Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Dodge Dart- Video
Today on our 2015 Dodge Dart, we're doing a test fit of the Thule Roadway hanging-style 2 bike rack. That part number is TH912XTR. Now we already have our bike loaded up, but first we're going to show you how we secure that down and then we'll go over some of the features of the rack itself. We have 2 cradles in place holding our bike with 3 straps, 2 on our frame and then 1 as our anti-sway strap here in the back. To release those we're just going to pull down and lift up, then we'll be able to pull our bike off of our rack and set it off to the side. With our bike out of the way, I would suggest that you replace your straps so you don't lose or damage any of them. With our straps back in place we'll take a few measurements here. Our first one's going to be our overall length added to the vehicle with our arms hanging out, which is going to be about 25 and a half inches. more
