Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier for a 2015 Subaru Forester and 1 Road Bike and 1 Fat Bike
Question:
I have a road bike and a fat bike with 4inch tires. Which trailer hitch rack would accommodate both wheel sizes.
asked by: Mark
Expert Reply:
First, if your 2015 Subaru Forester does not have a trailer hitch I recommend installing a Class III hitch, # 75876. The 2 inch receiver will afford you more bike carrier options.
Then for a bike carrier I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider # HR1450Z-FB which comes with the wheel cradles for fat bikes that will accept tires up to 5 inches wide so it will work with both tire sizes on your bikes.
