Easy to Use Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Hyundai Elantra

Question:

I have a 2011 Hyundai Elantra limited and read reviews, will I have a problem with it not staying secured and 3 hybrid bikes? Im also not very good with lifting too much weight? Injured shoulder. Which rack do you recommend? Thanks

The easiest to install and use bike rack that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2011 Hyundai Elantra is the Thule OutWay 3 bike rack part # TH56BV. This rack is lightweight, very easy to install with it's 2 straps compared to the other racks' 4-6, and has arms that are very adjustable to allow for easy bike loading.

You can angle the arms so that they set totally level on the rack and can move them closer together if needed so that frames can fit on them easily.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
