Hitch Bike Rack When In Folded Up Position Allows Access Hatch Of A 2021 Subaru Crosstrek

Question:

Hi, I had a Superclamp EX2 on my 2021 Crosstrek, until somebody hit it in a parking lot in NJ. : I would give the rack a 4/5, but there were a couple of nit-picks - lots of plastic, the retracting cable got stiffer over time, etc. This makes me wonder if theres a better option out there... HOWEVER the Superclamp EX2 has one must-have feature: With the rack folded up, I could open the hatch on the Subie without needing to fold the rack out of the way. My question: Is there ANY other 2-bike hitch rack that allows me to open the hatch on a 21 Crosstrek w/o folding the rack down? THANKS!

After doing some investigation, the only rack we have that meets your requirement, is the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # SA4025F. We have some one bike options that would have this feature, but not any two bike racks.
