Reliable, sturdy east to use. Easy set up. We found it quick in store and super happy with it so far

5 AGG88
We bought this to take our 2 bikes out with us. It fits well and doesn ’ t get in the way of using the rink. The bikes feel secure on the rack and it ’s a good price point.

5 Tip 251
This hitch is easy to install. I enjoy the feature where the rack tilts away from tailgate.

5 Mainers from Maryland
Bought this last month so my husband and I could take our bikes around to different trails in Maine. The rack is easy to use and easy to put on and off my SUV. No fuss and low profile if you want to leave it on your vehicle for an extended time. Super easy to fold it down to open hatch.

Love the size. It folds up nice and small. Lightweight and looks very durable. Love how easy to attach to hitch. Appreciate all the built in locks.

5 TO123
[ If you haul bikes regularly, you know how quickly a “ simple ” rack can turn into a headache. The Thule OutPace makes that problem disappear. Sleek, solid, and thoughtfully designed, it gets your bikes from driveway to trailhead without the hassle. Compact and lightweight yet impressively capable, it feels like the perfect solution for riders who want security and stability without dealing with a bulky rack. I ’ ve tried a few hitch racks, and most either wobbled over time, were too heavy, or scuffed up my bikes. The OutPace is simple to use, easy to move and store, and solid no matter if I ’ m cruising pavement or bumping down a gravel road.

5 DM77
I just got this bike rack, and I ’ ve already put it to the test, and it ’s fantastic! It ’s super compact, easy to install, and absolutely sturdy. Putting the bike on or off is super easy, and the bike stays put perfectly. A great deal for the price!

5 ASleepDr
This rack is lightweight, compatible and easy to store. I like the option of 2 hitch sizes built in. Use once so far, on a 2 inch hitch. No significant issues. A bit of rattle with bikes secured. I can store it in the back of my vehicle with no issues.

5 Nwarner
[ The OutPace is super easy to use and feels really solid once it ’s set up. There ’s barely any wobble, even when you ’ re driving over rough roads, which is impressive. It ’s clearly built well and doesn ’ t take much effort to load or secure everything. I like that it folds up cleanly when not in use, too — small detail, but it makes a difference. The design feels really thought- out, and you can tell Thule paid attention to all the things that make using it simple day- to- day.

5 CeeBoog
I have a small truck with a topper. Having bike pads between the gate and topper is a bit tight, and having roof racks on the topper is a bit high for loading and unloading, so these hitch racks are my preferred method. This one has no flaws that I 've come across and is easy to use. It is on the heavier side but I 'd prefer that not being sturdy enough. Fairly easy to setup if you get it shipped. It folds up nicely when not in use such that I do n't have to take it off. Definitely recommend.

5 CB1
Love it! It was easy to assemble. Love the wheels, they make it so easy to move to store it.

5 By the Books
My Jeep Gladiator has the option to place bikes over the tailgate, but when you are only 5' 5 '' this can be a challenge. As well, I recently purchased an electric bike that needed a rack to transport. The T2 Pro XTR is amazing. The ability to push up and out of the way when driving without bikes it convenient. And even more convenient, is the ability to tilt it down out of the way when opening the truck gate. It handles the weight of the ebikes with no problem, and keeps my ride looking lean and mean. Great product!

5 Johnr
I have had the hitch rack for about a month. The ease of taking it off and putting it back onto my vehicle makes this rack ideal. Then, when you add the security of how the bike is connected to the rack gives me peace of mind with my bikes on the rack.

5 Doug
The Thule T2 Pro XTR has a couple advantages over the competition. The wheels make a huge difference moving the rack into position to install on your vehicle. Simply roll to the proper position behind your vehicle and lift to insert into the hitch. Racks this heavy duty weigh a lot. The handle to lift and lower the rack is also much easier to use than the levers most companies use on their product.

This is my second Saris SuperClamp I have purchased. I gave my first one to my son and daughter- in- law so they could transport their two bikes. What I love the most about this one is the tilt so you can get into your trunk as well as the fact that when you tilt it back in you have more space in the garage. Also like the addition of the wheel straps on this. I am 5' 1 '' so it is important that it is light weight and easy enough to handle. I put it together with no problems.

5 snugasa
This bike rack is easy to assemble and loading/unloading bikes is a breeze! The arms do not contact the frame at all... a great feature.

5 MWG1
[ This is my 2nd Superclamp. The first one was destroyed when someone rear ended me. The Superclamp absorbed the blow and saved my car! Two things I like most of that I can fold the rack up and still open the lift gate of my Grand Cherokee and it is easy for my wife to load and unload her bike. Great stable rack that is easy to use.

5 Jeff W
[ This was super easy to put together out of the box. Probably took about 10 or 15 minutes. It folds up out of the way when there's not bikes on it. We have an electric bike that's pretty heavy so I needed something hefty. I feel like this bike rack fits the bill.

5 enzymatic
[ Instillation was simple and quick as is securing the bikes. I used an aftermarket hitch stabilizer for some extra stability. Bikes feel secure in the rack. I took a heavy pedal assist and fairly light hybrid from NYC to Maine and back without issue. The pedal assist has front and back fenders but it was not an issue when securing the bike. I used the built in locks for front tires and my own heavy chains an locks for the bikes when I could n't bring them in and had no issues. It was tricky to find a rack for a 1. 25inch hitch that could solidly secure a heavy pedal assist with front and back fenders and I 'm happy the Saris does this with ease.

Since we do n't leave the rack on our RAV4, I was looking for ease of installation and removal. I use a 3/4 '' socket to drive the bolt, so this is quick. The rack seems sturdy, even thought it has lots of plastic. The straps are easy to thread through and pull. The `` arms '' fold down easily for storage. Love it!

Originally I purchased the traditional car bike rack but with having two mountain bikes the fit was just two tight and the bikes were are odd angles. I returned it to Dicks with no issues and purchased this one. It took a few minutes to setup but for the most part it is pretty straightforward. The rack is not to heavy and works very well. It is not a heavy duty as the original bike rack I returned but I suspect it will hold up just fine. If I was to pick out any weak points it would be the plastic adjustment knobs other than it should be fine.

See all reviews

5 Mtnbikeguy
The new add on works perfect. In addition to increasing the space between the bikes the `` XT '' versions have over twice as much side to side adjustment so the bikes can be off set more. I do n't believe that there would be a problem mounting 4 bikes unless perhaps trying to carry four fat bikes with 197 rear ends. The only issue I have now is the weight. I suppose there is reason to make this whole system so heavy but it 'd be nice if Thule came out with a super light Alloy Premium version... or go carbon fiber like the bikes!

5 Markeymarc
[ As my youngest learned to ride and began joining us on the trails we needed a better way to transport 4 bikes. Going with the T2 Pro( and the add on) is so much easier than the “ hanging ” racks, particularly for four bikes. very solid and stable over bumps and on the highway. If there ’s a downside, it ’s that its pretty heavy in the four bike configuration so less likely to Want to remove the rack from the car frequently.( Two person job for sure.). The integrated cable locks making stopping for a bite possible although they ’ re not long enough for both wheels and frame so for overnight stops With expensive bikes an additional locking setup would probably be wise. You can also order cylinders for the extension to match the base rack so you ’ ll only need to carry one key( strongly recommended.

Really solid and safe bike rack for 4 bikes. To assemble it, the bolt welds protruded too much to slide into the receiver. I had to grind them flush to get the add on to slide in. It can be a 2 or 4 bike rack but it will take some assembly and disassembly to make it work

I bought this two weeks ago, and it is a great bike rack. The only reason I give it a 4 is that it is really heavy. Loading bikes is n't bad, but I wish the Locking curve piece swiveled. That would make it easier to load the bikes. I think it is very secure when bikes are on it. Almost forgot the second thing I dislike about it, is the Locking pin. It is n't a pin, its a screw bolt. You have to buy the malone locking pin if you want to lock the Locking pin. I have a 2023 Traverse and the Locking pin has to be just screwes in just perfect for me to get the lock part on, because if its screwed in to much I ca n't because it is to close to my electrical plug.

5 KINGED
I ’ ve had this rack for a few months, it stays on my car 100% of the time. Some of the negative reviews confuse me because I think the rack does exactly what it ’s designed to do. With any Thule defect issues I ’ ve had with any products, Thule has always stepped up and corrected the issue in a timely fashion, they just require proof of purchase. So far, I ’ ve only had to load 3 bikes, but it worked like a charm. I love the functionality of the swing arm, giving me access to my trunk while loaded with bikes. Our other car has the traditional Thule fold down rack. It works too except when we have bikes loaded. I would highly recommend this rack if the features meet your needs.

5 Grotemuis
We own 2 Pedego electric bikes. It is a puzzle every time to fit the bikes because one tends to forget how. Bikes are scratched because the pedals knock and scrape into the other bike's frame. More space between such bikes would be very helpful.( Improvement tips for Thule design team?) I like the foldability, moveability of the rack and minimum effort to attach to car. Another feature I like is that the rack can be tilted back with bikes on the rack and have access to my trunk. The extra long straps I bought later are very expensive for it just being plastic, I think Thule could have delivered the rack with longer straps to begin with. The gutter guide to roll the bikes onto the rack I have mixed feelings about. They are flimsy, slide around and when stored inside the rack I could n't make them fit very well, they are now parked inside my car trunk. The bike arms, to hold and lock the bikes in place, I need 2 hands to unlock them to move them around to find the right spot to attach to the bikes, all plastic( plastic/nylon?) parts and I wonder how long they will last. I personally need 2 people to load 2 bikes just to avoid scratching and nicking the bikes. But I am happy with my bike rack, it is compact when stored in garage and it has 2 wheels when moved.

5 Susan
It's a great bike rack. It's very secure in my hitch and the bikes are very secure on the rack. They are carbon fiber road bikes so I also use Carbon Frame Protectors. There is very little movement of the rack while driving. Everything locks with one key the rack to the hitch, and each bike's holding arm. And it folds up to a nice small size which is great as I do n't have much storage space. The only issue is the instructions are terrible practically useless. I found a really good video on YouTube which went through everything step by step. The first time I used the rack I watched the video several times. I think without the video I may not have gotten everything secured properly.

Thanks NickHark. Your comments convinced me to go ahead and buy this product. I have nearly the exact situation as you. 2018 Chevy Volt. 2 Giant Trance E 2 eBikes.

Glad I came to the website to check the user manual and noticed your comment.

5 Sweet T
This product is great for any bike especially for any one with lifting inabilities because it comes with a show away ramp. I purchased for heavy DH hikes and my fender covered touring bike. Best part coming from a arm hitch rack style of carrier is no need for an overpriced tip tube adapter. The price is steep but all around worth it!

Frequently Asked Questions For 2 Inch Receiver Bike Racks

A 2 inch receiver bike rack is designed to fit into a 2 inch hitch receiver on a vehicle, providing a secure way to transport bicycles. These racks typically attach to the hitch and hold the bikes in place, allowing for easy loading and unloading. They are ideal for transporting multiple bikes and are compatible with various bike styles.

Using a 2 inch receiver bike rack offers several advantages, including increased stability and weight capacity compared to smaller hitch sizes. This type of rack can accommodate heavier bikes and multiple bicycles, making it suitable for families or groups. Additionally, many models feature adjustable arms and tilting designs for easier access to the vehicle's trunk or rear.

Most 2 inch receiver bike racks are designed to accommodate a wide range of bicycle types, including mountain bikes, road bikes, and hybrid models. However, it's important to check the specifications of the rack to ensure it can handle the frame style and weight of your specific bikes. Some racks may also include features to secure different frame geometries.

2 inch receiver bike racks are typically constructed from durable materials such as steel or aluminum. Steel racks tend to be heavier but offer greater strength and stability, while aluminum racks are lighter and more resistant to rust and corrosion. The choice of material can affect the overall weight of the rack and its longevity.

To choose the right 2 inch receiver bike rack, consider factors such as the number of bikes you need to transport, the types of bikes you own, and your vehicle's hitch specifications. Additionally, look for features like ease of installation, security options, and whether the rack can be folded or tilted for convenience. Reading customer reviews can also provide insights into performance and usability.
