Expert Reply:

Yes, as long as you have a hitch installed on your 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 like the Curt Hitch part # C11030 the 2 Bike Rack # S64670 would work well for you.

Curt recommends that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well.

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.
