Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Honda Element for Ground Clearance with Mango Bikes

Question:

I have a 2010 Honda Element and a mango Longboard bicycle with the geometry and even with a frame adapter the wheels hang too low with an Allen hitch rack and with another hitch rack that allows attachments on the frame. The issue is the length of the up tube for the hitch mount - I have seen one that looked to be a hitchmount for an RV on an element with the up tube on the rack about 4 feet long.so I figured I could find it but no luck anything approximating this

For a bike rack that I could recommend for your 2010 Honda Element that will give you better ground clearance you would want a platform style rack. This will hold the bike from the bottom of the wheels and will give you better ground clearance.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
