Will Swagman Bike Rack S64720 Fit Thule Aeroblade Edge Bars on 2014 Mazda 5
Question:
Hi, I have 2014 Mazda 5 and have already mounted the top rack kit Part Numbers: TH7601-TH7602,THKIT3080. I bought it from you two years ago for a cargo box, but now I want to use it for our bikes we have 4 bikes. Is this bike carrier compatible with my existing rack and how many of them can be mounted? If only two can fit, can we use TH910XT for the second pair? You have already replied to my question that Class 1 hitch may support only two bikes and I am looking for alternate options. Thanks!

The usable crossbar length on your 2014 Mazda 5 with Thule Bars part # TH7601-TH7602 and # THKIT3080 installed is going to be 26 to 30 inches. You could easily fit 2 of your bikes up there with the Swagman part # S64720 that you referenced but since you couldn't fit all 4 I think going with the Thule Trunk Rack part # TH910XT for the remaining 2 would be your best option.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 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.
