Question:
For my 2022 Subaru Outback, I want a hitch that is hidden/concealed, and will only be using it for a bike rack. Which one would you recommend?

The best option for a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2022 Subaru Outback and has a hidden/concealed crosstube is one from Draw-Tite:
- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT94YR
This hitch has the same bumper and ground clearances as other options such as the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH34FR, but at a better cost while maintaining the same quality, so it is easily the best option as you get the same level of performance at a better value. I have added a photo below showing this installed on a '22 Outback as well.
This will allow you to mount an equally high-quality bike rack, such as the Hollywood Racks Destination 4-Bike Rack # HR4000 or Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Rack # SH22G.
