Pivoting Arms with Ratcheting Hooks

Thule T2 Pro X ratcheting wheel hooks

The T2 Pro X 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

Thule T2 Pro X sliding wheel trays

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

Thule T2 Pro X folding and tiliting designThule T2 Pro X cable locks

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.


Thule T2 Pro X folding and tiliting design

To make tilting and folding easier, the T2 Pro X'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

Thule T2 Pro X cable locksThule T2 Pro X cable locks

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.


Thule T2 Pro X reflectors

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 to remove the rack from your hitch. Thule One Key System locks (sold separately) can be used to secure your bikes to the rack. Additional cores let you make all your Thule products keyed alike.

High quality. Love the easy access handle for tilting up and down. Tightens into receiver hitch, keeping the bikes very stable. It comes with one lock for the receiver hitch. Wish there were two more, one for each bike. The mechanism is there, but no locks.

Still love it. Use regularly, and it still looks and performs like new. Worth every penny!

Works great, easy to use, secure with locking mechanism so I don't have to worry about it wandering off. Worth the money.

  • Will Thule T2 2 Bike 916XTR Work with Fat Tire Bikes
    I do have an option for you but the Thule T2 2 Bike 916XTR is not compatible with fat tire bikes as there aren't any adapters for this rack. Therefore, you'll need to upgrade to the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # TH83GC with Fat Tire Adapter Kit for Thule Pro X Platform-Style Bike Rack part # TH97YC if you wish to carry fat tire bikes.

  • Does Thule Offer a Hitch Mounted Platform Bike Rack Option For Carrying 3 Bikes
    In the platform bike arena there are only two choices - either 2 bike or 4 bike. I understand not wanting to add the extra distance on the back of your vehicle, however, a single bike expansion attachment is not available. If you determine you do want the Thule 2 bike Expansion Accessory # TH83GC, please make sure your vehicle can hold the additional weight of the accessory which is 33 lbs, plus the weight of your bike. Another option to carry three bikes is a hanging rack. The Thule Helium...

  • Is a Thule T2 Pro X Platform Rack and Draw Tite Max Hitch good for a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon?
    This combination is a great fit for the 2016 Outback. The Draw Tite Max Frame, part # 75673 will give a strong base for pulling a number of things including the bicycles and the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Platform Rack, part # TH83GC will provide a good base for multiple bikes. Additionally, you can expand the T2 Pro X by adding an expansion kit, part # TH55GC, which allows for 4 bikes to be carried rather than just two.

  • Recommended bike Rack For Heavy E-Bikes On A 2022 Subaru Forester
    The Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83GC would be a fit for your 2022 Subaru Forester's 2" receiver tube, but it only has a 50lb per bike capacity. With most e-bikes being around 60-80lbs you might have a hard time transitioning to an e-bike without having to purchase another bike rack. Instead I recommend the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR. This bike rack has an 80lb per bike capacity and wheel hoops that are designed to fit tire widths up...

  • High Capacity Platform Bike Rack that Can be Adapted to 4 Bikes
    Not with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR, but for a high capacity platform bike rack that is similar the Thule T2 Pro X part # TH83GC can be adapted to 4 bikes with the # TH55GC This rack has a 50 lb per bike capacity but an overall capacity of 160 bikes when carrying 4 of them so some will have to be smaller.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a Front Mounted Hitch
    The Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack item # TH83GC doesn't have the strength to be rated for a front mount hitch. The folding point isn't strong enough plus it raises the bike rack up quite a bit. This is a great feature that almost all bike racks have but it puts the rack and bike into your sight line on a front hitch. Additionally, not all bike racks are rated for being used on a front hitch which is why this data isn't out there. I recommend the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack item # HLY64FR....

  • Is The Thule T2 Pro X Compatible With Any Ramps For Heavy E-Bikes?
    I took a look at what we have for the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83GC, however there actually isn't an option to use a ramp with this bike rack. Instead, to use a ramp you'd have to use an entirely different bike rack. If you're interested in this option, I recommend taking a look at the: -Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # BA22B, with the ramp # ANVBRB. This ramp will slide directly into the Kuat NV 2.0, and provide an easy loading solution for heavy...

  • Comparing Kuat Sherpa 2.0 and Thule T2 Pro X Bike Racks
    I recommend the Thule T2 Pro X # TH83GC over the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B - there really isn't much of a contest between these two. The Sherpa 2.0 definitely looks prettier, but it falls behind to the T2 Pro X on most categories when it comes to fitment with bikes. The only thing the Sherpa 2.0 really has on the T2 Pro X is the integrated cable locks but if you add the Thule Lock Core Kit # TH450200 so the ratcheting arms can be locked. Here is a breakdown of the key features I'm looking...

  • Expansion Kits for Thule T2 Pro X Platform Style Hitch Racks
    There are multiple versions of the Thule T2 platform style hitch bike racks. If you have the Thule T2 Pro X # TH83GC then this cannot be installed onto another # TH83GC. In this rack you need to use the special lightweight expansion piece # TH55GC which is much lighter than the actual weight of rack so it is too heavy for use as an extension. In general bike rack add-on expansion kits will use light construction than their similar but independent rack counterparts.

  • Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Work With Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack On 2015 Subaru Forester?
    Yes, our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98839 will work with the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack 2-Bike # TH83GC or 4-Bike # TH26ZE behind your 2015 Subaru Forester. Both of these bikes racks are 6-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack. Our etrailer Receiver # e98839 is 4-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of your bumper so you will have 2-1/4" of clearance to the rack. Personally I do prefer the appearance of the Curt Receiver...

  • Using the Tailgate of a Truck With a Platform Bike Rack Installed
    It will depend a little bit on the design of the individual truck, however the tilt-away feature of the Thule T2 Pro Xbike rack, part # TH83GC gives it quite a bit of range away from most vehicles but I can't guarantee it will clear your tailgate. I've included a video review of of this rack for you to see how the tilt-away works. You can add locks to the T2 Pro X with part # TH450200, a two-lock OneKey Cylinder that will allow you to key the T2 alike with all of your other Thule accessories.

  • How to Use Thule T2 Bike Rack While Towing R-Pod Camper
    I may have a solution for you, however you will not be able to use the Swagman Straddler # S80503 referenced in your question with your Thule T2 Pro X Class Bike Rack # TH83GC. The primary reason for this is that the Thule T2 Bike Rack is simply not rated for use on a trailer. Because a bike rack mounted on a trailer will be subjected to greater bounce and movement compared to that of a standard passenger vehicle, only certain bike racks are tested and approved for this use. As you also...

  • Comparing Thule T2 Pro X vs Thule T2 Pro XTR
    The Thule T2 Pro X # TH83GC carries 2 bikes, has a hitch lock but the bike locks are sold separately. It carries bikes up to 50 pound with a max tire width of 3 inches. The distance from the hitch pin to the closest part of the rack is 6-3/4 inches. It fits tires with a wheel diameter of 20" to 29" and with a maximum wheelbase distance of 49 inches. It offers a 2-bike add-on with part # TH55GC. You can buy the rack and add-on together with part # TH26ZE if you think you might carry...

  • Recommendation for Carrying Bikes Between Truck and Trailer
    For your application I recommend checking out the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-204. This fits a 2" hitch and allows you to use 1 receiver for towing your trailer and then you can mount your Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack # TH83GC in the taller receiver. Please note this will only be a viable solution if you don't have anything tall on the tongue of your trailer - like a jack. You can check to see if your bike rack will hit anything on your trailer by measuring from...

  • Does Replacement Locking Ratchet Arm Assembly 753-3579 Fit 29 inch Wheel Size
    Yes, the Thule replacement arm part # 753-3579 does work with 29 inch wheels as it's a replacement part for the Thule T2 part # TH83GC which can be used on bike wheel sizes that are between 20 and 29 inches.

  • Solution for Thule DoubleTrack Bike Rack to Carry Wider Tire than 3 inch
    We do not carry any longer straps for the Thule DoubleTrack that you have. All we'd have are the same length you have now. Your bike rack can carry bikes with up to a 3 inch tire width. For a new bike rack the Thule T2 Pro X # TH83GC is a really nice option. On it's own it can support bikes that have tire widths of up to 3 inches, but with the fat tire adapter kit # TH97YC it can accommodate tires up to 5 inches. Its ratcheting hooks secure the bikes by the front wheels without any frame...

  • Can the Thule T2 Pro X Still Be a Tilting Rack for Access with the 2-Bike Extension and Bikes Loaded
    Yes, when you add-on the 2 extra bikes with the Thule T2 Pro # TH83GC to the 2-bike Extension # TH55GC you will still be able to tilt the rack down to gain entry to the hatch. I spoke to my Thule representative and he told me that although you can do it that they don't typically recommend it since the bikes and the rack can weight up to 200lbs going up as well as coming down, which is quite a bit of weight to support for just one person. This is really a two-person job.

  • Solution for Additional Clearance With Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack on Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    One way to gain additional clearance so your Thule T2 # TH83GC would be to use an extension like the Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 7" # HE06. Keep in mind, this will reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50%. This is the shortest extension we have. Another option would be the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop/Rise - 16K # 325-GH-503. This shank measures 9-1/8" from the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver. The only potential issue...

  • Will Thule T2 Pro X or Another Platform Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Lexus RX 350
    The Thule T2 Classic # TH9044-TH9046 will clear the rear of your 2011 Lexus RX 350 when down in the carrying position. But when folded up it will likely not fit. It measures 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest rail when folded. This is not enough to clear the bumper on your RX 350. I found that the hitches we have installed on this vehicle measure between 4-1/2 and 5-1/2 inches from the center of the pin hole back to clear the bumper. For an option that will...

  • Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack For 2016 Hyundai Tucson
    I do have some insight for your bike rack questions, but since your hitch will be the first thing that you install on your 2016 Hyundai Tucson let's talk about that first. For your Hyundai, I recommend using the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver # C13240. This hitch has a Gross Trailer Weight of 3,500 lbs and a Max Tongue Weight of 525 lbs, but keep in mind that you need to go by your Hyundai's max tongue weight. My research shows that your Tucson has a tongue weight capacity of 750...

  • Recommended Hitch Reducer for a 2023 Honda CR-V to use a Thule T2 Pro
    The Replacement 2" Adapter for Swagman 1-1/4" to 2" Bike Racks # SP323 is actually not going to work with your Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83GC, instead you'd need to use the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 which will work and has been approved by Thule.

  • Will Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack Clear Large Spare on 2023 Jeep Wrangler
    The answer to your question will depend on the hitch and the tire you have on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler. Some hitches like the # e98856 have a longer receiver tube to help clear the spare. If you have the factory hitch I'm not sure where it sits relative to the tire. The closest point of the # TH83GC is 6-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole. Depending on how far down your tire sits it may make contact here, I can't really say without trying it on your Jeep. A little further out at...

The Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2 inch Hitches # Y02483 has a weight capacity of 250 pounds and can carry up to 4 bikes.
