Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback

Question:

Id like a 2 bike rack for: Mazda3, hatchback 2017 The Thule Helium Pro looks light weight and may work. Mazda does not have any rack except top-rack located, and I cant possibly load a bike that high. Make it easy for an older woman please! Thanks

For your 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback, I recommend using the Kuat Transfer Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR. The reason that I recommend this is because it is easy to load your bikes onto and it won't require any adapter bar. There is no center section with the Transfer so you can just walk your bike up into the center of the carrier and sit it down.

If you don't already have a trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24914 will be perfect.
