Question:

I am reviewing your bike racks and I Would like a bike rack with the platform bottom. Is any class one rack with platform compatible or is it possible that a class one would not work. What would be your recommendation for me As I am looking for something that will be light enough to handle on myown

For your 2012 Honda Fit, the Class I hitch we carry # C11064 has a measurement of 3-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost part of the bumper. This measurement is important to ensure we get you a bike rack that will fit and function properly.

We have many platform bike racks that will fit Class I trailer hitches and I've attached the link to all of those options. The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650 is a very lightweight rack at around 29 lbs and is compatible with a Class I hitch. This rack has a measurement of 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack, so it will fit and give you 7-1/4 inches of bumper clearance along with a 3 inch shank rise for better ground clearance.

This platform rack is the lightest we carry and will work well for your application.

This rack does not come with the locks, so I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks # S64031
