Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry 2 Women's Bikes on a 2016 Kia Sportage

Question:

Hi, I have a 2016 Kia Sportage without a trailer hitch. Im not planning to have one fitted either. Looking for an affordable bike rack for two womens bikes. What are my options?

I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2. It's designed specifically for vehicles that have a rear hatch or spoiler. I've linked a video of it being installed so you can get an idea how it works.

In addition to the rack you may also need a bike frame adapter bar. Since women's bikes don't have the straight horizontal tube like a men's bike does they often won't level or ride as well on a hanging bike rack. To solve this you can use an adapter bar like the Kuat Ubar # UB01 that creates the horizontal point for the bikes to ride level.
