Recommended Tilting Platform Bike Rack With No Frame Contact For 2017 Subaru Outback

Question:

I have a 2017 Subaru Outback, and I want a platform bike rack with tilt away while the bikes are still on the rack. I also want a rack that doesnt touch the frame. What would you recommend? Thank you.

For your 2017 Subaru Outback, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR to ensure you have a sturdy carrier that holds the bikes securely without touching the frames. This carrier will secure your bikes by the wheels and allows you to tilt the bike rack away from the vehicle with bikes loaded for easy cargo access. The tilt function is a foot pedal that allows you to use both of your hands to lower the bikes safely. This rack comes ith an anti-rattle threaded hitch pin to reduce movement and noise.

I've attached a video of this bike rack on a 2021 Subaru Outback for your review.
