For your 2021 Mazda 3 there is actually only the one option, the Curt # C98BR which is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver; the tongue weight rating is for 200 lbs. Although this has a towing weight rating of 2,000 lbs, it should be noted that Mazda recommends you not tow with the Mazda 3. But if your intent is for bike rack use only, no worries. I did however, want to provide that information in case it was of value.
