Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Hyundai Veloster
Question:
My friend and I are doing a road trip in my Veloster. I installed your Class I hitch and now Im trying to figure out which bike rack would work with my car best. There would be two, rather large mountain bikes to hook up.

The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a combination anti-rattle hitch lock/cable lock is available separately as part # S64031.
This rack can accommodate bikes with wheelbases that are up to 66 inches so it should work well.
