Hello, I have 2016 vw golf gti two door that I would like to put a hitch on. I would only be using it to attach a bike rack. Do you have any options for this car model? Sincerely,

For your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI the Curt hitch part # C11412 has been confirmed as a fit so it would be a great option for you to carry a bike rack. I attached an install video for the hitch for you to check out as well.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap 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.
