Question:

I just purchased a 2015 FIAT 500C Abarth and I wanted to know if there was a hitch bike rack solution on account of the convertable top and dual exhaust on my car. From the forums I read it appears that there may not be, but I figured I would ask an expert. I also read one of your answers which may be a solution. I am only trying to transport my roadbike. Thanks,

Yes, we do have a hitch bike rack solution for your 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth convertible.

Let's start with the trailer hitch receiver. Curt offers the Class I, # C11347, for your 2015 Fiat. This custom fit hitch installs with no drilling or welding required. Curt does require the use of Support Straps, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads including bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.

As for a bike carrier, we recently got the chance to try out the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058 on a model vehicle and it worked great. This rack will fit your class I hitch and carry your road bike just fine. The arms fold down when not in use. The Camber 2 has many great features and I attached a demo video for your to check out.
