  • Recommended 2-Bike Hitch Platform Bike Carrier for 2015 Honda Fit
  • The Yakima Holdup Tilting Platform 2 Bike Rack # Y02445 will fit only in a Class II 1-1/4-inch hitch. The hitches made for your 2015 Honda Fit, Curt # C11406 and Draw-Tite # 24920, are light-duty Class I types and this rack will not work in them. In a Class I hitch you need to use a 2-bike Class I-rated bike carrier and the linked page will display all items, such as the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650. You can refer to the two linked articles for help in choosing a rack that best fits...

  • Trunk Mounted Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Fit
  • Since your 2009 Honda Fit has a spoiler on it the best option that we offer for a 2 bike, trunk mounted rack is the Hollywood Racks # HRF2. This rack offers several alternative mounting locations that will not interfere with your spoiler. The Yakima HangOut 2 Bike rack that you referenced # Y02637 is listed as a fit, but the Hollywood Racks version would be more suited for your vehicle due to your spoiler. I have included several links for your reference.

  • Curt or Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch For 2020 Honda Fit
  • For your 2020 Honda Fit, between the Curt and Draw-Tite trailer hitches I definitely recommend going with the Draw-Tite hitch: - Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24920 The reason for that is because when we installed this hitch on a Honda Fit, we found that the Draw-Tite had better bumper clearance and ground clearance, which is especially important for accessories like bike racks so they can clear the rear of your Fit and avoid hitting the ground on bumps or steep inclines. The...

  • Will Yakima Q Towers Fit a 2009 Honda Fit
  • I contacted Yakima directly and they informed me that the older Q Towers will not fit the 2009 Honda Fit. You will need to rebuild your tower, though an older Yakima Round Bar will still be useable. To replace the roof rack for your vehicle, you'll need: - Yakima BaseLine Towers, part # Y28TR - RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima Towers, part # Y03536 - BaseClip Fit Kit for Baseline Roof Rack, part # Y06145 - BaseClip Fit Kit for Baseline Roof Rack, part # Y06153 Note that you'll need both...

  • Fit and Compatibility of Kuat Transfer 2-Bike Platform Rack on a 2009 Honda Fit
  • Great news! The Kuat Transfer # KU74FR would be a great rack for your 2009 Honda Fit. One thing you will want to keep in mind when looking at platform bike racks for your Fit is your Class I hitch pin hole to bumper distance and its weight capacity. The distance from the hitch pin hole out to clear the rear-most part of the bumper is approximately 4 inches. This makes the Kuat Transfer # KU74FR a great choice because, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest...

  • How To Carry Three Bikes On a 2011 Honda Fit Sport
  • The best option I have to carry three bikes on a 2011 Honda Fit Sport would be with the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack part # HRF2-3. The Over-the-Top will secure to the trunk and provide a secure attachment point for all three bikes. That said, you would need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005 for any of the bikes that don't have a horizontal top tube. If you wanted to carry the bikes on the roof, you'd need an option with longer crossbars like the SportRack...

  • Will Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack Work With Roadmaster Dual Hitch RM-077-2
  • That's an excellent question, and the Roadmaster adapter will allow you to use the Swagman bike rack you asked about, as the two following parts are absolutely compatible: - Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars - 2-1/4" Rise/Drop # RM-077-2 - Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack # S44FR The Dispatch has a 6-1/4" rise in the shank, so it won't interfere with your tow bar; it is also rated for use behind a motorhome and measures 29" from the hitch pin hole to the farthest part of...

  • Is The Integrated Cable Lock On The Thule Gateway Pro Bike Rack Long Enough For 2 Bikes?
  • The integrated cable lock on the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH88VR is long enough to secure both bikes, not just one. If you wanted to go one step further with security of your bikes and bike rack then I would also add Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers # TH533. This attaches to your bike rack and then is secured to the inside of your trunk so that when you lock your trunk, the bike rack will also be locked to the vehicle. I...

  • How To Use 2" Bike Rack On 2015 Honda Fit
  • In order to use a bike rack with 2" shank on a 2015 Honda Fit such as the Thule T2 Classic you will need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7273 which is the only available 2" hitch option. The EcoHitch has a super hidden design so it will look very nice on the back of the vehicle. It does actually not use any sort of class rating but class III would be most appropriate if one had to be assigned That said, so long as you are under the 300 lb tongue weight rating...

  • Do I Need A Roof Rack To Install A Curt Cargo Basket On A 2008 Honda Fit
  • The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs, part # C18115, is designed to attach to a roof rack. The roof rack is not included. My recommended roof rack for your 2008 Honda Fit will consist of the following items: Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System (QTY 2), part # Y00408 BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4, part...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Honda Fit For Carrying a Dirt Bike
  • With the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 weighing 58lbs and your dirt bike at 185lbs you are below the 300lbs of maximum tongue weight the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7273 is capable of supporting.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2019 Honda Fit
  • Thank you for all of the info! The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11406 is a great choice for a trailer hitch and it fits all US models of the 2019 Honda Fit so if the exhaust on your import is the same as the US you should have absolutely no issues with fitment. When it comes to the Curt 4 Bike Rack # C18030 we will need to look for something different though because Curt lists this bike rack as fitting a 1-1/4" hitch but it needs to be at least a Class II and the Curt you're going with...

  • What Single Roof Rack System do You Recommend for My 2013 Honda Fit and My 2016 Honda CRV?
  • I have an amazing crossbar solution for you. While there are common towers that will work with different fit kits that are specific for both your 2013 Honda Fit and your 2016 Honda CRV, the complicating factor is the crossbar length. All systems that we carry have different recommended crossbar lengths for your vehicles. This complicates the matter because not only will the crossbars potentially not extend far enough on one of your vehicle's roofs, but most crossbars have a limited bottom...

  • Will the Thule Camber Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit a Curt Hitch on a 2013 Honda Fit
  • The Thule Camber bike rack # TH9058 is compatible with the Class I Curt trailer hitch # C11064 for your 2013 Honda Fit. When we installed this hitch on a 2013 model, see video link, we found that there was 3-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the rear bumper. The bike rack will come out further than that so there should be no clearance issues. 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)...

  • Compatibility of Curt Trailer Hitch # C11064 With Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110
  • The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11064 is indeed a correct fit for your 2009 Honda Fit. This hitch will install without drilling using the included hardware but some trimming of part of the wheel well is needed for a secure fit. The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 that you referenced is fully compatible with this Class I hitch. Before loading up your cargo I suggest you check your Fit owner's manual to confirm the vehicle's tongue weight capacity (the weight loaded on its frame where the...

  • Which Trunk Mounted Bike Racks will fit a 2010 Honda Fit and 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid
  • As long as your 2010 Honda Fit is not a Sport model, we have a good selection of Thule trunk bike racks that will fit both your Honda Fit and 2005 Civic Hybrid.

  • Does the Thule Helium Pro Fit on a Draw-Tite 24920 for a 2019 Honda Fit
  • Yes; the Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum # TH9042PRO is designed to fit on both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, so it will fit in the 1-1/4" receiver of the Draw-Tite # 24920. The Helium is a great option for carbon frame bikes since it holds the bikes by the wheels instead of the frames, and I really like that it comes with locks for the bikes and a hitch lock to help secure your investments. I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts...
