Expert Reply:
The Kuat Beta Folding 2-Bike Rack # B202-114 is designed to fit 1-1/4-inch hitches such as Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24792. Since your 2009 Honda CR-V could be equipped with this type hitch OR a higher-capacity 2-inch Class III type, you'll just want to make sure of the hitch size you have. The linked article will help you with this.
You will also want to take note of the distance from the hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of the car. The linked article on hitch bike racks will show you how to take this measurement, which is important to ensure the rack will fit well at the back of your CR-V and allow enough room for your two loaded bikes. When we installed Draw-Tite hitch # 24792 on a 2009 CR-V we found that the hitch pin hole was 7-inches from the back of the bumper cover so the Kuat Beta with its 10-inches of clearance would fit just fine. If you want to lock the rack to your 1-1/4-inch hitch use lock # e98879 and to lock your bikes to the rack use cable lock # e98891.
If you happen to have a 2-inch Class III hitch then you'll want to choose a compatible 2-inch Class III bike rack. The linked page will show you all 2-inch hitch-mount racks. (These offer higher capacity, up to 5 bikes; a Class I hitch can only carry two bikes maximum.) For a 2-inch hitch you can use the Kuat Beta for 2-inch hitches, part # B202-2, which is shown in the linked video.
If either of your bikes has a frame design without a horizontal top frame tube, such as some women's bikes, you'll want to use an adapter bar like the Kuat Ubar # UB01 to keep the bike level on the carrier. These bars simply connect between the seat and handlebar posts and help you maintain safe ground clearance.
