Question:

Hello, I’m looking for a 3-bike rack that is safely fitted for an lexus RC 300. I was told to get a hitch bike rack but also learned that Lexus does not recommend a hitch for my model. Do you know of any compatible racks for my model?

After doing some digging, I was able to find one option for a 3-bike trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2016 Lexus RC 300, from Yakima:

- Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633

The FullBack will fit your Lexus, but it is also just a really nice rack with strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points; this ensures your bike won't swing while you are traveling, keeping it steady to protect the bike as well as your Lexus.

I do recommend adding a locking cable to lock your very nice bike to the rack, which you can add with the Saris Cable Lock # SA981.

And finally, since your bike looks to have a top tube that isn't completely straight, jutting down a bit in the middle, you will need an adapter bar to give your bike a straight horizontal mounting point; for that you will need the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500.

I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
