Why We Like The Thule Verse 2 Bike Hitch Rack
When we grow bored with our local trail and itch to ride new terrain, we load up our Thule Verse 2 Bike Hitch Rack and hit the road. Featuring a 2-bike, 55-pound per bike capacity, it doesn't matter whether we have a cruiser bike, e-Bike, or traditional mountain bike. The rack can tilt down for easy access to the trunk and fold up when not in use. The telescoping arms ratchet down on our front wheel, securing our bikes without frame contact, and aluminum wheel wells and rubber straps secure our rear wheel and work with tires up to five inches wide. Lastly, adjustable spacing between the bikes gives us six inches of adjustment room to minimize frame contact when we are on the go, and an integrated lock secures our bikes to the rack and the rack to the car, so we have peace of mind when traveling.

Great rack
Really happy with the bike rack so far. It’s extremely easy to attach and remove from the vehicle, and loading/unloading bikes is quick and easy. The only downside is that the rack itself is fairly heavy and a bit cumbersome to move around or store when not in use. Overall, very happy with it.

Amazing
Pay once. This will last a lifetime and it doesn't scuff up bikes with proper setup. Ignore the negative reviews

Absolutely
Bought to toss on the car for transporting some heavy e-bikes- since my old thule T2 is being used on a different vehicle- super easy to assemble, very well built, no rattles or noises- really like it

Great rack. Some issues
This rack is a second rack for a new car. Ease of assembly, sturdy build - all I've come to expect from Thule. On the negative side, this rack has no wheels to move it around and doesn't actually sit without leaning making it inconvenient for the normal offs and ons.

Exceptional product
Bought this carrier to transport an e-bike (heavy) and my road bike. Took it out on a long six-hour trip this last week. What an exceptional product. Superb design, superb engineering and easy to use. Only downside is that it's quite heavy, but that's a minor issue.

Great for the Mountain Bikes and the gravel bikes!
I bought this to use for our mountain bikes and gravel bikes. So easy and adjustable for all different frames. Can access the hatch of the car easily with enough room to get between the rack and storage in back. Got this model also because it can carry the weight of an e-bike if we eventually go that direction.

Outstanding quality with unrivaled support.
you need to know that Thule is the absolute best product on the market. In every. single. category. (that they are in) Literally, when this bike rack is installed it feels like the same high quality as OEM for my vehicle. That's tank quality, with all the conveniences of intelligent design.

Easy to use and performs well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the convenience of being able to take my bike wherever I want without having to maneuver it into the back of my car and worry about breaking one of the parts. I appreciate that it can handle the weight of two e-bikes. It is so nice to be able to take our bikes somewhere else instead of only setting out from our house.
