Cargo and Bike Carrying Recommendations for a 2014 Infiniti Q50

At this time the only option I can offer for carrying any type of cargo on your 2014 Infinity Q50 would be roof rack options.

For that you would want the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RR56QR as at this time there are no hitches available for your 2014 Q50. The Curt hitch part # C11510 that you referenced is designed for 2014 Infiniti QX50's.

If you were only looking to carry a couple bikes there are trunk mounted bike racks available. For that I would recommend the Thule Raceway part # TH9001XT.

What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 4 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.

The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position to deter theft of the rack. And there is also an integrated cable lock in the last bike position to deter bike theft.

This rack also features the latest and greatest in cradles. The cradles have road dampening technology which protects bike frames better than other cradles.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
