Motorcycle Carrier To Carry 250 Lb Motorcycle on Mazda CX-5

Question

Question:

Hi! I just bought a 2019 Mazda CX-5 and getting a hitch installed next week. I am wanting to haul a small dirt bike crf100 which weighs about 185. Would a UF48-979033 be the best bet? I don’t plan on caring in motorcycles over 250lb. If my research is correct the tongue weight limit is 500lb. I think that’s all correct but was just hoping for some confirmation.

The Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches part # UF48-979033 is your best option to carry a motor cycle on the Mazda CX-5 because it's quality construction and it will allow you to carry heavier bikes compared to the other options. It does have a 500 lb limit and also comes with a ramp that stores on the rack when not in use. I have attached a review video for your reference.
