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.

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. Getting a 1. 25 '' hitch installed at u haul on Tuesday. But the guy at the bike store said that this model required a 2 ''. Glad I came to the website to check the user manual and noticed your comment.

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!

Accommodates our two ebikes and two regular bikes. Very stable and strong. Easy to load and unload bikes. Easy to lean back to open car back door. Easy to detach and attach from car by myself but it is heavy, 90 lbs?( I 'm a middle aged male weekend warrior). I can carry the rack balanced on my shoulders and waddle over to our side of the house for storage when not in use.

Fits 4 different bikes with no problems. I out a small xc bike, gravel bike, DH bike and another hard tail bike on there and it was perfect. Can raise and lower with very little effort. Coming in at 70# i believe it certainly is easier to maneuver. Very happy with the purchase/. Tool less hitch receiver works great with included key. Is there anything they did n't think of with this rack? Honestly amazing rack.

This was the first Thule product I purchased. After researching most, if not all, vertical bike racks, this one seemed to have the most features, and looks the cleanest. Setup was easy. The ReVert does n't rattle or sway thanks to the integrated hitch lock. Loading the bikes is very easy since you can( just about) roll the bikes into position. The hydraulic arm effortlessly raises the bikes, and dampens them coming down when tilting the rack down.

I got the rack around a month ago. Bike season is not in full swing yet but have used it a fair bit so far with up to three bikes. Set up was very easy, I did it solo and it was very manageable. Feels so sturdy. The stabilizer in the hitch is so awesome, the rack barely moves at all. The damper is really strong which is great when the rack is loaded but when empty it ’s a little awkward to get raised and lowered but once you get the strategy it ’s not bad( I put my foot on the hitch and hang onto the baskets and let my body weight pull the rack down). My girlfriend who is 5 ’ 4 ” can lower the rack on her own and load her size Small bike on pretty easily which is awesome. If I ’ m solo with a lighter bike I ’ ve been just lifting the bike into the rack without lowering it just to save a step and it ’s a pretty easy option as well. I ’ ve used it with 29 ’, 27. 5 ’, 26 ’, and 700c and they seem to hold well. I also bought the repair stand and integrated lock and both are well thought out and really nice additions. I think the value for this rack is awesome compared to the competition. The damper assist up and optional accessories is really sets it apart for me. I was also looking at Velocirax and Jambo Designs when deciding what to buy but I ’ m so glad I got the Revert.

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.

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!

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.

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 ’ 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.

[ I have only used this bike rack briefly, but I love it. My main goal was to have a 2 bike rack that was easy to take on and off the car. This fits the bill perfectly. 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.

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.

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.

[ 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.

[ 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.

Tilting bike racks offer the convenience of easy access to your vehicle's trunk or rear door without having to remove the bikes. This feature is especially useful for loading and unloading gear or accessing items stored in the back. Additionally, tilting racks can provide better visibility for the driver, as they often allow for a clearer view of the road behind.
To choose the right size tilting bike rack, consider the number of bikes you plan to transport and the weight capacity of the rack. It's also important to check your vehicle's hitch size and compatibility with the rack. Make sure to review the specifications to ensure a proper fit and secure transport of your bikes.
Most tilting bike racks are designed to accommodate a variety of bicycle types, including road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrid models. However, it's essential to check the specifications of the rack to ensure it can handle the frame style and weight of your specific bikes. Some racks may have limitations on tire size or frame design.
Tilting bike racks are typically made from durable materials such as steel or aluminum, which provide strength and stability for transporting bikes. Steel racks often offer higher weight capacities, while aluminum racks are lighter and more corrosion-resistant. The choice of material can affect the overall durability and ease of use.
Yes, tilting bike racks can be suitable for long-distance travel, provided they are properly installed and rated for the weight of the bikes being transported. It's important to ensure that the rack is securely attached to the vehicle and that the bikes are well secured to prevent movement during transit. Regularly checking the rack and bikes during long trips can help ensure safety and stability.
When selecting a tilting bike rack, look for features such as ease of installation, weight capacity, and the number of bikes it can carry. Additional features like adjustable arms, integrated locks for security, and a lightweight design for easy handling can enhance usability. Consider your specific needs, such as trunk access and bike compatibility, to find the best option.
