Bike rack for factory cross rails?

[plainsman]

My last Rogue did not have the factory cross rails, so I installed Thule square bars and the associated bike tray. My 2015 Rogue came with factory cross rails. I'm trying to figure out if any bike tray will work well with those. It looks like they are bowed (never really flatten out), so I'm not sure what type of bike tray would work and not sit at an angle when mounted. Any Rogue owner/cyclists come upon a good solution?

Try looking on eTrailer.com, they have a varied assortment of bike racks and associated videos to answer your question. That’s where I got my tow hitch and wire harness from and where I made the decision form the type of bike rack to get for my hitch.

Agree - etrailer is great. Bought my hitch there as well. Super easy folks to work with. FWIW, I wound up with a Kuat Sherpa 2 for my hitch rack and could not be more pleased with it. Looking at the Rockymounts Tierod for the roof. Just have never used the factory rails before, so trying to get a feel for whether or not I should just take them off and install the old Thule square bars. I sure do like how the factory rails look though.

Put on a trailer hitch then get one of these...

Thanks. I do have a Kuat Sherpa 2.0 and a hitch. I bike with friends. Looking for added capacity on the roof, or quick access if I haven't installed the hitch rack and I'm going out on the spur of the moment (I don't leave my hitch rack on 24/7)
