The Thule Apex XT 4-Bike Hitch Bike Rack delivers superior stability, convenience, and safety for transporting up to four bikes. Integrated anti-sway cradles prevent bike-to-bike contact while disappearing when not needed, keeping frames secure and protected. Quick ratcheting cradle straps make loading and securing bikes simple, and the compact cradle design accommodates a wide variety of bike sizes and frame styles. With 7 inches of spacing between each bike, the rack ensures ample clearance and safe transport. The HitchSwitch tilt function provides easy access to the rear of the vehicle, and integrated grab handles make carrying and handling the rack effortless. Tool-free installation and included locks offer peace of mind while traveling on roads or light off-road conditions.
