Why We Like The Thule Verse 2 Bike Hitch Rack
When we grow bored with our local trail and itch to ride new terrain, we load up our Thule Verse 2 Bike Hitch Rack and hit the road. Featuring a 2-bike, 55-pound per bike capacity, it doesn't matter whether we have a cruiser bike, e-Bike, or traditional mountain bike. The rack can tilt down for easy access to the trunk and fold up when not in use. The telescoping arms ratchet down on our front wheel, securing our bikes without frame contact, and aluminum wheel wells and rubber straps secure our rear wheel and work with tires up to five inches wide. Lastly, adjustable spacing between the bikes gives us six inches of adjustment room to minimize frame contact when we are on the go, and an integrated lock secures our bikes to the rack and the rack to the car, so we have peace of mind when traveling.

Incredible rack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a cyclist of over 25 years, it's been incredible to see the progress in how we transport bikes. This rack has thought of every single detail I could have ever imagined, and is built to last. Couldn't be more pleased.

Nicest hitch rack that I have owned or used
The rack is designed and built as something that you would actually purchase for what it is and not just a tool to carry your bikes. The ergonomics along with fit and finish are excellent. The rack is very stable, even when fully loaded on rough roads.

Well thought through, high quality rack.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im really excited to receive my thule verse 2 Rack. It took about 20 minutes to assemble and was incredibly easy to put together. The system developed made it so everyone could assemble, and came with all of the tools you will need.

Stout, secure, simple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Thule Verse is a fantastic bike rack that combines sturdiness, security, and simplicity. Designed for easy transport, it securely holds two bikes with a strong, hitch-mounted design. It has a great tilt-down feature that allows trunk access while bikes are still mounted to the rack. Additionally, the large ratcheting arms and rear wheel straps keep bikes secure even on bumpy dirt roads. The tool-free installation is another big win!

Stellar Product & Design
This bike rack is awesome and every part of it shows how high-quality it is. The instructions are very clear - my partner and I assembled it in less than half an hour. I put it on our 2000 Chevy Astro van and it fits and looks great. There are no quirks to this bike racks unlike others I have used. The rack accommodates both of our mountain bikes perfectly. It is sturdy and is perfect for roads that are not paved.

thoughtful design and so easy to use!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Showed up in plastic-free packaging which is a major win, and assembly took less than 15 minutes start to finish thanks to good instructions and the super helpful video on the product page. I have it installed on my 2023 Bronco and the rack stays super secure on all terrain. Have used it for MTB, road, and gravel bikes, both my small sizes and my friends larger ones, and adjusting for all of them has been super seamless. Honestly just a great functional product that does the job perfectly (and looks good too!)

Overall best bike rack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this bike rack. It keeps my bike safe while traveling to the trails and is easy to use. All the handles on this rack are solid and feel durable. one of my favorite new features is the adjustable front wheel tray which can be repositioned without the use of any tools. I also love that I don't have to worry about straps or clamps scratching my bike frame. All straps and clamps are designed to not leave marks whether it's the position of the clamps or the rubber to protect the straps. So far, loving this new bike rack.

I love this rack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been a sponsored Thule athlete for a few years now and am fortunate to have tested and used several racks over the years. They keep improving and refining and making them more universal. Highly recommend.
