Bike Rack Recommendation for Priority Classic Cruiser Bike for Draw Tite Hitch on 2012 Mazda 3
Question:
Hi, I have a 2012 Mazda3 and am considering purchasing a Draw-Tite Sportframe hitch so that I can get a hitch-mounted bike rack. I have two bikes that are somewhere in between a hybrid and a cruiser: priorityclassic Ive had trouble nesting them on racks in the past - can you recommend a roomy bike rack that would go with the Draw-Tite hitch? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The easiest to load and unload style of bike rack is the platform style. Hanging racks can be a bit of an ordeal getting bikes over the arms of the rack. I checked out pictures of your bike and it is a cruiser style, so a wheel mount platform bike rack like the Saris Superclamp part # SA4025F would be a fantastic option. This rack is also very light weight to make installing the rack easy as well.
This would work well with the Draw Tite hitch part # 24843 which is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback. Check out the review video I attached for the bike rack as well.
