The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH910XT, is verified to be a good fit for your 2013 Ford Focus ST Hatchback.

This carrier has a capacity of 2 bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each. The carrier features 6 attachment straps to secure the carrier to your Focus and also has the patented FitDial system that ensures a proper fit on your vehicle.

If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.

For added security and to help deter theft I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap, part # TH533. This simply loops around the bike carrier and then the puck end is closed inside the trunk or rear hatch.
