Roof Rack and Bike Carrier for 2012 Hyundai Veloster with Center Exhaust  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Since the 2012 Hyundai Veloster has center exhaust I do not recommend using a hitch mounted bike rack. The heat from the exhaust could damage the bike rack and bikes. The best option for carrying bikes on your Veloster is to use a roof rack.

The roof rack that fits your vehicle is the Yakima system consisting of:

Jetstream bars 50 inch # Y00425
Baseline Towers # Y28TR
BaseClip 180 # Y06180
Baseclip 127 # Y06127

You could carry 2 bikes easily. Three bikes would require the center bike to face backwards. You will also need bike racks for each bike. For an inexpensive fork mount option we have # S64710. For a frame mount we have # TH598004. I have linked videos of both bike racks for you.
