Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2011 Audi Q5

Question:

I currently try to choose one of the bike carriers for my 2011 Audi Q5. I was wondering if TH56BV fit on my 2011 Audi Q5? If not, what is your recommendations with a relative good quality. I need to carry 2 to 3 bikes. Thanks for your kind answer.

Currently there is only 1 option for a trunk mount bike rack for your 2011 Audi Q5. You can use the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. It was designed with an extra upper arm structure that moves the top straps up and over the rear spoiler on vehicles equipped with one, so the rack does not put pressure on the spoiler and damage it. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.

None of the other trunk mount bike racks will fit your Q5.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
