The Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR is a fit for all models of the 2022 Honda CR-V so it'll work great for your EXL Hybrid! Please note that your CR-V should have a function where the rear wiper turns on when you have the wipers active and you put your vehicle in reverse. Be sure to turn your wipers off prior to backing up so the rear wiper doesn't hit the bike rack and damage both of them.

Also, if any of your bikes doesn't have a horizontal top tube you'll need to use an adapter bar like part # SA3040 so the bike(s) fit and stay level.

I have a 2018 crv. The saris bones ex fitment notes says I have to replace side straps with the hatch hugger. Pics I’m seeing on the internet looks like the standard clips are used on the side straps. Do I need the huggers? Thanks

@Ed In order to use the Saris Bones EX bike rack # SAR83FR or # SA803 you'll want to use the Hatch Huggers # SAR88MR. You might be able to get the clips to work, but in my experience with truck mount racks, you'll need to use the hatch huggers in order for it to fit properly.

Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out. Putting a higher rated Class III hitch on the CR-V does not raise the vehicle’s actual tongue weight limit. The hitch itself may be built to handle a lot more, but the real limit is still whatever Honda says the…

Hi Jerry, The TST website shows that their cap style sensors like part #TST47FR will work with either rubber or metal valve stems, so the rubber valve stems you have currently will work just fine. If you're still wanting to switch to metal valve…

Hey Carlos. The Curt Hitch item #C13397 does indeed fit a 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid. The hands-free liftgate feature will still work once installed. The only thing that will change is that your foot will need to go on either side of the…
