My recommendation for the best platform bike rack for a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum - Gray # SH12G. This bike rack has large front wheel cradles that fold into the rack for better clearance when the rack is folded up. It has a front-mounted foot lever that lets you easily tilt and fold the rack. The rack can be tilted down with bikes loaded for cargo access with your 2017 Subaru Outback. This rack has ratcheting hooks that firmly grip your bikes by the front wheel so there is no frame contact. It comes with the hitch lock and cable lock which are keyed alike. It has a lightweight aluminum construction with a glossy metallic gray and orange anodize finish.
