Expert Reply:

Although we don't offer (nor am I aware of) a trunk mount bike rack that would have that kind of capacity for one bike, we do have a solution that would work for you.

Your best option would be to install a Class II trailer hitch like the Curt # C12339 and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The one bike rack that we offer that's compatible with a Class II hitch that can accommodate a single bike weight of 70 lbs is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, part # HLY74FR. The Sport Rider SE has a single bike capacity of 80 lbs, so it'll handle your heavy bike with no problem. The rack also features locks to secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle, as well as an anti-rattle function that keeps the rack from wobbling around in the hitch.
