Will the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Support Trek Hybrid Bikes  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Bike Rack, part # HRF2-3, might require your Trek Hybrids to use an adapter to mount the bikes on the bars (depending on the model, of course).

I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes, part # HRBA-PRO. It will create a top bar to hang your bikes. I've linked to a video review of it below.

Keep in mind that the Over-the-Top has a weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike. Be sure to check that your model of Trek Hybrid is below that.

Is there a better option or carrier that will fit a 2017 Camry? The 2 Trek bikes weigh about 37lbs each and the smaller bike around 25lbs

Because your Treks weigh over the capacity of Over-the-Top, you are correct that you won't be able to use it. In fact, all of the trunk mounted carriers have this capacity, so you won't be able to use one on your Camry. Instead, you'll have to use a hitch-mounted carrier. I recommend the SportRack Pathway Deluxe, part # SR2703. It's a hanging-style rack like the trunk-mounted ones except it fits into 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. It fits Class 1 - 3 hitches, so whichever you have for your Camry should work. I've linked to a video review of this below. If you don't have a hitch, I recommend the Curt Class 2, part # C12107. It has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds, so it can handle your bikes and the rack with no problem. I've linked to a video installation of this as well.
