Hitch Mount Bike Rack for 5 Bikes and a 2015 Chevy Traverse

Question:

I have a 2015 Chevy Traverse with a hitch. Id like to get bike rack to carry 5 bikes for our team for a 5 person bicycle relay. Is there a wheel mount rack that could carry up to 5 prefer one that tilts.

All of the 5-bike racks for trailer hitches are hanging style racks but there are some good options. The best rack for your bikes is the Thule Apex XT, # TH9026XT. The padding on the arms is designed to absorb road shock to keep the bikes from vibrating. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

I have also included a link to the 5-bike rack options for you.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
