I do have an option for you but I don't recommend using a 1-1/4" hitch on a 2022 Subaru Outback, not that there is even one avavailbe (there is not) because it limits you in many ways even if all you have is a bike rack. The smaller 1-1/4" hitch when compared to a 2" has less capacity (both towing and carrying) and less overall compatibility with accessories of which there are far more for the larger 2". I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT73RR. The vast majority of bike racks come with an adapter for 1-1/4" to 2" but if you don't have one you can just use the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" part # HT02.

The weight difference between a 1-1/4" and 2" trailer hitch is marginal at best.
