Trailer Hitch Recommendation For Bike Carrier On A 2018 Audi Q5
Question:
I need to carry my bikes on my Audi Q5 but don't want some monstrosity hanging off the back when I'm not using the bike rack. Is there an option where people won't be able to see it at all?

We have a perfect solution for you in the Stealth Hitches Rack Receiver # 391AUDQ518 that is a completely hidden trailer hitch. This hitch installs behind the Q5's bumper so the cross tube is always out of sight. In addition to the cross tube, the receiver can be removed when not in use so it perfectly addresses your concern.
If you're also looking for a bike rack, the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR is a very popular option because of it's step through design and lower position, it makes loading bikes easy on your back. As a platform bike rack, it doesn't make contact with your bike frame and also tilts to provide access to your hatch with bikes loaded.
Included are video resources for both of these solutions for more information.
