You've got a lot of great options at a lower price point than Thule racks, though their integrated hitch pin and lock features common to their racks are quite handy. I've linked all of our two bike platform racks that will be compatible with your Curt Class I hitch, part # C11391.

Out of these racks, I recommend the Kuat Transfer, part # KU74FR. This U-shaped platform rack allows you to load the rear bike from inside the rack, making it much easier to load the bike. The Curt hitch will also require you to use the stabilizer strap # 18050 when using unsupported loads like a bike rack or a cargo carrier.

I've included a video review of this rack so you can see its features and performance for yourself.
