vehicle has a rear spoiler the best trunk rack option we have is the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 which is designed specifically for vehicles with spoilers like yours and is a confirmed fit. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without...

• Could Thule Speedway Bike Rack Potentially Fit 2017 Subaru Forester
  
• I really wish we could say yes or no but that bike rack hasn't been made for 7 years and because of that was never tested on your 2017 Subaru Forester without electronic tailgate. Due to how similar the bike rack is the Thule Passage part # TH910XT I would be very inclined to believe it would fit. If not the Passage would be a great rack to switch to. I attached an install video for rack as well.

• Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Subaru Forester
  
• I checked with Thule and the Passage # TH910XT is listed as a fit with the electronic tailgate option. Between the two racks you really can't go wrong with Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633. This lightweight rack is loaded with features and is very flexible in how it mounts so it would be the best option. It also comes with locks for the rack and the bikes making it a better value over other racks. The Thule Passage # TH910XT does not come with locks at all but has other great...
