Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Volvo S60

Question:

Im looking for a two bike trunk mount bike rack to fit on a 2012 Volvo S60. I will be carrying a womens and a mens hybrid bike. Would prefer a locking rack.

For a locking 2-bike trunk mount bike rack that is listed as a fit for your 2012 Volvo S60 I recommend the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. This is the newest version of this rack. It features 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your vehicle.

This rack can also be locked into position to deter theft and features and integrated cable lock in the last bike position. The locks are keyed the same.

It is also made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. 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. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
