Expert Reply:

It is possible your wife's bike will need to use the Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # TH982XT with the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT that fits your 2017 Subaru Outback.

The Passage, as well as all hanging bike racks, can transport bikes so long as they have a horizontal mounting point. A lot of women's bikes have a step-through frame that does not have that mounting point and using Adapter Bar # TH982XT is needed.

If you take a look at the accompanying photo a customer sent in you can see how they used the Adapter Bar and the type of bike frame that would require it.

I have added links to video reviews of the Passage as well as the Adapter Bar for you to check out. Additionally, I do recommend using Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers # TH533 with this rack as a way to help secure your investment.
