Mounting an FS Mountain Bike on Thule OutWay Bike Rack on 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
Is it possible mount my 2014 Sepcialized Epic to the Thule OutWay?

Expert Reply:
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 to be too heavy a load. Keep in mind that this is only a 2 bike rack. If you need to carry 3 bikes, I recommend the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Rack # TH56BV.
