Bike Rack Recommendation for Mountain Bikes with Carbon Frames
Question:
Looking for a recommendation for a 2 bike platform bike rack for a Tesla model Y. I have a carbon framed Mt bike. Most rides within 30 miles of my house.

Since you have carbon framed bikes you'd want to go with a bike rack that only touches the bikes tires so as to protect the delicate frame material. For that I really like the Kuat NV bike racks like the part # BA22B for if you have a 2 inch hitch on your Tesla or the part # BA12B for if you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
This is a really well made rack that is easy to use, is lighter weight, looks great and only touches the bikes at the tires.
