Why choose a hitch bike rack?
Choosing the right hitch bike rack is crucial for ensuring your bikes are transported safely and efficiently. Our hitch bike racks are built with premium features that cater to various biking needs and vehicle types. Our most premium ones will take all types of frames and geometries, including ebikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and bikes with fenders and racks.
Versatility and security
Thule hitch bike racks come in two main styles: platform-style and hanging racks. Platform-style tow hitch bike racks anchor bikes on trays, minimizing bike sway and contact during transport. They can carry up to four bikes with extensions and are ideal for heavier models like e-bikes. Hanging tow hitch bike racks are more compact and affordable, supporting bikes by the frame and accommodating multiple bikes at a time.
Easy installation and use
Installing a Thule hitch bike rack is straightforward and quick. The racks attach securely to your vehicle's tow hitch, providing a stable platform for your bikes. Many models feature tiltable designs, allowing you to access your trunk without unloading the bikes. This convenience makes our tow hitch bike racks perfect for regular use and long-distance travel.
Enhanced features
Our tow hitch bike racks are designed with user-friendly features such as built-in locks, foldability for a small footprint when not in use, lightweight construction, and repair stands. These features ensure that your bikes are secure and easily accessible at all times. Additionally, the placement at the back of your car, helps improve fuel efficiency, making them a great choice for electric vehicles.
