How Many Bikes Can the Thule Hitching Post Part # TH934XTR Carry With a 2013 Honda Fit
Question:
hello at the beginning of your video about a Thule hitch you are testing on a 2013 Honda fit a statement is made that it can only hold two bikesinch which is odd because you are testing a four bike carrier can you explain this statment? Thanks

That's a good question. The reason the demo video of the Thule Hitching Post Part # TH934XTR states that it can only be used to carry 2 bikes is because of the hitch that it is being used on.
Class I hitches are low capacity hitches for smaller, light duty vehicles. With these hitches you can only carry up to 2 bikes at a time. The added weight and leverage of additional bike would put too much stress on the hitch/vehicle.
This bike rack is very flexible. It can be used on virtually every hitch configuration. But when it is used on a Class I hitch like what would be on your 2013 Honda Fit you would be limited to only carry 2 bikes. If you were to use the rack on a Class II and up hitch you could use the racks full 4 bike capacity.
I attached the demo video you referenced plus a help article that covers the differenced between the hitch classifications for you to check out.
