Ordered for a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and it fits perfectly. Carrier feels solid and was easy to put together and mount on vehicle.



by:

The rack is great just what I was looking for.
The only issue I see is the straps are plastic so after using them for a little bit they broke. I had to order replacements. Let’s see how much time they last!



by:

Originally I was looking to put a hitch on my 2021 jeep renegade sport for a hitch mount bike rack, after seeing that I would either have to remove seam sealer and drill holes in my rear subframe (this is not a good option living in the rust belt), or remove my entire back bumper off and cut holes in it for the factory style hitch, and still have a rack that is illegal and blocks my license plate/brake lights turn signals I decided to look at different options. A roof rack is a little too high to lift a bike on comfortably. This thule outway platform 2 takes about 10 minutes to install correctly, and is solid and holds the bike securely, and the rack locks to the vehicle, and also the bikes lock to the rack no extra purchases required (comes with 2 keys and plastic spoiler supports). I have driven 80mph over potholes and bumps, also on extreme hills and has held securely.



by:

Great bike rack. The cable and hook system is extremely strong and tight and being bike to open the trunk with the rack attached (but without bike) is a godsend for packing. Assembly is somewhat difficult due to Thule’s IKEA-style picture instructions. Watching the video is essential. Once assembled, however, attaching and locking the rack in place is pretty simple. Be sure to wash and dry hooks, bumpers, and car surfaces to avoid scratches!



by:

The rear hatch mounted rack fit my X3 just as your website indicated - the technician who described how this rack would fit. I'm impressed with how well it is designed to be stable and to not impact the plastic spoiler above the rear window.

Great product. Packaging came damaged but product looked ok.

  • 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
    If your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a rear spoiler, and from my research it most likely is, you might want to consider the Hollywood Rack Over the Top # HRF2. Currently we only have this bike rack in 2 bike configuration. This bike rack is one of our newest products and is specifically designed to be used on vehicles with a rear spoiler. The design of this trunk mounted bike rack reduces the stress that can be placed on the rear spoiler when using a trunk mount bike rack. The...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier Recommendations for a 2010 Honda Odyssey
    The safest way to carry bikes is by using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike carrier. Trunk mount carriers only go up to 3 bikes, any more than that and it would put way too much stress on the attachment points on the vehicle. And the roof is probably not wide enough for all 4 bikes, let alone able to support the weight of 4 bikes. So the options are a combination of a trunk mount and roof mount set up or a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike carrier. I recommend the simplicity of a...

  • Do I Need To Use The Spoiler Support Straps For The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack
    We do recommend always using the spoiler support strap for additional stability and safety. Loosening the strap can be done fairly quickly, even quicker once you get the hang of it. From the looks of the spoiler on the back of a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV you will definitely want to use the spoiler support strap kit that comes with the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH56BV.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2013 Audi S4 Sedan
    The trunk-mount bike racks recommended for your 2013 Audi S4 Sedan can be seen on the linked page. These include both 2- and 3-bike carriers in both the hanging and platform styles. In general it is wise to use as lightweight a rack as possible in order to minimize the weight load on your trunk, but it is also true that the racks with the best construction and the most included features (like built-in locks) tend to weigh more. Better racks also tend to be easier to mount on the car. A...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Honda Accord Sedan and a Bike Rack
    For your 2009 Honda Accord sedan I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11496. With the other hitch options there is an additional part you would need to be able to use a bike rack but not with this hitch. This and all of the hitches for your Accord are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. Class I trailer hitches are rated for a maximum of 2 bikes because it cannot handle additional weight that is further away from the receiver. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks for you....

  • What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2021 Kia Niro EV?
    I have a great bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a hitch that will fit your EV model of 2021 Kia Niro. However, a great alternative solution is a trunk rack. For that route, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 # TH45JV or the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. Both OutWay racks have a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and comes with one-key system locks to deter the theft of your bikes from the rack as well as the rack from your vehicle. If you have bikes that have...

  • Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Nissan Altima
    First, all of the trailer hitches for the 2006 Nissan Altima are Class I trailer hitches that can carry a maximum of 2 bikes. To carry 3 bikes, I recommend going with a trunk mount bike rack. The best rack and the easiest rack to install is the Thule OutWay, # TH56BV. It uses retractable cables that make installation and removal fast and simple. For the women's bikes, in order to carry them more level, you will need to use bike adapter bars on them, # TH982XT. I have included a link to...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Toyota Prius
    The Thule OutWay, # TH56BV will fit your 2004 Toyota Prius! It holds 3 bikes and has a 99 pound total capacity. It can lock the bikes to the rack and the rack can be locked to the vehicle. It uses only 2 retractable cables to attach to the vehicle so it installs much quicker and easier than any other trunk mount carrier I have used.

  • Available 3-Bike Rack Options for 2010 Toyota Highlander
    Due to the fact that the support hooks would need to attach directly to the glass in the rear tailgate, none of our bike rack manufacturers recommend using a trunk mount rack on your vehicle. The glass lacks the strength to support the weight of the bikes and the carrier, and could shatter unexpectedly. This leaves a roof mount or a hitch mount option. If you have a bare roof, Rhino Rack the Vortex Aero Roof Rack that could be constructed using # RRVA137S-2 54 inch crossbars, the # RRRLKVA...

  • Is the Thule OutWay 2Bike or 3Bike the Better Choice for Mounting My Mountain and Hybrid Bikes
    I recommend the Thule OutWay -3 bike rack # TH56BV to easily mount your bikes on your 2013 Toyota Corolla. This rack allows you to carry up to 99 lbs. so you will not have to worry about carrying too close to the weight capacity. Also, mounting two bikes is easier on a bike rack which carries 3 bikes over a bike rack only designed for two. When mounting your bikes, always have the heavier bike mounted closer to the vehicle. In your case, the hybrid bike most likely weighs more and should...

  • 3 Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Mazda 5
    For a 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack for your 2008 Mazda 5 I would recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV for several reasons. But most importantly because you have small kid framed bikes and the arms of the rack are adjustable in width so they can accommodate kids bikes. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation...

  • Mounting an FS Mountain Bike on Thule OutWay Bike Rack on 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack # TH45JV will accommodate varying bike frame designs, including your mountain bike, but it may require the use of an adapter bar like the # TH982XT in order to fit over the arms and ride level. According to customer feedback, the Thule adapter bar works much better than other adapter bars for mountain bikes with the Raceway bike rack. The OutWay 2 has a maximum weight capacity of 66 pounds so you may want to weigh your bikes to determine if they will prove...

  • Comparing Class I Hitch and Hitch Bike Rack to Trunk-Mount Racks for 2013 Audi A4 Sedan
    We do offer several light-duty Class I hitches for your 2013 Audi A4 Sedan including the Curt # C11186 which does require you to use a support strap (for retaining your Curt manufacturer's warranty) when using the hitch with non-wheeled loads such as bike or cargo carriers. The other hitch brands do not have this requirement but just the same it would not be a bad idea to use a strap like # 18050 with any light duty Class I hitch. I have linked the written installation instructions as...

  • How To Carry 4 Bikes On A 2008 Mazda 5
    I do have a couple options for you but Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame part # 24773 that fits the 2008 Mazda 5 are designed to only carry 2 bikes because of it's limited tongue weight rating. The weight of the bikes and bike rack is all considered tongue weight on the hitch and putting 4 bikes on a rack in a Class I hitch would create too much leverage and possibly damage the hitch or vehicle. With that being said, I recommend to get a 2 bike rack for the Class I...

  • Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Carrier with Locks for a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
    All of the trunk mount bike carriers we offer carry either 2 or 3 bikes at most. I have seen trunk mount carriers that can hold 4 bikes but it is not a good idea. The further away from the vehicle you get the more leverage is placed on the attachment points on the vehicle which could lead to loss of bikes and carrier as well as damage to the vehicle. If you need to carry 4 bikes the best option is a trailer hitch and hitch mount carrier. This is also the safest way to carry the bikes and...

  • 3 Bike Rack for a 2016 Audi Allroad
    For all Class I Hitches available for your 2016 Audi Allroad like the Curt Custom Hitch, part # C11195, the design of the hitch and its mounting location, even as a 2 inch variant, is designed to carry weight without support in a certain zone behind the car. The hitch works effectively like a pivoting lever, with the weight of the bikes acting as the downward force on the lever. Too much weight, or too much weight outside of its safe zone, and the lever breaks. In this case, that means...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Volt to Carry Schwinn Windwood Cruisers
    After looking up pictures of your bike you would definitely need to use an adapter bar to carry your bike on a hanging bike rack. The adapter we recommend the most is the Swagman part # 64005 because it is the easiest to use of the ones we carry. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 3 Bikes and a 2016 Hyundai Tucson
    Yes, for your 2016 Hyundai Tucson I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar...

This bike rack will attach to the rear hatch of your 2006 Mini Cooper and the base will rest on the top of your bumper.
