Recommended Hitch Mounted Platform Style Bike Carrier For 2016 Acura MDX

Question:

I am looking for the very best and reliable bike rack for a 2016 MDX. Price is not important. I am looking for the best on the market. I was looking at Thule. Two bikes only. Thank you for the information.

Thule reps were here not long ago and we were able to take a look at some of the platform bike racks they have.

I recommend the Thule T2 Pro 2 Bike Platform Rack, part # TH83JV for your MDX. I have attached a link to a review video for this bike rack you can check out. As the video shows, you can tilt the rack with the bikes loaded for access to the rear cargo area. The rack has a weight capacity of 60-lbs per bike and also features locks to secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to the trailer hitch. This bike rack weighs 50-lbs.

If at a later time you decide you need to carry more bikes, an extension is available. You would need part # TH9036XT. This adds a 2-bike extension to the bike rack and increases the load capacity to 160-lbs.
