Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with a Spoiler
Question:
You say the saris bones 2 fits a 2018 subaru crosstrek but in small print it states without spoiler. Will it fit my 2018 crosstrek with spoiler ? Thanks

We do have a solution for you but the Saris Bones # SA805BL will only fit a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek if it does not have a spoiler.
Since your Crosstrek does have a spoiler the best solution is to install a hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. This actually makes the bike rack quicker and easier to install plus it means you don't have to worry about the bike rack making contact with your vehicle. I recommend going with the following hitch and bike rack:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912
- Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR
The hitch compliments any black accents on your Crosstrek but is also hidden aside from the receiver, and the Destination bike rack is one of the hidden gems we have here at etrailer. This is a bare-bones type of bike rack that gives you the essentials in an affordable way.
I've attached some videos for you to check out.
