Bike Compatibility for Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Carrier for Trek Bikes

Question:

Hello, I am interesting in purchasing the Thule Apex 5 for my family. Before I place an order, I would like to check with your professional advise to see if the following bikes fit for the rack. I have 3 kid bikes which are Trek MT60 boy, MT60 girl, and MT220 boy. And my wife has a Trek Skys women. Are those fit for the rack? I am very appreciate if you can give me your professional advise.

The Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Carrier # TH9026XT is capable of carrying the bikes you mentioned as long as the bikes do not exceed the 150 lb weight capacity of the rack.

With the number of bikes you are planning to transport, you will definitely want to plan on how you will secure each of them to this bike carrier to ensure a secure and safe fit.

For the bikes you referenced for your wife and children, you might be interested in the Thule Bike Adapter # TH982XT, which provides a horizontal bar for those bikes. It allows for the level transportation of the bikes and increases ground clearance during transport. I have provided a video link to a review of this product.
