Question:
Will this C13410 work for a 2019 Subaru Outback? Also, in terms of external visibility once installed, is this a model with minimum visible exterior lumbar or other material except the hitch?

Welcome back, Tee!
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13410 will indeed fit your 2019 Subaru Outback. It is a bit more difficult to install than the etrailer # e98847 that attaches to the bottom of the frame, but this will be a lot less exposed. The only thing you will see once the # C13410 is installed is the receiver (see included image). This is a much better looking way to go, at least in my opinion.
This is rated 10 out of 10 for the install difficulty and will take roughly 2 hours to get fully installed. There is no drilling through frame required for this one, but it does require temporary removal of bumper/fascia, and fascia trimming. I included an install video of this going onto a 2019 Outback as well.
Are you still only wanting a hitch for your road bikes? Or are you thinking about towing at some point?

This hitch is installed on my wife’s Subaru Outback (2019). I would rate it as a 10 out of 10. The customer service is outstanding with ETrailer. My son installed this hitch in 2 1/2 hours. We pull our golf cart with it. No problems or concerns. Awesome hitch!!!! Etrailer a great company to do business with.
