Most excellent bike lock. It is so thin I 'm not anticipating it getting stiff in cold weather. Yay. However, the bike tire I had done there had the wrong sized inner tube by about 12 '' and I had to buy slime from Amazon, so I went to The Bike Shop for my last flat tire. Better tire repair.

This cable lock is nice and compact which makes it great as a backup to keep for on the road. The only challenge is you will have to deal with fighting the coils out to utlize the full length, it was a bit annoying the first use on a bike rack with two bikes.

I bought this bike rack about 2 weeks ago to use for an upcoming trip and future adventures. I transported 2 Bikes 197 Miles holding a constant 75 MPH. There were no issues with the Bike Rack or any damage to my vehicle. I drive a 2018 Nissan Rogue the Bike Rack was easy to install and did not limit my view. The Bikes were sturdy and did not move a single inch both ways for my trip. I highly recommend this Bike Rack as it's affordable and easy to use.

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.

I bought this for the back of our Suburban. We have 3 Adults Trek Mountain Bikes and a Hybrid. I had to 'read' the instructions a couple of times because they are pictures and I took a moment to sink in( LOL)... however, it really could not have been easier to set up and use. It's very sturdy and if you following the weight order and driving( stop every 200 miles and check your straps) instructions, it's an excellent rack! I should have ponied up a while ago to get one sooner. Overall, we are very happy!

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.

[ Showed up in plastic- free packaging which is a major win, and assembly took less than 15 minutes start to finish thanks to good instructions and the super helpful video on the product page. I have it installed on my 2023 Bronco and the rack stays super secure on all terrain. Have used it for MTB, road, and gravel bikes, both my small sizes and my friends larger ones, and adjusting for all of them has been super seamless. Honestly just a great functional product that does the job perfectly( and looks good too!)

This bike rack is awesome and every part of it shows how high- quality it is. The instructions are very clear- my partner and I assembled it in less than half an hour. I put it on our 2000 Chevy Astro van and it fits and looks great. There are no quirks to this bike racks unlike others I have used. The rack accommodates both of our mountain bikes perfectly. It is sturdy and is perfect for roads that are not paved.

5 Sam K
[ The Thule Verse is a fantastic bike rack that combines sturdiness, security, and simplicity. Designed for easy transport, it securely holds two bikes with a strong, hitch- mounted design. It has a great tilt- down feature that allows trunk access while bikes are still mounted to the rack. Additionally, the large ratcheting arms and rear wheel straps keep bikes secure even on bumpy dirt roads. The tool- free installation is another big win!

[ Although expensive, this rack is great. Holds bikes securely and does n't rattle around at all. I do n't have any issues with the arm coming loose like I 've seen on some videos and reviews. It is large also once you have the two pieces connected together. My one warning: I think that it is confusing with the NV 2. 0, NV Base 2. 0, NV Base 2. 0 Add- On, and NV 2. 0 Add- On. I purchased the NV 2. 0 base thinking that it was the initial part of the rack that holds the first two bikes then bought the NV 2. 0 Add- On for the next two bikes. While they do connect together, they do n't match. One is shiny black and the other is matte.

Awesome bike rack. When installing make sure that the two locks are on the top left and bottom right. Also, its critical that you tighten the screws as tight as they will go or the treys will be loose. If you follow instructions you will be very content.

5 Laura
We bought this rack two weeks ago and it arrived quickly with no issues less than a week later! We have already taken it on many mountain bike rides and are extremely happy with the purchase. It is very sturdy and easy to get the rack tight on the bikes which has been a bit challenging with other racks we have owned. We also have a boat, so taking this rack on and off easily was a concern for us. It is without a doubt the best rack we have found for that as well. It is worth the extra money to invest in this rack if you are an avid rider!

5 Molz
This rack is perfect. I could n't be happier. I also own a Vertex rack which is great for my bike but not for my wife's step through frame which is a pain to strap up. This solves that issue perfectly as it's held by the tires and not the top tube on the frame. It also eliminates the bikes banging together while traveling. One other thing I noticed is that I can see out of my rear view camera when backing up again as it's not blocked by the upright of the Vertex rack I had. I love that it does n't touch or scratch the frame when I bring my bike back dirty and probably the simplest installation I 've ever seen. My wife can toss her bike on quickly and easily. Nice touch with the integrated locks as well. Solid while driving and folds up nicely when not in use. Well done guys.

5 SWB
Functionally a little easier than the T2 Pro XT, but quality and looks are a little better to me. Also looks very clean which is important to me. Wish it came in black, but being aluminum I can ’ t imagine it ’s feasible knowing what happens to anodized parts in the sun.

Frequently Asked Questions For Cable Locks for Bike Rack

When selecting a cable lock for a bike rack, consider features such as the thickness of the cable, the material used for construction, and the locking mechanism. A thicker cable typically offers better security, while materials like high-strength steel provide durability against cutting. Additionally, look for locks with weather-resistant coatings to protect against the elements.

Cable locks and U-locks serve different purposes in bike security. Cable locks are flexible and can secure multiple bikes or accessories, making them versatile for various setups. However, U-locks generally offer higher security due to their rigid design and resistance to cutting, so it's often recommended to use them in conjunction with a cable lock for added protection.

Yes, many cable locks for bike racks are designed for outdoor use, featuring weather-resistant materials that can withstand rain, snow, and sunlight. However, it's important to check the specifications of the lock to ensure it is built to resist corrosion and wear from outdoor conditions. Proper storage when not in use can also extend the lifespan of the lock.

The ideal length for a cable lock depends on your specific needs and the type of bike rack you are using. Generally, a length of 6 to 8 feet is sufficient for securing one or more bikes to a rack, allowing for flexibility in how you lock them. Longer cables can provide additional options for securing accessories or multiple bikes, but may also be bulkier to carry.

Yes, cable locks are particularly useful for securing multiple bikes at once due to their flexibility and length. They can be looped around several frames and wheels, making it easier to secure multiple bicycles to a bike rack. However, ensure that the lock is of adequate thickness and strength to provide sufficient security for all bikes being locked.
