So if you do need that little extra capacity you might consider checking out the Rocky Mounts Monorail. more

CURT Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Mazda CX-5- Video

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer.com Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Curt Premium hanging style bike rack here on our 2018 Mazda CX-5.

One thing I will caution you against though is that if you do have an alternative frame bike with you, you will still need an adapter bar for that probably to get that right fit on your bike rack. more
