Helpful Expert Reply:
The Curt Class III hitch, part # C13135 would be an excellent choice for your 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek. When installed, the hitch pin hole in the receiver would only be recessed under the vehicle by 2 inches, which means you'd have plenty of clearance for any Thule hitch mounted bike rack. I've linked you to an install video that you might find helpful.
If you plan on doing any towing with the hitch, you might also be interested in the following items to complete your towing set-up:
Trailer wiring harness # 118467
Ball mount, part # C45230
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260 or 2 inch ball, # 63845
Locking hitch pin, # e98882
