Bike rack

[Scotta7]

Need some ideas for a bike rack to put on my 2012 A7. I know there are higher end roof racks but I am looking for something more economical. It can be roof mounted or does anyone have a picture of their A7!with a tow hitch attached. Thanks.

I have the Audi one with the OEM roof bars, was sub-$100 for the bike rack and fits on the A7 perfectly. I went for the one which you remove the front wheel from the bike for but they do one that you don’t need to remove the bike wheel for too.

Curt makes a hitch for the 2012 A7 but its a 1-1/4" receiver.

Its kinda hard to see but it looks to be below the diffuser so there should be no cutting.

Put some thoughts into it few years back and happy with the solution. Put 2 Yakima FrontLoader Upright Roof Rack Bicycle Carriers on OEM Audi bars. Do not want to remove front wheel every time. Got mine on ebay very cheap. The carrier is very steady, easy to mount, has lock. And what was important for me it holds bike by the wheel, not by carbon fiber frame.
