The best just got even better. Thule Verse sets the new standard for safety, durability, and ease of use for hitch mounted platform bike carriers. Developed from the award-winning Thule T2 line, the original platform hitch rack that pioneered the no-frame contact design nearly two decades ago, this revolutionary bike carrier has been redesigned from the ground up. With a sleek aesthetic and premium styling, the Thule Verse has a greater range of bike fits, easier to use features, and even more capacity than its predecessor. Thule Verse will be available on March 25th, 2024 in the United States and Canada.
Award-winning rack design
Thule Verse brings to market the patented outboard release handle providing easy hand-activated tilting for rear cargo access with or without bikes, allowing the rack to quickly tilt up to stow vertically when not in use, reducing the rear footprint on the back of the vehicle. Thule Verse provides superior protection and security for your bikes. The independent single attachment arm secures your bike by clamping down on the front wheel, eliminating frame contact and securing the bike to the rack quickly. With 11.4in of spacing between bike positions, independent on-the-fly tray adjustments for the wheels, and a new soft-touch attach arm with increased fork clearance, bikes are loaded easily with the peace of mind that they’ll be safe on your journey. Thule Verse has an increased carrying capacity by accommodating wheelbases up to 53in and larger tire sizes up to 5in. Each bike tray can carry bikes up to 60lbs and accepts our Thule Foldable Loading Ramp to assist with those heavier e-bikes. And with the included 12mm theft-deterrent locking cable, security is offered for when you’re away from your vehicle.
Accessories that add to the experience
Thule Verse is designed around a full line of purpose built accessories that add to the experience, on and off the trail. The Thule Verse Repair Holder provides a perfect solution for repairs when you need it most, keeping you on the trails as long as possible. When the sun sets, stay safe and visible on the road with the Thule Verse Light & Plate Kit that attaches directly to the rack and connects to the vehicle’s trailer light hookup. Riders looking to carry more than two bikes can easily add the Thule Verse 2B Add-on increases the total capacity to four bikes (available on 2” hitch model only). And to make carrying the rack on and off of your vehicle as easy as possible, Thule Transport Wheels quickly attach to the bottom of the rack to assist by letting the user roll the rack on and off.
