Question:
Hello, I have a Toyota Corolla and I need a rack platform for 3 carbon road bikes with 1-1/4 hitches. Can you help me by sending me options please?

Hi Alfonso; because of the limitations of a 1-1/4" hitch there are no platform racks capable of holding 3 bikes. The only option would be a hanging bike rack which won't work with your carbon fiber frames. What you can do is get a 2-bike rack like the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G and then put one on a roof mounted bike rack like the Kuat Piston SR # KU32VR.
The Sherpa 2.0 works with both Class I and Class II hitches and uses a wheel mount which is perfect for carbon fiber bikes. The Piston SR also uses a wheel mount and has a lightweight aluminum construction. The only down side is if you don't have a roof rack you will have to add one like # IN22NR which is another additional cost on top of the two bike racks.

Hey Alfonso, how did the setup with the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 and Piston SR work out for your carbon road bikes? Your update could make it easier for others trying to carry three bikes with a 1-1/4 hitch.
