  • Recommended Bike Rack With A Ramp For Two E-Bikes
  • The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y96FR you were looking at does have a 66lb weight capacity and comes with a ramp but drops down to 40lbs per bike when used off-road. The padded clamps with ratcheting straps hold bikes securely by the frame or seat post. The cradles slide up and down and rotate to fit almost any bike. The Yakima OnRamp also only fits Class 2, 1-1/4" receivers and only Class 1, 1-1/4" receivers seem to be available for your Mazda, so this wouldn't be a...

  • Can the Thule OutWay Carry a Mens and Kids Bike at the Same Time without an Adapter Bar
  • In all likelihood you would need to use an adapter bar # 64005 for the kids bike, especially if it is under 20 inches, on most 2-arm bike carriers including the OutWay # TH56BV. The width between the bars isn't an issue but carrying the bikes level would be. Without an adapter the bikes could be secured but the kids bike would likely be at an odd angle. That is what I have to do with the son's bike. Its really a piece of cake. I have included a link to a video review showing how the...

  • According to Thule, the Quickgrip mounts, that are used on the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box, # TH615, will fit on bars that are 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/8" tall.

  • Fit of Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier S64710 on OEM Roof Rack of 2012 Mazda 5
  • The Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier # S64710 has a front mounting plate that is just under 8-inches wide. You can measure the available space on your OEM crossbars to calculate how many of these racks can be fitted to the rack at one time. Often you can gain more usable space by alternating the orientation of adjacent racks; in other words, face one forward, the next one backward, etc. The rack will mount to your crossbars as long as they are not wider than 3-inches. This will...

  • Roof Rack Feet Compatible with Old Thule Cross Bars for 2008 Mazda 5
  • The Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INXP will work with your older Thule square load bars. To fit on your 2008 Mazda 5, they would also need the Custom Fit Kit # INTR120. Those two parts will work together to make a complete set ready for your square crossbars. I attached a photo of it installed on a Mazda like yours. I don't know what your original Thule feet specs were, but the Inno Feet # INXP have a weight capacity of 165 lbs which is great as I have seen other roof racks in this...

  • Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack and Cargo Box for a 2013 Mazda 5
  • For your 2013 Mazda 5 Thule roof rack # TH7601-TH7602 and fit kit # THKIT3080 will fit. The Thule Force XXL cargo box will physically fit the roof rack however it will be too long and interfere with the rear hatch when you try to open it. It will not open all the way. The largest box that will fit with this roof rack system and not interfere with the rear hatch is the Force XT, # TH6358B. I have linked a video review of this box for you. As far as the longevity of the crossbars you can...

  • Lifting a 2017 KZ Sportsman 150bh Trailer
  • Since your axle still sits above your leaf springs you would actually want to start but "flipping the axle". I couldn't find what axle your 2017 KZ Sportsman 150bh has, but this is easy enough to figure out by taking a measurement of your trailer axles diameter. If it is a 2-3/8" Round Axle then you would want the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. If it is a 3" Round Axle then you would want the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00. What...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier Fit on a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and a 2007 Mazda 5
  • I checked with my contact at Thule and the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH56BV, will fit on both the 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and the 2007 Mazda 5. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Mazda 5
  • Thule does list the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, as a fit for your 2012 Mazda 5. The arms on this rack measure 6-1/2 to 10-1/2 inches apart, outside to outside. If the top tubes on the kids bikes are longer than this, they will fit. Otherwise, you will need to use adapters on the bikes that will not fit. On women's, children's, and alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT to carry the bikes level. The weight of the rack itself is not much, under 19 pounds, so...

  • When the Draw-Tite # 24874 is installed on a 2012 Mazda 5, the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper will be 4 3/4 inches. It will also sit at 12 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver. I included a link to an install we did with this hitch on a 2012 Mazda 5 for you to take a look at as well.

  • Is the SportRack J-Stacker Compatible with the Rola Roof Rack on a 2010 Mazda 5
  • The SportRack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier, # SR5511, will fit on the crossbars of your Rola roof rack. The crossbars on your roof rack measure 3-1/8 inches wide and the J-Stacker kayak carrier will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide. You will be able to attach two kayak carriers to your roof rack, but you will want to verify that the roof of your Mazda 5 can support the weight both kayaks. The weight capacity of the Rola roof rack is 110 lbs. I also recommend checking your owners manual...

  • Why Does a Class II Hitch Mount Bike Rack Not Fit Into a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Mazda 5
  • The length of the shank from the pin hole back to the end of it on the Yakima RidgeBack, # Y02457, is too long to fit in a Class I trailer hitch and have the hitch pin holes line up. It physically will not fit a Class I hitch. It is a Class II accessory only when uses in a 1-1/4 inch receiver. Most Class I trailer hitches have a stop built into them that will prevent a user for installing a Class II accessory and overloading the hitch which can cause damage. I have included a picture to...

  • How to Carry Rooftop Cargo Bag on Mazda5 Minivan with Sliding Doors

You will need to ensure your vehicle has weather molding which you can attach the clips underneath as well. You can see in the linked instructions how to attach the clips. Your options for a rooftop bag are: - Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 10 cu ft # RL100S50 - Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof...

  • Yes, the Thule Trunk Bike Rack, part # TH910XT, which you referenced, is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Mazda 5. It has a weight capacity of 70 lbs. and attaches to the vehicle by six straps for added stability. I have included a video review of this trunk mounted bike rack for your reference. If you will be carrying women's bikes or bikes with a frame that does not have a straight frame for the bike rack arms, you would need to add the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, for each bike with this...

  • Will the Thule Podium Foot Pack Interfere With Sunroof on 2012 Mazda 5 Grand Touring
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and they did not have an answer if the sunroof would open with the Thule Podium Roof Mounted Foot Pack, part # TH460R, and Thule Fit Kit, part # THKIT3080, installed on a 2012 Mazda 5 Grand Touring. I went out in the warehouse and pulled both Thule parts and put them together to measure what the height of the cross bar would be once installed on your roof. The measurement from the bottom of the foot pack on the fit kit to the bottom of the crossbar is 3-3/4...

  • Can a 2014 Mazda 5 Carry 4 Bikes on a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack?
  • For your 2014 Mazda 5, the Draw-Tite Class I # 24874 is the best option for a bike rack and it is compatible only with Class I compatible bike racks. As you stated there are Class I bike racks like the 4 bike Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR that will physically fit the Class I hitch but you will be restricted to 2 bikes because the physical torque on your hitch may be too great. We don't have any 4 bike carriers where the manufacturer will within the warranty say you can carry 4...

  • Roof Rack System for a 2012 Mazda 5
  • This is generally considered fixed mounting points. Prior to making a purchase, you'd want to see if those pads can be removed and if there are any hardware or mounting points actually concealed below them. If you do have mounting points, I recommend the Inno rack, part # INXB123-130, # INXS350, and # INTR148. If you don't have mounting points we carry a Rhino-Rack roof rack consisting of: 46 inch crossbars, #RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver Legs # RRSX100 These will...
