Will the Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Rack # SA4024 Fit on a 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L

Question:

Seen the video for a 2011 crv with the Saris SuperClamp. Looked for info to see if it would fit my rig with similar clearances

I have some information that will help, however we have not had the chance to test the SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Carrier, # SA4025, on a 2007 Honda CR-V yet. We can determine if this bike rack will fit by taking one important measurement. You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch to rear-most point of your rear bumper (see photo). The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the bike rack on the SuperClamp EX is 12 inches.

On the CR-V, the trailer hitch receiver is usually not recessed behind the bumper very much. When we have installed trailer hitches on CR-Vs, this measurement was usually no greater than 3 inches, so you should be able to use the Cycle-on bike rack without any issues.
