Question:

Im looking for an inexpensive bike rack for a 2014 Honda CRV. since the car is leased, I dont want to fork out too much money as my next vehicle might not be a fit for this rack. Ideally, Id like to spend under $100. Can you recommend a rack for 2 bikes. Also, are hitch mounted racks easy to install or do I have to take it to the dealer?

The most economically priced trunk rack we offer for your 2014 Honda CR-V that is actually still a really nice rack is the Saris Bones part # SA805BL. For the price you really can't beat this rack. Plus it has all of the nicer features that the more expensive racks have like adjustable arms and anti-sway cradles at a much nicer price. Check out the review video I attached 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 Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 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.
