Published 12/08/2021
Question:
I have a ‘21 Subaru Forester. Will a Thule helium 971XT bike rack work with the Drawtite trailer hitch receiver class 2, 1-1/4 inch.

Expert Reply:
Yes, Thule Helium bike racks, including your model 971XT, are 100 percent compatible with the 1-1/4 inch receiver on the Draw-Tite hitch that fits your 2021 Subaru Forester, which is the following part number:
- Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36671
The # 36671 is a Class II, like you mentioned, so there are no restrictions on a bike rack - so long as it has a 1-1/4 inch shank, it can be installed and used in the hitch.
