So that feature that I mentioned was the tilt-away feature. more

So the Curt Premium is a hanging rack that I would recommend for people that are taking around family bikes, as well as maybe your mountain bikes because of the unique way this is designed. Now, when possible, I do recommend taking a look at the platform racks we have available for your CX-9, but I also understand that the hanging rack is preferred by someone because it takes up less space, as well as is lighter than most racks. So, here we have the four bike version. This is also available as a five bike version, which is awesome if you want to get more bikes around. With this in place, you have one and two of your normal size cradles, but notice how the arms pivot into where they're closer together. more

To do so, you pull this lever right over here and you just drop that bike rack down and you'll want to tilt it away if you want to access your hatch. So, as you can see here on our Mazda CX9, we actually have plenty of clearance between our door and our handlebars, allowing us to get into our trunk, we can grab our bags, or grab our helmets or grab a water, all of that without having to take our bike rack or our bike off. more
