Pivoting Arms with Ratcheting Hooks
The T2 Pro XTR has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, so it won't scratch or scuff the paint. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook. To unload your bike, press the gray button on the upright arm to release the ratcheting hook, and slide the hook up.
Sliding Rear Wheel Cradles
The wheel trays have cradles with ratcheting straps to secure your rear wheel to the rack. The cradles slide along the tray to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. To secure your wheel, run the strap over the rim and back down through the strap buckle and pull tight. To remove your bike, press the quick-release button on the buckle and undo the strap.
Front-Mounted Handle for Easy Tilting and Folding
The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.
To make tilting and folding easier, the T2 Pro XTR's release lever is mounted on the front of the rack. This means you won't have to reach through or around your bikes with one hand to reach the lever, while supporting the rack's weight with the other, when lowering the rack. Instead, you'll be able to hold the rack with both hands the entire time.
Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device
The rack quickly installs in your hitch receiver, without the need for tools. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. Turning the knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge in the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection. It also sets the integrated SnugTite hitch pin into place, securing the rack to your receiver.
The T2 Pro XTR has built-in wheels that let you easily roll the rack so you don't have to lift it and carry it to your vehicle.
Complete Security
The T2 Pro XTR includes One-Key System locks to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. Integrated cable locks thread around your bikes' frames and insert into the lock that slides along the cable. The cables store inside the arms when not in use.
The lock on the hand knob secures the rack to your vehicle. Once locked, the hand knob will spin freely so a would-be thief can't operate it. The locks are keyed alike, so you only need to use 1 key. Additional One-Key System locks (sold separately) let you make all your Thule products keyed alike.

T2 Pro bike rack was delivered in a very timely manner. The rack was as described, extremely easy to assemble and is super user friendly! Exactly what I was looking for so my wife can use it by herself.
Thanks

Great product, great company to do business with. etrailer is the best. Friendly, helpful and they made sure the bike rack was shipped immediately and it was delivered on time.

It has been great. Used it a few times and I am very pleased with the product.
by: Marvin07/13/2022
The quality of the rack is very sturdy and well built. I needed a rack that has a 12” spacing between wheels do to the baskets on each bike, and this rack delivered that. The issues I have with this rack are: I have a GMC Yukon suv and with the rack mounted I have to lift my two Lecritc 2.0 e-bikes, at 60 pounds each up over 24” to get it mounted. It sure could use ramps, which I know it did not come with. The clamp hold down does not work with fenders on a bike. It does not clamp very well on the cross bar (male and female) type do to the width and the angle of the cross bars. When clamping in front of the front fender makes the bike very unstable, and will require additional strapping and tie downs to secure the bikes. It claims it is for e-bikes, but only if it has no fenders. Nice rack, just not for me.

Those are some impressive bikes! I do have alternate bike racks to consider. One is part # Y36FR which does come with a ramp to make it easier to load the bikes. You can view it in the link below on a 2015 Toyota 4 Runner. Another new option is part # SAR42RR. This one does require for the vehicle to have a seven way installed. It is unique in that it has an electric lift to install the bikes. You can see a review of it in the link below.
by: Rusty07/26/2021
I had a great trunk rack. However, it would not hold an E bike due to the weight. This rack does a great job of holding my E bike. The rack also allows for me to get into my hatch where a trunk rack would not.

Ive had this hitch rack for a year now. This is a great rack. It is still a great investment. I dont have any problems with the bikes on the rack. It also is very durable.
by: Richard 04/21/2024
Great product, well built. This is my third Thule bike carrier. Very straight forward directions and easy to assemble.
by: Edward05/30/2023
Service was ok. Regular website, email, tracking. But what I received was a disgrace. I thought I took advantage of a holiday sale, and what they sent me was what looks refurbished.
by: Louis08/07/2022
I previously owned the Thule T2 classic hitch that was damaged in an accident. After researching a replacement, I found the reliability of Thule and significant advantage of being able to easily roll the XTR into the hitch with very little lifting effort. This is a major improvement considering the weight and unwieldy nature of the Classic version. The only negative as compared to the Classic version, is loss of the lockable wheel bars and the awkward short lockable cables on the XTR.
This is more than offset by the ease of mobilty and use of the XTR model.

Product has been great after a year of use. Wheel design on newer model makes it soo much easier to mount on hitch than older model
by: Jonathan 07/24/2022
I love this bike rack, was told it was extremely hard to get last summer with supply chain but etrailer had one and it got to us quickly. We have 2 pedal-assist e-bikes, one is quite heavy; no issues whatsoever with this rack, it is excellent. Highly recommend both the rack and etrailer.com

excellent. it is in montreal with us right now. very happy with the purchase and feel lucky it was available during the supply chain situation. Pleasure working with you.
by: Stephanie09/02/2022
This bike rack is amazing! Only negative is that the included instructions for assembly are not great, but videos I found online helped with that. I can install this rack on my hitch and have bikes loaded up in just a few minutes, and it makes traveling with our bikes easy since we can still tilt it down to access the back hatch even with bikes attached. Best of all, this rack is INCREDIBLY sturdy. On vacation with two bikes in tow, I got a flat tire on my car and had my car towed to a dealership to get new tires. I had to have it towed on a flatbed because it was the only way to transport the bikes as the back of the car was full of luggage. When the tow truck started to pull my Highlander onto the bed, the angle of the car/flatbed was steep enough that the bottom of the bike rack (an angled piece of metal that hangs down where right where the rack attaches to the hitch) began scraping the ground. I was worried that the bike rack had been damaged, but it didn't even get scratched even though the metal of the rack scraped about a half inch off the surface of the asphalt!

After a year of using this rack, I would still highly recommend it as one of the sturdiest and most functional bike racks out there! It is incredibly easy to put on and take off, but if you leave it on as I usually do it is still easy to get into the cars hatch whether you have bikes loaded on it or not. Loading bikes on the racks is quick and easy, and it holds them securely. I can use it with my carbon frame bikes since it puts no stress on the frame, and even with my heaviest steel and mountain bikes it holds them in place solidly. It IS fairly heavy, but is still easy to get on and off the hitch, and the wheels on the bottom make it easy to move around in my garage when its off the car. One of the best purchases Ive made!
by: Darwin04/15/2022
Obviously great quality! Not hard to install; however, I suggest watching [online] video prior to installation. Manual with pictures wasn’t very helpful.
by: RC07/11/2022
Very nice bike rack. Instruction manual nearly incomprehensible but there are plenty of good videos on line to help with assembly. I assembled myself; probably easier as a two person job

Good as new
by: David03/15/2022
The Thule T2 Pro XTR rack is outstanding. It is sturdy and built to last, and the wheels make it easy to slide up to the trailer hitch and engage it easily. The tilt feature leaves adequate access to the back of my Subaru Forester. The bikes ride in complete security. My one quibble is that the locking cables are far too short to be useful on our bikes.

Very well. It took a loading or two before I got the moves right for loading a heavy ebike, but once researched, it is easy to do. Very secure, very durable.
by: Richard 06/03/2023
Was delivered quickly. This isn't the first item that I've purchased from eTrailer and have always had a great experience. It was easy to assemble if one places it in the hitch to do so. The instructions are a little difficult to follow as they could use some verbiage to guide one along. Other than that it was easy to assemble. The rack is heavy and it is nice that it has wheels to help move it around.

by: Nathan02/05/2022
Works great with larger than average wheelbase bikes (new Stumpjumper). Easy to use, the instruction manual sucks, watch some YouTube videos to put it together. I like that it tilts down for hatchbacks. This is pretty much the best on the market. It's expensive but you'll never wish you'd got something else.

Had it a year. Still pretty good. I did have the handle latch kinda detach from the release cable internally but I was able to screw it back in, didnt need any additional parts. Pretty quick fix and it only happened once, no other issues than that, its been great.
by: Dave 05/26/2023
Great product. The instructions are picture only. I had to visit the University of YouTube to understand how to use the hitch lock. If the instructions had been written this would be five stars.
by: Tomas 06/22/2022
When I was in the market for a bike rack, I wanted to get the brand Teo of the guys I ride with have. I had used those racks while going to different places with them. This brand was out of stock and when it finally came back in stock, it was more expensive than before, so I decided to get Thule T2 Pro XTR. This was a really good decision. I like this rack much more than the brand I originally wanted to get.
I highly recommend it.
by: Jack 04/13/2023
Just got it. Purchsed to transport an Ebike on a Ford Escape. The rack is heavy and solid. Not hard to assemble or to mount in the 2" receiver. Not sure how I will work around the fenders on an Ebike but I'm pretty sure there will be a way. (Some sources on the internet say not compatible with fenders.) The wheels will be helpful and the swing up mechanism works nicely.
by: Robin 06/20/2023
Excellent product, thrilled with the ease of use and security it provides for the bikes.
by: Jerry 04/22/2023
Big heavy rack for big heavy bikes. It does the job well. I secured each bike with an additional compression strap for safety. Like that it can be rolled around when not in use.
by: Steve 07/23/2021
Works great for carrying our e-bikes and mountain bikes. Solid construction. Stable and secure in use. Integral cable locks are nice. On our 2012 Rav4, there's plenty of clearance between the spare tire cover and nearest bike. Clearance is adequate between the spare cover and carrier with the carrier folded up.
by: Michael07/28/2021
I have no issue with etrailer.com. My order was shipped promptly and as usual their communication was stellar. When I received the product, the box had several holes in it and over half the assembly hardware was missing. I got replacement hardware locally. I bought the rack to carry our e-bikes on the back of our trailer. It replaces a Kuat that isn’t heavy enough to do the job. The product seems sturdy enough but the assembly instructions are pitiful; some of the worst I have ever seen. You’d think that a product at this price point would have decent instructions. Thank heaven for [online videos] In comparison with my Kuat, the fit and finish is much better on the Kuat. I do have high hopes for this product, but so far the jury is out.
by: David 10/11/2021
It was worth every penny compared to the other bike rack we have! Also when you deal with etrailer you get what you pay for great products and outstanding service!

See what our Experts say about this Thule Hitch Bike Racks
- What Bike ramp Can I Use for the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV? I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, we currently don't carry any bike ramps that are designed for your Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV. The only thing that would come close would be to purchase something like the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps - 8" Lift - 74" Long - Qty 2 # RR-TR-8XL to use with your current rack. With that being said, if you are open to purchasing another rack, we do have a great rack that has a built-in ramp. For this route, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR....
view full answer... - What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for Transporting my 50-Pound E-Bike on a Fifth-Wheel Trailer?The reason why most bike carriers like the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # TH83JV are not rated to work with a fifth-wheel, flat-towed vehicle, or travel trailer is because there is additional force and torque exerted on the rack when mounted on these modes of transport. With that being said, we do have a great option for carrying a 50-pound electric bike on a rack that is rated for your 2018 Keystone Montana fifth-wheel trailer. The best route is the Swagman E-Spec...
view full answer... - Similar Bike Rack to Thule T2 Pro XTR that Can be Used with Bike with FendersThere isn't a good way to use the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV with bikes with fenders aside from taking them off everytime which is something you mentioned not wanting to do. The best solution is going to be a new rack that grabs the bikes by the frame instead like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which was designed heavier e-bikes that typically have fenders. This even has a ramp that pulls out to make loading and unloading a bit easier as well.
view full answer... - What is the Part Number for the Thule T2 Pro XT Platform Bike RackI may have a solution for you, but it looks like the silver version has been discontinued by Thule. However you could still get the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV, which is black instead of silver. It's still the same wheel mounting platform rack and it provides you with tilt-away and fold up functions and is a good alternative if you don't mind the different color. I've linked a short review video of this rack for you to check out.
view full answer... - Will the Thule X2 Pro XTR Work on a Class I Hitch? I have a great solution for you. Since Class I hitches only come with a hitch receiver of 1-1/4 inches, the Thule T2 Pro XTR will not fit a Class I hitch. The reason why it won't fit is because the Thule Pro XTR is only made for 2-inch hitch receivers, which come with a rating of Class III, Class IV, and Class V. All of the different classes have different weight ratings that they can hold safely. With that being said, if you want a similar rack to the Thule Pro XTR that will fit a Class...
view full answer... - Pin Hole to Bumper Clearance for Draw Tite/Hidden Hitch on 2014 Subaru ForesterWhen we installed the Hidden Hitch 87654 and the Draw Tite equivalent part # 75876 on a 2014 Subaru Forester we found that the distance from the pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper was 5 inches. The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH69TX and the T2 Pro part # TH83JV requires 5 inches so it would be very close. These hitches offer better clearance than the Curt so they would be the best options.
view full answer... - Platform Bike Rack that is Rated for Use at Rear of MotorhomeThe most similar bike rack we have to the Thule T2 part you referenced that is approved for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a fifth wheel trailer is the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR. The T2 was not reinforced enough to be able to withstand the harsher ride at the rear of the fifth wheel but the OnRamp was and comes with added benefit of having a ramp setup built into it to make loading and unloading easier. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

They do however come on the newer version of this rack, the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # TH83JV so if you want this feature you'd have to upgrade. The other option is a dolly like the Dolly for Saris MHS Bike Rack part # SAR33MR which will still help you easily maneuver the rack but the part isn't integrated into the rack so there...
view full answer... - How to Use Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack with 1-1/4" Hitch on Subaru CrosstrekIn order for your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV to fit with your 1-1/4" hitch receiver you'll need an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch # e43YR. The only issues with this solution are that using an adapter like this reduces the weight capacity of your hitch by 50% plus Thule doesn't recommend using an adapter like this for this bike rack. The only way they will be okay with the T2 Pro XTR being used with a 1-1/4" receiver is if the rack has the 1-1/4"...
view full answer... - Thule Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Fat Bike and Mountain Bike with 27.5 in WheelThe Thule T2 XTR bike rack part # TH83JV that you referenced would work for both of the bikes you mentioned as it can fit wheel diameters up to 29 inches and tires that are up to 5 inches in width. This would be a great option that I recommend highly. It will only touch the bikes at the tires and is very easy to use. The T2 bike racks are considered by most to be the nicest platform bike racks around. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon for Carrying T2 Bike RackThe factory hitch of the 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon does have a shallower pin hole which makes fitting a bike rack into it hard. The best option is to replace it with an aftermarket hitch like the Draw Tite part # 76227 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. It would allow you to install the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Why Isn't the Tightening Knob Activating on My Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack? I went ahead and reached out to Thule, and my tech said that the most common issue with the knob/wedge of the T2 Pro XTR # TH23JV or # TH83JV involves the lock. One thing that you can do is make sure that the tightening knob is in the "unlocked" position. If it is in the "locked" position, this will not allow the wedge to tighten. If this troubleshooting method does not work, you need to fill out a warranty claim with Thule or replace the entire rack. There is unfortunately no replacement...

The distance from the center of the pin hole to the end of the trailer hitch receiver is 2 1/2inches, and the distance from the center of the pin hole to the most outward part of the rear bumper is 3inches. There is no stop inside of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13200. The Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack # TH9025XT will fit perfectly on your vehicle with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver...

- Is Thule T2 Pro TH83JV Bike Rack Compatible with Electric Bikes Equipped with FendersSince the bike retention hooks on the Thule T2 Pro, part # TH83JV hold the tire at the forks, the fender would interfere, which is why racks of this type that hold the bike by the tire aren't recommended for bikes with fenders. This being said, we do have a solution. I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, part # HLY84FR. The rack has an 80 lb/bike capacity, and holds the bikes by the wheels at the bottom and by the frame top tube so it'll work perfectly for bikes with fenders....

- How Well Does Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack Fit and Work on 2015 Honda CR-VIf you are installing a Draw Tite hitch part # 75742 on your 2015 Honda CR-V the Thule T2 Pro XTT part # TH83JV would fit and work well. To answer your first question you would easily have the ability to carry two road bikes with this setup. You also would have more than enough clearance for the rack to fold up when not carrying a bike. I attached a video that shows this rack demoed on a 2015 Honda CR-V just like yours for you to check out. In it you can see that with road bikes loaded...

- Bike Rack Recommendation for 2022 Toyota RAV4 to Carry Carbon Frame BikeThule doesn't recommend any of their trunk mounted bike racks for the 2022 Toyota RAV4 but actually the Outway wouldn't be ideal for a carbon frame bike at all since it grabs the bikes by the bike frame and not the front wheel. Carbon bikes shouldn't use bike racks that attach to the bikes by the frame since the material is delicate. Best option would be a hitch bike rack that only touches the tire like the Thule T2 Pro part # TH83JV. Then for a hitch you'd want the Curt # C13416 which...

Check out the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitch - Flush # e98882 This is a locking hitch pin that will lock through your hitch receiver to secure your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # TH83JV. If you have thicker hitch walls on your hitch, then you'd want to use the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # e98881, which is an 1" longer...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Transporting 4 Bikes with Class II Hitch on Subaru OutbackYou can certainly secure the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV to your Class II, 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver by using an adapter like the Brophy # HTAD. This adapter will insert into the 1-1/4 inch receiver and provide a 2 inch opening on the other end for use with 2 inch hitch-mounted accessories. The issue with using this or any similar adapter, which may negate the reason you are wanting one, is that it is going to reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by...
view full answer... - Can you Weld a Wheel onto the Older Thule T2 Bike RackThe newer Thule T2 Pro, part # TH83JV, has rollers attached, but the older ones did not. It sounds like your have the older T2. While it is entirely possible to weld anything onto your older T2, I cannot say what will work or what size you need. You may be able to use something like the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller for RVs with 2" Trailer Hitches, part # UF48-979020. You might be able to weld this on the rest area to use the roller as your wheel. Again, I cannot say for sure if this will work,...
view full answer... - Yakima or Thule E-Bike Rack ComparisonsOf the racks you mentioned only the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR was designed specifically for e-bikes. The others could be used with e-bikes since they have the higher weight capacity but if the e-bikes have fenders they won't work well since they grab the bikes by the tire right where the fender normally is. So of the three I would recommend the OnRamp as the best overall choice. For a similar Thule e-bike rack we have the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is normally my favorite...
view full answer... - Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedMost Jeep Wranglers have between 10 and 12 inches from the center of their hitch pin holes to the outside of the rear spare on the back of the vehicle. The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV has a distance of 7 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the rack when folded up so it would not be able to fold up at the rear of your vehicle. For a similar platform bike rack that will clear the rear spare and is also very lightweight check out the Saris Superclamp...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for Carbon Fiber Bike with Stromberg Carlson Bunk CC-275For carbon fiber frame bikes you need to go with a bike rack that only touches the bikes by the tires and not by the delicate frame. The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV is a really great option for this that is very popular with carbon fiber bike owners. This is widely considered to be one of the best racks around due to how solid it is (no movement in hitch), how easy it is to load and unload, and how well made it is. It would work great with the bike bunk part # CC-275 that you mentioned...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes With 5 Inch TiresMany bike racks are not recommended for use on the back of an RV, and we don't have any with the capacity for two 60 lb bikes. To ensure you can carry the bikes and tow the trailer with your truck, I recommend getting a 2 Inch Front Hitch Receiver and installing the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier for Electric Bicycles - 2" Hitch - Tilting, # HLY84FR, that you referenced. If you can let me know the year, make, and model of your tow vehicle, I will be happy to see if we have...
view full answer... - How to Determine if Thule T2 Pro XTR Will Clear Spare of Toyota FJ CruiserThe New Thule T2 PRO XTR part # TH83JV has a distance of 7 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack. If the distance from your vehicle's hitch pin out to the outside edge of the spare tire is less than that this rack will fit and work well. For a similar rack with more clearance we have the Saris Superclamp EX2 # SA4025F which has 12 inches from pin hole to bike tray.
