For your application I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider # HR1000Z-R which is compatible with 2 bikes that weight up to 45 lbs each, have a max wheelbase of 74" and a 3" max tire width. This is a perfect fit for your bike!

Some other features of this bike rack include tilting and folding, an adapter sleeve for 1-1/4" or 2" receiver applications, and an anti-rattle hitch bolt that reduces rack movement in the receiver. Bike and rack locks can be added with the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock # HRLHPTC to help further secure your gear.
