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.
