The Thule Raceway 2 Bike Racks part number # TH9001 and # TH9001PRO, and the # TH9001PRO are all discontinued model. These have been updated to the newest version which is the OutWay # TH45JV. It has several upgrades from the previous generation so it would be the best rack for you to use.

The # TH45JV is lighter at only 13 pounds. They have upgraded the cradling system with road dampening technology, as well as an improved spooling mechanism and has changed to only 2 cables. The arms have the ability to move independent of each other, both up and down and side to side to fit a wider variety of bikes.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
