Default Bolt-on trailer hitch for bikes

I have a 2011 Mazda3 2.0i sedan. I'm looking for guidance on a lower end bolt-on trailer hitch, mostly for a couple bikes.

I found this one for under $200: https://www.draw-tite.com/product/24...hitch-2000-lbs

Does anyone know if it will suffice or have any other recommendations?
This is the rack I was looking at: https://www.letsgoaero.com/products/...SD#description

For your 2011 Mazda3, that hitch is a Class I (1¼”) rated around 2000 lbs / 200 lb tongue weight, which is perfect for bikes and light cargo . That’s the key number: bike racks load the tongue, not https://tropical-casino.com/ towing weight.
