We absolutely have a hitch for you!

I recommend using the etrailer # e98848, which has a 2" recevier that's ideal for carrying a bike rack and the durable powder coating is going to stand up to rust and corrosion for the life of your vehicle. Hitches added to the 2021 CR-V do limit the operation of the hands free lift gate feature, so you will need to get a sensor relocation kit through your local Honda dealer in order to keep that functional.

I've also liked our entire selection of bike racks that would fit in that 2" hitch in case you don't already have one.
