This 2-bike rack is perfect for serious cyclists and occasional riders. It has cushioned, ratcheting arms that secure your bikes by the frame, and you can tilt it for access to your rear cargo area. It also includes locks for bikes and rack.
Features:
Specs:
Note: For proper installation, this rack requires your hitch receiver to have a minimum distance of 1-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the face of the receiver.
Adjustable, Padded Clamps
The DoubleTrack Pro XT's adjustable frame clamps move up and down the central mast independently to grab your bikes by the top tube, the downtube, or even the seat post. The inner jaws of the clamps are padded to help absorb road shock and vibration and prevent scratches and scuffs.
Sliding 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.
HitchSwitch Lever 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 tilt the rack down, reach through or around your bikes with one hand, pull up on the HitchSwitch lever at the base, and lower the rack with your free hand.
Complete Security
The ratcheting hooks have lock cores in the release buttons so you can secure your bikes to the rack. Once you've positioned the hooks to secure your bikes to the rack, use the key to lock the hooks in place. It also includes a threaded hitch pin that helps eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. A lock on the hitch pin secures the rack to your vehicle. It's keyed alike with the lock cores on the hooks, so you only need to use 1 key. Additional One-Key System locks (sold separately) let you make all your Thule products keyed alike.
The rack includes a threaded hitch pin that helps eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport.
The rack also works with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. To use it in a 1-1/4" hitch, simply remove the adapter with the included Allen key.

This is so easy to put our bicycles on and it folds out of the way when not in use. Love Thule items
I purchased the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack from etrailer because of their customer service and fast shipping. The Rack was actually on sale on etrailer, Thule, REI and other retailers, but my choice was etrailer and like always etrailer does it correctly. Rack was on time and no parts were damaged. Only thing missing was the plastic straps, as soon as I realized they were missing I called etrailer and spoke with Roger ( great customer service based on the USA, no calls to foreign call centers) on a Sunday, 3 days later I got my straps and my whole bike rack was completed. I have been using it for the past 2 weeks and everything seems right and fully functional. Thanks etrailer !
Disappointed in the quality control from Thule. One of the nuts provided had no threads so had to hunt down a replacement at the hardware store. Also one of the wheel tray ratchet mechanisms doesn't spring back like it's supposed to. For the money Thule wants for its products you'd think the quality would be better.
We have had this rack for one year and have used it dozens of times. Still going very strong. We love it. Intially the instructions for assembly were a little bit confusing. But a couple of {online} videos helped us out. This rack is a pleasure to use. Easy on/off the vehicle. And very easy on/off for the bikes. Lock for the rack itself and locks for the bikes for added security. I would HIGHLY recommend this rack. Sturdy while driving and relatively lightweight and compact to store when not in use. A-Plus!!!
DO NOT SPEND $[XX] on this rack.
I got it thinking the locking features would be great.
After assembly I got things going but found that this is a very fickle rack.
I have had issues releasing the bikes from the vertical arm. I had some bike trouble and my biking companion was going to load up and come get me.
NOT ONE PERSON out of the dozen or so who tried to help her load could figure out how to get the rocker with the lock to release (IT WAS NOT LOCKED). You need to know how to wiggle/jiggle the arm and rocker together to get it to release.
I wish I had not been attracted by the locking features. THIS RACK IS NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.
Great all-in-one rack. It comes with the anti sway nut, it locks to the car and bikes lock to the rack using the same key. Solid construction. It’s not too heavy, which makes it easy to put on and take off.
The quality and ease of use is excellent with this hitch. I highly recommend!
I love the sturdiness of this rack. It's easy to tilt away from the car with my bike on it so I can get into my hatchback. I also love the ease of putting my bike on and taking it off. Takes maybe 2 mintues to secure. Love it!

Loving it very much. This bike rack is durable and holding up well. Much of the summer I leave my bike on the rack so I put it up and down to get into my SUV back end with groceries and stuff. Love it. Great purchase. I carry 2 bikes sometimes and it is very comfortable and easy to use.
I think the design is great. Holds our 2 bikes well. Love the locking feature.

Rack still works great, as designed. Its a little cumbersome to take on and off the car hitch heavy, done down on the ground so my wife cannot do that part herself, but once on, the bikes are held securely and are easily taken on and off.
Works good. It is what we wanted. It took a little effort to assemble in the heat and humidity. I got ‘er done though and I am pleased with it. Plus, even though Thule is a Swedish company the rack is made in the USA.
Great dual bike rack. Was able to buy a gently used unit from etrailer and it came looking like a brand new one. This replaced an older Thule unit that was bent while on vacation in FL. I love that it tilts back to give access to hatch of my Subaru Outback.
This product is definitely awesome. Very easy to assemble. It keeps my bicycle secure without compromising access to the trunk’s car.
I think it’s everything I asked for! The only complaint if any would be the 1.25” receiver post I think it could be 2” all the way just for strength! I’ll know more when we take our first trip.
Sturdy, easy to use, and folds up small. Well thought out design!
The bike rack itself seems to be well designed and built. The only flaw I see is the instructions are not very helpful. I would suggest a rewrite. Good thing for YouTube. Am looking forward to many years of use.
Fast shipping had it in 3 days. Had it assembled and ready to go the next day, got the unit hitched and the bikes loaded, and then came the thunderstorm.
Kind of difficult mounting without a lift, but the kit fit perfectly.
Great price
Fast delivery
too much plastic
but seemingly sturdy enough
