For your 2018 Subaru Outback with factory Class 1 trailer hitch, I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR. This rack allows you to tilt the bikes away for cargo access and has a unique design to let you load the bike closest to the vehicle with ease without straining your back. The bikes are secured in place by the wheels so there is no frame contact on your bikes.

I've attached a video of this bike rack to assist. This video shows a vehicle with a 2 inch receiver, but this rack is compatible with your Class I receiver with 1-1/4 inch opening as well.
