Expert Answers about Honda Insight
- Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a Honda Fit
- Yes there is as long as your Honda Fit isn't a Sport model, the Thule Passage Bike rack part # TH910XT that you referenced is confirmed as a fit.
However, the bike rack I would recommend is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack part # TH45JV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and super easy.
This rack also features locks...

- I am happy to help. It looks like your 2013 Insight has a class I 1-1/4" hitch which limits your options. I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack item # TH903202. This is a frame mounted bike rack that will secure your bikes using padded clamps. These clamps work great with alternative framed bikes. It is also the best option for bikes with fenders because it completely avoids the wheels.
The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack item # TH903202 fits class I, II, and III hitches. It has a 65...

- The roof rack I recommend for your 2011 Honda Insight is the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # RR34GR. This is a sleek aero design crossbar for the factory look and less wind noise than other options. It is a custom fit for your Insight.
For the Yakima roof rack to carry luggage I recommend a roof basket like the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket, part # Y07070. This basket weighs just 25 lbs and the inside dimensions are 38-1/2 inches long x 38-1/2 inches.

- We have an easier to install set of tire chains that will fit your tire size 165/65R14, but none of them are made by Thule.
Check out the Titan chains part # TC1515. These chains are priced great and are actually pretty easy to install. I had the chance to install this set and was surprised how easy they were to install considering the price difference between them and the more expensive Thule chain.
You will want to check the owners manual of the vehicle you plan to install these on...

- One of the universal bench seat covers is going to be your best bet for your 2013 Honda Insight. We have gray # AA3146G, black # AA3146B, and brown # AA3146BR. Please note that because they are universal they won't be an exact fit.
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Device for a Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Bike Rack and Curt Class I Trailer Hitch
- Most 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch accessories have a solid shank. So any accessory that does have a solid shank cannot accept and anti-rattle device and lock like # SHP2082 because part of this device is meant to fit into a hollow shank.
But not to worry because there is another option. You can use anti-rattle device # RM-061-125. This device is very simple. Basically it hooks around the collar of your hitch receiver and tightly hugs the accessory to reduce or even eliminate excess movement....

view full answer... - How does the ThuleOutWay Platform 2 Install on a 2014 Honda Insight
- In the installation instructions of the Thule OutWay Platform 2 Bike Rack, # TH65JV, the upper support strap will connect in the gap at the front edge at the top of the hatch door. The clip should not have any contact with the glass in your hatch back door.
The strap may contact the glass, but the actual mounting point will be at a body joint on your vehicle.
However, Thule does state that when the carrier is mounted to your Honda you will not be able to use the rear wiper blade.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Mount Bike Rack for 2011 Honda Insight
- The trailer hitch receiver we have to fit your 2011 Honda Insight is the Curt # C11051. Curt does require using a support strap when you're using a bike rack with this hitch. The strap is # 18050. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what rack you're carrying the strap is still required.
The Swagman XC # S64650 is a great choice for a rack. It's extremely popular and has great reviews. The only thing I would suggest you consider is a folding rack. This way you would be able to access...

view full answer... - Cargo Carrier Available that Can Fit Curt Class I Hitch C11051
- We have cargo carriers designed to be used on Class I hitches like the Curt # C11051 that you referenced.
The most popular option would be the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. This carrier has a higher capacity than the hitch but as long as you stay under the hitch's 200 lb capacity you would be just fine.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a cargo...

view full answer... - Difference Between Inno Roof Racks that Fit 2011 Honda Insight
- Different crossbar lengths for vehicles like your 2011 Honda Insight are available to give people more options. Some prefer longer bars to try and fit as much as they can on the roof and some prefer shorter for sleeker look or to minimize wind noise. Now there are two basic styles of Inno racks for your vehicle. The flush bars that are shorter (42 inch) which the bars do not extend past the feet of the rack and through bars that have the bars that extend past the feet.

view full answer... - Will the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Honda Insight
- Yes, the Thule Passage 2 trunk mount bike rack # TH910XT will fit your 2011 Honda Insight. The adapter is recommended so that you can carry the bike more level and have better ground clearance. It also makes it easier to mount the bikes.
I have to use 2 of adapter # TH982XT and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all. I have linked a video review of the rack and a video showing how the adapter works.
view full answer... - How to Carry 2 Bikes on 2020 Honda Insight Touring
- I may have an alternative solution for you, but there are not currently hitches available for the 2020 Honda Insight at this time. If you're able to remove the batteries to get your bikes at or below 35-lbs each you can use the Saris Bones # SA805BL to carry your bikes. This is a trunk mounted rack that uses ratcheting anti-sway straps to secure and stabilize your bikes.
This would be the only available alternative to carry bikes on your 2020 Honda Insight Touring without using a roof rack.
view full answer... - Hitch Availability for 2021 Honda Insight
- Neither Curt nor Draw-Tite currently have any trailer hitch fits in development for the 2021 3rd generation Honda Insight. This model has been around since the 2019 model year, so the fact that there isn't a hitch fit yet would tend to indicate they do not have plans on producing a hitch for the vehicle.
If you were needing the hitch for a bike rack, Saris offer a trunk mounted bike rack fit for your vehicle that might be a good option for you. The Saris # SA805BL Bones trunk bike rack...
view full answer... - Can You Use A Hitch Mounted Bike Rack On 2020 Honda Insight?
- I do have a solution for you, however, there is not a receiver hitch available for your 2020 Honda Insight.
We do offer the trunk mounted Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL for your vehicle. However, this bike rack is limited to 35lbs per bike (all trunk mounted racks have this 35lb capacity), and your ebike likely weighs more than that. You could remove the batteries from your bikes when transporting and this would lower the weight, possibly under 35lbs each depending on the weight of...
view full answer... - Recommendation for 2 Bike Rack To Fit a 2011 Honda Insight
- I would say that the Yakima FullBack rack, item # Y02633, that you mentioned would be the best choice for your vehicle. Yakima recommends this rack for your vehicle and notes that the hooks installed in the bike rack work with glass hatches.. Yakima physically tests their racks on the vehicles they recommend them for.
The Thule Passage, # TH911XT, rack is recommended by Thule, but does not include a glass hatch hook like the Yakima rack does, so I would vote for the Yakima rack in this...
