Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 BMW X1- Video

Today on our 2015 BMW X1, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Thule T2 Classic and that's part number TH9044. It's a platform style rack, it holds two bikes with zero frame contact. We have this wheel hook upfront here, putting down pressure into the front wheel cradle here. The back, we have this adjustable wheel cradle here that's keeping our wheel in place. Like I said, it's a really nice feature for being it a no frame contact especially if you got like a carbon fiber bike or if you just don't want any scratches or anything like that. Another great feature this bike rack has is it has the ability to tilt away from our X1 so we can gain access to our rear hatch. We're going to locate this lever here. more

We have this wheel hook here in the front, putting down pressure into the front wheel cradle. Here in the back we've got a wheel strap going over our wheel and keeping that in place. So it's a really nice feature if you've got a carbon fiber bike or a bike that you'd just like to keep from getting any scratches. Let's go ahead and point out one of the main features though. more
