Excellent and prompt customer service! When I first ordered my product it wasn’t in stock— staff were quick to let me know and offered me comparable products. I ended up waiting for my original order and shipping quick and they stayed in touch with ideas! Thule: The instructions could be a little more detailed. I ended up watching YouTube videos to help me instal. Overall it was easy, and this was the first rack I’ve ever installed and I did it by myself! I was surprised to learn the bike rack is in no way secured inside your vehicle, so.. I store it in my garage when it’s on.

Ordered online, it shipped the same day. Received it 3 days later. There is a little assembly, but, pretty simple. It took me less than 15 minutes to install and no tools were needed. It is adjustable to be used on many different auto types, but, the instructions were very clear about how to adjust it to fit my 2011 Ford Edge. I have used it twice so far to transport my bike. There are a couple of items that are inherent in the design, not a flaw, but, you need to be aware of them. First, you can't use rear window wipers. Second, the back-up alarm goes nuts because it registers a bike less than 6 inches behind you (I tolerate it for the few seconds it takes to back out of my driveway or out of a parking lot). Third, there is a little flexibility, it is held on with straps and clamps, not bolts, so, it bounces a little when you go over bumps or make sharp turns, however, it holds the bike fast to the frame and stays on the car. I use mine to transport my bike on short trips around town to bike trails. On a long trip I would suggest checking that the straps remain tight from time to time during the drive.

While getting a bike rack for a sports car isn't ideal, I really wanted to transfer my bike with my own car instead of borrowing my friend's pickup truck. After hours of trying to find a bike rack that would be good for my 07 Mustang, I decided to give this one a try and I gotta say, it has been pretty good so far. It fits very well over the factory spoiler. One of my biggest concerns I was worried about when ordering a rack for my Mustang was ruining the paint, but the feet on the legs haven't left one scratch. I have used this to transfer my bike at freeway speeds (up to 80 mph) on car rides that typically last an hour and my bike was perfectly secure throughout each ride. For extra security, I wrapped both bike wheels with a ratchet strap so the wheels and pedals wouldn't shift in transit. So far, I am very pleased with this bike rack for the price and quality. I would highly recommend this if you want a rack that is affordable and durable.

Seemingly well-constructed and supported bike rack. It fits my 2018 Toyota Camry SE just fine and I haven't had any issues with sway or even feeling my bike while driving. I've only carried one bike on it and have used it a limited number of times, so I cannot speak on durability and longevity. Although you shouldn't open your trunk while the rack is attached, I have been able to do so with no issue (without the bike attached).

Ford Edge
Ford EdgeFits perfectly on our Lexus CT200h. Only on the old LS400, the side straps have to be fastened to the wheel arch edge, since the upper trunklid gap is to narrow for inserting the strap hooks. Mounting of two bikes is (with some routine) quickly done, and they stay safe even for longer and faster routes. For transporting three (mountain) bikes, though, the design doesn't seem big and robust enough. Nevertheless, the price-benefit-fun ratios are way better than reasonable.

2010 Chevrolet HHRThe side / bottom straps are seriously lacking. It has those straps you would find on a backpack, making it difficult to securely tighten down because of the angle. I'd usually have to pre-tighten them to a certain length, then forcefully shove the whole rack until it clipped onto my car. They really just need to be ratchet straps. Even then, one of the side straps came off while driving after hitting a small pothole and the whole thing dangled to one side - Luckily I was in a parking lot. I've also never been able to fit 3 regular bikes, only 2. It's really only a capacity of 3 if you have 2-3 slim bikes. The rubber is so wide that it makes it nearly impossible to slide certain bikes on. If you have a step thru bike with one of those crossbar adapters, I wouldn't even bother with trying this. Unfortunately I don't use this anymore since I'd be constantly worrying the whole thing will come off whenever I drive.

Subaru Crosstrek Bike Rack Questions
- I have a solution for you.
It's the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack, part # Y02637. It can hold two bikes and works on 2021 Subaru Crosstreks without spoilers (if you have a spoiler, let me know and I will change this answer). It keeps your bike secure by use of the StableCradle anti-sway cradles with ChainStraps.
To use a rack like this with your women's bike, you will also need to use the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, part # Y02531. It will allow you to hang your bike on...
view full answer... - I have a great alternative for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule Passage 3 # TH911XT will not fit your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. With that being said, the only 3-bike trunk rack that is compatible from Thule for your vehicle is the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. The newer design of the OutWay 3 includes 2 padded arms with cradle indentions and padded straps that secure bikes by the frame. In addition, the OutWay 3 include 2 straps with rubber-coated hooks let you...
view full answer... - Technically yes, the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637 will fit your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with a spoiler, however Yakima also states that if any part of the rack contacts the spoiler to not use this rack so it'd depend on how you have it set up.
It'd be much easier honestly to just use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HR1450Z. This bike rack has a 50 lbs per bike capacity, will work with any 2" trailer hitch, and...
view full answer... - I have some great news! I confirmed with Thule that your Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT will fit on your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. However, the main caution is the amount of pressure from the tightening straps using the fit dial. The fit should be taut against the spoiler, but not to the point that it is extremely tight. The fit dial setting for the Passage 2 is 9. I went ahead and attached a video of a vehicle that has a similar spoiler as the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek.
view full answer... - I have a solution for you, but the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount # TH911XT is not a confirmed fit for your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek.
Since your vehicle does not have a factory rear spoiler, you could go with a more affordable bike rack like the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638. Both of these are really nice bike carriers for your vehicle; I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - The easiest solution here is to use a trunk mounted bike rack like the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. This is my all around favorite trunk bike rack due to how it fits on a variety of vehicles. Also I'm a personal fan of their cool arched design.
The reason for this is a class I hitch like you have on your 2020 Crosstrek is only capable of carrying a bike rack with 2 or less bikes on it.
Another popular trunk bike rack for your vehicle is the Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633...
view full answer... - Yes we have confirmed with Yakima that the HangOut 3 part # Y02638 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek if you do NOT have a spoiler.
If you have a spoiler, we do not have a trunkmount rack that would fit your Crosstrek. In that case, you could add a hitch like the etrailer Custom Trailer Hitch # e98912. You could then use a rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This rack carries 4 bikes and has many great features.

view full answer... - For an e-bike that weighs 75 lbs you will need to go with a hitch mounted bike rack as there aren't any trunk mounted bike racks that have enough weight capacity. Most trunk racks have a 35 lb weight capacity.
So with a hitch installed on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek like the etrailer # e98912 you'd need to use an e-bike rack like the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR which is only option that has a high enough weight capacity at 80 lb per bike.
view full answer... - Thule doesn't currently have any trunk mounted bike racks compatible with 2018 and 2019 models of Subaru Crosstrek so I don't recommend # TH88VR. They determined a fit issue.
My recommendation for a similar rack that is a confirmed fit is the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02637. This is a great option if you won't have a spoiler.
If you have a spoiler, I recommend the hitch # e98912 and a bike rack like the Thule Camber # TH9058. This...
view full answer... - I do have a bike rack similar to the Thule Passage # TH910XT that is compatible with your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid but unfortunately Thule doesn't have any trunk mount bike rack fits for your vehicle.
Instead I recommend the Yakima HangOut # Y02637 which is the same quality as the Thule brand and is confirmed to fit your Hybrid model. If you want to add some locks for security then you'll need the Security Strap # Y02623, the Cable # Y07233, and the Lock Cores # Y07202.

view full answer... - In regards to the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR, if you're only carrying one bike it would need to be placed in the cradles closest to the vehicle. In regards to use with a spoiler, it doesn't actually put pressure on the spoiler although the straps may still come into contact. There will be no issues with spoiler use if factory and listed as a confirmed fit.
view full answer... - Yes, we do offer locks for the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR. The 8' Cable Lock and lock Loop for Saris Trunk Mounted Bike Racks part # SAR52FR is a two in one. It locks the bikes to the rack and then the rack to the vehicle. The rack to vehicle lock is just a loop that closes in the hatch and prevents the rack from being removed even with the straps off. The bike to rack lock is a more traditional steel cable with metal lock core.
view full answer... - The Thule OutWay - 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV comes with two keys for the integrated locks. I went ahead and attached a screenshot from the instruction manual that shows all the components.
The reason why the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 appear as an additional accessory is because other Thule accessories (crossbars, towers, roof racks, snow equipment racks, cargo boxes) have the option for using the cylinders as extra security measures.
view full answer... - Due to the unusual shape of the rear of your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek and the larger spoiler the only trunk mounted bike rack we can recommend as a fit is the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2. There is no safe way to install a Thule Passage part # TH910XT.
view full answer... - While the Hollywood Racks Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 will fit your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, you're going to need to move to a platform-style hitch mounted bike rack to accommodate your heavier E-Bike because any hanging-style bike rack does not have the weight capacity to hold that heavy of a bike. Yes some of them have a total weight rating that is higher than your bike, but when you break it down it usually averages to about 35 lbs per bike so the cradles...
view full answer... - The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 is an excellent option for a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. The double hinge design allows for very minimal contact of rear spoilers. That said, you would not be able to open the hatch with the rack installed with or without bikes because the hatch is not rated to handle the extra weight of the rack and you would likely run into interference issues.
Please note, this is the case for all trunk mount bike racks not just the...
view full answer... - We do have a solution for you but the Saris Bones # SA805BL will only fit a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek if it does not have a spoiler.
Since your Crosstrek does have a spoiler the best solution is to install a hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. This actually makes the bike rack quicker and easier to install plus it means you don't have to worry about the bike rack making contact with your vehicle. I recommend going with the following hitch and bike rack:
- etrailer Trailer...
view full answer... - So long as your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek does NOT have a spoiler then yes, you can use the Saris Bones # SA805BL.
Additionally, please note that when using any hanging bike rack like the Saris Bones or Hollywood Over-the-Top you'll need bike frame adapter bar # 64005 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame or you want to carry a small children's bike. The bar will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.
view full answer... - Yes, the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3 is a fit for your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. Trunk mount bike racks including this one cannot be left on the vehicle if you need to open the rear hatch. The rack is not difficult to put on or take off. The first few times will take the longest but once you have done it several times you will be a pro!
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would)...
view full answer... - Since your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek has that spoiler there is only one type of bike carrier I recommend; the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes. These racks have an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.

"I purchased a hitch, wiring harness, bike carrier and bike adapter for a newly redesigned 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Everything arrived in a matter of days and either fit or worked perfectly. Great prices, quality and service support. Rest assured, I'll be recommending you to anyone who asks. Thanks again."
