How to Tell if Saris Traps Bike Racks Are Compatible with a 2015 Mazda CX-5

Question:

Im interested in possibly getting one of these for the interior cargo space of my 2015 Mazda CX-15 GT. Which length 35inch or 47 of the Saris Triple Track would work best for the CX-15s cargo hold width? Additionally would a 50cm road bike frame that is upright on this rack front wheel off, back wheel on fit comfortably inside the CX-5?

The Saris Traps Fork-Block Triple Track 3 Bike Racks are great for hauling bikes in the back of a pickup, van, or SUV (like your 2015 Mazda CX-5), but since this is a universal application you'll need to take some measurements at the cargo area of your 2015 Mazda CX-5 to see if the 35" # SATRK33-BLK3 or the 47" # SATRK34-BLK3 length will fit better.

You'll also want to try taking off the front wheel of your 50cm road bike and see if it will fit comfortably in your CX-5. The forks will sit about 3" off of the ground when your bike is installed on this rack, and then you can try having your bike facing backwards or forwards just to see which way works better.

For the front wheel you can actually secure it to the bike rack as well with the Bike Wheel Holder # SAWHL1.
