Question:
I have the Curt 11424 installed on my 2017 Elantra. Can you recommend a 2 bike rack? I prefer platform style and lightweight would be nice too.

I have the perfect solution for you. When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11424 on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra we found that from the hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of the bumper measured 4-1/2". This is an important measurement because it can help us determine if the bike rack will fit properly or not. Please note that per the Curt warranty a support strap, like part # 18050, must be used for all non-trailer loads like a bike rack.
The bike rack that I recommend going with is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. This bike rack comes in Black # SH12B, Gray # SH12G, and Pearl # SH12P depending on what you think would look best with your vehicle.
I like the Sherpa 2.0 because it is an aluminum platform rack which means it is lightweight (weighs under 30 lbs) and will do an excellent job at resisting rust and corrosion. The Sherpa 2.0 is a wheel mount rack which means it is compatible with any bike that does not have a fender on it. This bike rack has the standard tilting and folding features (which are compatible with your vehicle/hitch combination) and it also has bike and rack locks to secure your equipment and deter theft.
I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you to check out as well.
