Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2018 Acura RDX
Question:
Morning I have a 2018 Acura RDX and wondering about a bike rack. Is there one that will work well? Recommendation? Thanks!

For your 2018 Acura RDX I highly recommend the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637. This is a really nice 2-bike carrier that features anti-sway cradles to hold the bike frame at 3 different points for a secure attachment and padded feet to protect your trunk from any scratches or scuffs. It can handle 2 bikes with a combined weight of up to 60 pounds.
I do recommend adding the Yakima Cable Lock # Y07233 along with the Same Key System Lock Cores # Y07202 to secure your bikes to the rack and the Security Strap # Y02623 to secure the rack to your vehicle.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this rack that you can also check out.
If you plan on transporting any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have attached a video demonstration on the adapter so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be needed.
