Thule Ridgeline Hitch Bike Carrier - 4 Bike

Item #THU0173 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Nice Rack

By Ranked #895 - Car Racks June 12, 2008

Pros:
* Solid construction
* Excellent strapping options
* Easily holds 4 bikes
* Minimal bike sway
* Quick-release levers allow for easy fold-up and trunk access
* Built in cable lock
* Hitch lock

Cons:
* Stinger extends out pretty far
* Only one bolt/pin hole on the stinger. A 2nd bolt/pin hole would allow for the stinger to be inserted deeper into the hitch receiver.
* Cable for lock could have been heavier gage
* Although the stinger can be locked to the hitch receiver, the upper portion of the rack is only bolted to the stinger. The upper half of the rack (including any attached bikes) can be stolen with a wrench.
* Couldn't mount woman's bike frame without frame adaptor (which I was told it could)
