The design of the 2013 Honda Odyssey does not work for trunk mounted bike racks. Your only option, without installing a hitch, is a suction cup type rack like the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted - Black # 298-BK1910-BK.

I recommend installing a hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270. This would allow you many choices for a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Camber # TH9058 as a great example. With this setup, I also recommend an adapter like # HRBA-PRO to make loading your bikes easier.

No. The Thule Camber #TH9056 has a 37.5lbs per bike capacity and going over that would put stress on the arms of the rack that would likely break it, so you won't be able to carry a 50-lbs bike on it. Hanging racks are generally going to top out…

Answer 8

The hitch specs of the Thule Camber #TH9056 are written in a way that could be confusing. So the line in the description is: Application: 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" (Class I and Class II) and 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers What this means…
