Hey Michael, so the Hollywood Racks Destination part # HLY94FR is not ideal for a carbon bike as it would need to grab the bike by the carbon frame which is most likely going to cause some damage. A better option is a bike rack that grabs the bikes by the tires like the Swagman Okanagan 125 part # S36SR which is a similar in price as I can find to the Destination.
