Hitch bike racks

Thule hitch bike racks are easy to install and use with the option to carry 1 to 5 bikes. They mount to the receiver hitch so no base rack is needed.

Sorry, there are currently no recommended products that match your vehicle details.


We couldn't find a solution for your vehicle because either:


  • There is no safe place to mount a rack to the roof or truck bed of your vehicle.

  • Your vehicle is new to the market and we are working on a solution. Please check back in 4-6 weeks as we may have an update at that time.

  • Thule no longer produces the fit kit for your vehicle.

Mount location

Mount location

Roof
A roof-mounted bike carrier is a common carrier used to transport race bikes, but can be used with other bikes as well. The carrier is mounted on the roof, giving you full access to the trunk of your car. One carrier carries 1 bike only, but you can mount additional carriers on your roof to transport more bikes or other gear. Please note that all roof-mounted bike carriers require rack or approved factory-installed crossbar systems.

Hitch
Hitch-mounted bike carriers are the most common bike carriers. They can carry 1-5 bikes, are easy to mount to your car and limit heavy and high lifting.

Rear
A rear door-mounted bike carrier is an ideal option if you don't have roof racks or a hitch on your car. Foldable and easy to store when not in use, the carrier is mounted on the rear door of your car and can carry 1-4 bikes. Please note that a rear door bike carrier does not fit all cars depending on the size, construction, used material and design of your car's rear door as well as on rear spoiler / windscreen wiper and other car-specific regulations. The Thule Buyer's Guide will tell if a rear door-mounted solution will work for your car.

If your car has a spare tire on the rear of your car, you can mount a bike carrier directly on it. This spare tire solution is compact, easy-to-install and carries 1-2 bikes.

Truck bed
The truck bed carriers are easy-access options for carrying your bikes in the bed of your pick-up truck. Compare the different options to match your needs.

To get a recommended Thule product, you need to supply your car information – make, year, and model.

The list only shows cars that have been successfully tested with a Thule carrier. If you cannot find your car in the list it is likely due to one of the following reasons:

  • your car has a plastic/weak/large spoiler
  • your car has a plastic/glass or a divided rear door
  • the car manufacturer does not allow the use of rear door-mounted carriers on this car
  • your car is very new to the market (available for less than six months)

Please read the fit tips carefully for restrictions on spoilers etc.

A hitch bike rack from Thule is a great choice if you and your friends or family want to head out on new adventures with your bikes. Finding the hitch bike rack that’s perfect for you and your car couldn’t be simpler. First, specify the size and class of your car’s hitch receiver and then the number of bikes you want to carry. Then you can choose a platform for easier loading and unloading or a tiltable carrier that swings away to give you access to the trunk of the car.

  

When you buy a hitch bike rack from Thule, you can choose:

  • Hitch bike racks for 1 to 5 bikes, including E-bikes
  • Platform racks for easier loading and unloading
  • Tiltable, “swing-away” bike racks for easy access to the trunk

Safe, secure, and very easy transportation

What makes a perfect hitch bike rack? That’s up to you. You can choose carriers for maximum strength, security, and ease of use as well as convenient, fully foldable two-bike hitch racks that suit E-bikes amongst others. Whatever you choose, you can be sure of the easiest bike rack to mount and unmount, giving you the speed and flexibility you need.

We’ve driven it around the world – twice!

You can be confident that a Thule hitch bike rack won’t let you or your bikes down. At the Thule Test Center™, we load bike racks with twice the recommended maximum weight and then simulate them going twice around the world, complete with bumps! Only when a hitch rack survives that, is it good enough for you and your bikes.
