The Thule Apex XT 2 is a two-bike hitch rack that carries bikes by their top tubes on anti-sway cradles. It stands out for high ground and bumper clearance, tool-free installation with the SnugTite stinger, and HitchSwitch levers that fold the arms and rack down for rear access. Bikes sit about seven inches apart to limit contact, and a built-in cable lock secures them to the rack. It suits riders who want a sturdy, easy-to-load rack for two bikes and don't need a platform-style tray.

The Thule Apex XT Black 2 is a hitch-mounted rack that carries two bikes. It offers good ground and bumper clearance. Bikes sit seven inches apart so they don't touch each other.
Installation needs no tools. The SnugTite stinger and a hand knob tighten the rack in the receiver. HideAway anti-sway cradles with ratcheting straps hold the bikes in place and make loading easy.
HitchSwitch levers fold the arms and the rack down so you can reach the rear of the vehicle. A built-in cable lock secures the bikes to the rack. The rack works with carbon frames. It suits bikes with horizontal top tubes best. Some full-suspension and women's or low-step frames may need frame adapters.
