Question:

I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring for which I would like to purchase a 2 bike rack. Which of your racks would you recommend for this vehicle. Thanks

The Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier, # TH88VR, is a great, economical option for a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. This rack features the patented FitDial mounting system and it's arms adjust independently to accommodate unique bike frames.

If your Elantra Touring is equipped with a factory spoiler, I would personally go with the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Carrier, # HRF2. The multiple strap mounting options allow you to use this rack without putting stress on the vehicle's spoiler.

If you will be carrying any women's, children's or alternative frame bikes, I recommend picking up the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, or the Hollywood Racks Adapter Bar, # HRBA-PRO. Bikes with small or angled frames can be difficult to load on hanging style bike racks and they can cause ground clearance issues. This adapter will allow you to load the bikes easily and safely.

I have attached a couples videos that you may want to take a look at.
