Question:

I own a 2018 Audi A5 convertible. I am interested in a bike rack probably the Thule with rails as opposed to the hanging kind and hitch. What would be my best option for a hitch? Do you have one that doesnt disable the trunk kick-to-open option?

Expert Reply:

We have a bike rack solution we can provide but we don't have a fit for the convertible versions of the 2018 Audi A5 so your best option is the Saris SuperBones # SA805BL which is a trunk rack confirmed to fit your vehicle. One maybe obvious plus to this is that it wouldn't interfere with your hands free lift gate.

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.
