Elevate your biking adventures with the Thule Apex XT 4 Hitch Rack Carrier, designed to transport up to four bikes securely and conveniently. Thanks to its innovative arc design and increased mast height, this rack offers superior ground clearance and effortless bike loading—no more struggling with awkward angles or low-hanging frames.
Need quick access to your vehicle’s rear? The tilt-down feature, activated by the Hitch Switch lever, folds the arms neatly when not in use and tilts the entire rack away for hassle-free trunk or tailgate access. Plus, the integrated Snug-Tite Stinger lock keeps your rack firmly attached to 1.25″ or 2″ receivers (adapter included), eliminating wobble and movement.
Your bikes stay protected on the road with Anti-Sway Cages and soft-touch TPE strips that prevent scratches and contact between bikes or your vehicle. The Hold Fast Cradles, reinforced with vibration-absorbing pads, cushion each frame against bumps and road vibrations.
Setup is tool-free: simply push the rack into your hitch until it auto-locks, tighten the knob, and secure with the lock. An integrated cable lock adds extra security for your bikes during transport.
Please note: Not suitable for tandem or recumbent bikes; an adapter (sold separately) is required for step-through frames.
