## Description

Lightweight aluminum hitch bike rack provides outstanding bike protection and easy-on, easy-off convenience.

Review: Wonderful! - Much better then I expected. We had to replace our bike rack because we couldn't open the rear hatch on our new mini van with it on. I looked at a lot of different ones that would work on our Pacifica. Most of them were less expensive and would do the job, but this one was listed as being a good deal lighter. We are in our 70's and putting the old one the hitch took us both, not fun, so we finally agreed to get this one. It is fantastic! It went together very quickly and I think I could put it on the car by my self if I needed to. It locks to the hitch and there is a cable lock for the bikes. The old rack had trays for the tires and the bikes hang on this one so I imagine that will take both of us to load the bikes, at least it did for our trial run. But that's OK. It holds the bikes well and we are both happy with our purchase. And I almost forgot, it very easily folds away from the rear of the car. Of course the bikes can't be on the rack but that works fine for us.
Review: Rugged, sturdy, stable bicycle rack with well designed bike strapping/integral locking system. - Within a few hours of the box arriving, I had the rack assembled and attached to the receiver on my Forrester ready for a four hour trip. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. I had a bit of difficulty with the locking mechanism on the knob that tightens the hitch mechanism and called for help. Support response was immediate and the individual who answered gave very helpful coaching and then followed up. On my first trip I found the hold down strapping system holding top tubes and down tube held bikes very, very securely. The integral locking mechanism for the bikes worked like a charms. The mechanisms which lock the articulating the arms and the hitch lowering were rugged and easy to use. The overall build quality seems excellent. If you want a bike rack that will last, this is one to get.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is the rack secured to the hitch to prevent the rack from being stolen?**
A: I will attempt an answer. The insertion into the hitch allows a latch mechanism to go into the security hole on the hitch. Then you use the knob dial to tighten the bike rack into the two inch hitch. Once it is very tight, the dial itself has a key lock which once locked makes the dial turn freely without loosening the hitch, thereby making it secure. It seems adequate to me, though obviously a dedicated thief with a hacksaw could cut the latch bar itself.

**Q: Does this wobble while driving?**
A: It will not be completely solid with the hitch but drives very securely.

**Q: Would i be able to take this on and off easily and put a 33 pound bike on it?**
A: Install is easy, the rack weighs less than your bike. After it is connected to your hitch, it can be lowered to help get your bike on their. If you can lift your bike chest high you should be good. That will be your hardest part probably.

**Q: will it fit on a 2'' square receiver from uhaul?**
A: Thanks for checking with Thule.  Yes, it will fit a 2" receiver hitch from U-Haul.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality, lightweight, but has limitations.
*by P***R on January 12, 2022*

I have not yet road tested this rack, and so I'm not yet committed to it, but here are my initial impressions: First what I don't like (thus the reasons for 4 rather than 5 stars): 1. The instructions are only cryptic graphics. There are no written instructions in any language, which just seems like plain laziness on Thule's part. I figured out the assembly, but I consulted YouTube for the locking features (hitch and retractable cable lock). 2. The vertical stays on the cradles are useless with my mountain bikes, which have a shock absorber spring in front of the vertical seat tube that makes it impossible to wrap the vertical stay strap around that tube. I'll use bungee cords or the supplied black nylon strap to keep the bikes from swinging on the road, knowing that there will be bike-to-bike contact. So, if your bikes are new or nicer than my old Raleighs and you don't want them scratched, consider this factor. 3. The nylon cradle straps require some fiddling to get them on and off, mostly because it requires significant, sustained pressure on the thumb tab to release them. This should be a much quicker, easier process. 4. The only folding for storage is at the cradle arms, so it's large and bulky to store. Now, what I like (mostly): 1. It's light but very solidly built. This is my #1 reason for the 4-star rating. 2. Attaching and removing the rack to/from the hitch is relatively easy (though it takes a little wiggling to pull out even with the hitch lock fully turned out), and very secure. If someone wants to steal this rack, it won't be by detaching it from the hitch unless they pick the lock. 3. Using the 2" hitch adapter for my 2" receiver (pre-installed out of the box), once it's locked down, there is zero wobble at the hitch. BTW, you also have to use some muscle to tighten the hinge bolt at the tilting joint to the point that there is no play - once that's done, no wobble. 4. The retractable cable lock is nifty and convenient. However, if you truly value your bikes, I wouldn't rely solely on this lock for long periods away from them. 5. The tilting feature is more than adequate to open the hatch of a BMW X3. Although Thule does not recommend using the tilt feature with bikes onboard, it should still work if your bikes aren't really heavy. 6. The one key system for hitch and cable lock is nice, and it comes with 2 cut keys and one spare uncut blank.
