This Prius contender is back in production and our customer wanted to keep its aerodynamic shape while transporting up to two bikes. The only option in this case is to install a trailer hitch. We sell a very high quality hitch made by Curt Manufacturing (see our website for your hitch).
This Curt Trailer Hitch 11051 is tucked out of the way, and finishes just inside the bumber.
The hitch has an 1-1/4″ receiver, a tow rating of 2,000 lbs and a tongue capacity of 200 lbs.
Summary: The best way to carry bikes, without greatly altering the aerodynamics of your car, is with a hitch mount bike rack. Rack Attack sells a great trailer hitch, which can be installed by our professional staff.
Pro’s: Save your back from lifting bikes on top of the vehicle, minimize wind resistance by putting the bikes behind the car, save your bikes from clashing with garage doors or low hanging tree limbs.
Con’s: Two step process in which you will first need a hitch, then a hitch mount bike rack. Some hitch mount bike racks can be heavy (Thule’s Helium is really lightweight!).
