Question:
I have a 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid touring trim. The YO2634 says its okay for the 2021 Honda CRV EXCEPT the touring model. Why? What bike rack would you recommend for the 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid touring trim? No hitch.
asked by: Lenny
Expert Reply:
I recommend going with either a hitch mount or roof mount bike rack for your 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring because the Touring model has an automated rear wiper blade that comes into contact with any trunk mounted bike racks.
The hitch system will be more cost effective but could potentially prevent the Hands-Free Liftgate sensors from reading foot movements so I'll give you recommendations for both options and let you decide what you'd like to do"
