The New Standard for Performance and Ease of Use
Designed with compatibility in mind, the Roadway 2-Bike Hitch Carrier works with either 1¼ inch, or 2 inch hitch receivers by means of an included adapter. It is also incredibly strong, stable and full featured, with durable high-strength steel construction and varied standard components, including: Stay-Put cradles with detachable anti-sway cages that prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact which dramatically reduces the chance of scratches to vehicles and bikes.
In addition, by way of its easy-to-use Hitch Switch lever, the Roadway 2-Bike Hitch Carrier has the ability to fold its carrier arms down at the push of a button when not in use and even tilt the carrier's upright structure away from vehicle, allowing for hatch or tailgate access (bikes must be removed first). This means that you can always get to every corner of your vehicle when you want to, without having to remove the carrier. This ability to fold carrier arms also makes it unnecessary to remove an unloaded carrier in order to perform everyday driving tasks like parking. Also impressive is the Roadway's virtually tool-free assembly. This makes installation a breeze and removal just as fast when the need to do so eventually comes.

About Thule
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.

| 24 of 26 people found the following review helpful  Outstanding product!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thule Roadway 2 Bike Hitch Mount (Sports) This is 5-stars and it's not even close.I'm sure there are cheaper solutions but I didn't want to fool around with other products and then end up having to buy this anyway a year from now. I've heard good things about this Thule rack from friends for years and now I'm in a position to attest to the quality - worth every penny. Pros: - Easy to put on and take off. - Bends out of the way so you can get in and out of the hatch back (4-Runner) - Rock solid engineering and quality materials are obvious - I'll have this for life - I have no doubts. - SL2 lock for securing this to your hitch and making "thief-proof" is a must and I'm very impressed with how they pulled that off as well. Buy the lock right away - you're going to want it. Cons - none yet to speak of - I'll update this if something comes up. Comment: I have my doubts about the lock that secures the bikes to the rack - the cable...

Works well enough to transport my bikes without having to remove any wheels. The lower folding portion does make hatch opening easier. I chose the Roadway for the folding top portion. This great when the rack is on your car but no bike is being carried, it folds down improving clearance and doesn't look as funky. The receiver post is on the long side for my car but the designed length is probably that way for more universal fitment. I swear a car behind me at a stop light is going to run into the up-post someday. As much as I don't like reflective stuff, some 3M reflective tape on the lower end of the up-post might be a good idea. The included strap works fine but I opted for the Thule plastic sway cages. The strap is being used to keep the front wheel form moving side to side. The Thule snug tight 2 lock works well.I suggest using anti-seize on whatever bolt/locking pin you use to install this. Also make... Read more 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful Solid construction, good design!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thule Roadway 2 Bike Hitch Mount (Sports) I read a few reviews of this and other bike racks of comparable size and construction and decided this one was for me. I am an occasional biker, but I travel alot by car (college student) and so a 2-bike rack made sense (I only ever carry my bike).It has worked out great so far!! Before I installed a hitch on my car, I put the rack on a friend's car for a trip. No sweat over the installation! Then, when I had to switch it over to my car, it was no problem at all. Both cars were able to handle 4hrs+ with the bike with no damage to car, bike, hitch or rack. The folding ability is a must (I own a Volvo wagon) and it works well. The security lock is a good idea, it was worth the money when my car was parked for an extended period of time in a public area. Also- the adapter for the mount (2" to 1.25") works perfectly. I was very impressed. No regrets! I would recommend this product to anybody. |
