Question:

Will the Thule OutWay two bike rack fit a 2012 Nissan Rogue awd sl?? I really do not want a hitch bike rack. If the outway wont work, do you have something else? I have a Specialized women's hard tail 29er mountain bike.

The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack, # TH45JV, is listed as a fit for your vehicle as long as it does not have a rear spoiler. If your vehicle has a rear spoiler, then I would strongly recommend looking into a roof mounted or hitch mounted bike rack. The spoiler that comes with the Nissan Rogue was not designed to support a load and could deform or even break under the weight of a bike rack and bikes.

To carry your Specialized Hard Tail 29er, I would recommend picking up the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. Some bikes with angled frames can be difficult to load on a bike rack, with this adapter, you can load your bike easily and safely.

I have attached video reviews of the OutWay bike rack and the adapter bar for you to check out. I have also attached a link to all of the trunk mounted bike racks that are listed as a fit for your vehicle as long as it does not have a rear spoiler.

If you would like a recommendation for hitch or roof mounted options, just let me know.
