The New Standard for Performance and Ease of Use
Designed for maximum load carrying, the Roadway 4-Bike Hitch Carrier accommodates up to 4 bikes utilizing 2 inch hitch receivers at the tail end of your vehicle (1¼ receiver connections not supported). 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 4-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 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 effectively 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.

| 62 of 62 people found the following review helpful  Well Built, Good Fit and Finish, Pleasantly Surprised, By OOICU812 "Dave" (Dubuque, IA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thule 914 Roadway 4-Bike Hitch Rack (Automotive) This is a great product.The unit consists of a 1.25 inch receiver and a sleeve that screws onto it to convert it to fit into 2" receiver. It takes a couple of minutes to convert between sizes and is a solid, tight fit in either sized reciever. This rack does not use the standard pin to hold it into the reciever like most reciever based products. Instead this rack uses a treaded bolt that screws into one of the sides (the center of the hitch is solid metal and is threaded). This actually makes for a very solid attachment with minimal "wiggle". The only drawback to this is that you cannot use a locking reciever pin....hence if you live in a high crime area, it would be possible for someone to use a wrench to take out the bolt and walk off with your bike rack. This is not a issue where I live, but could be for some. The rack pivots in two places. One pivot is at the bottom allowing you to fold it down about 45 degrees to access a hatchback or rear... Read more 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful This is the bike rack you want, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thule 914 Roadway 4-Bike Hitch Rack (Automotive) I traded in my old, well-worn Thule bike rack for this newer model with the "folding" features for both rack and arm. It was a great choice. The fold down features on the new bike racks are much improved over earlier models, a simple lever thata middle-aged mom can easily use. I can fold down the rack to open the hatchback of my Subaru with a bag of groceries in one hand. And the arm of the rack that holds the bike is just as easy to use. The fold down features work so well that I haven't had to remove the bike rack from the car since vacation.This rack was easy to install, and easily held 3 adult mountain bikes on the bmupy NE US interstates for our vacation trip. Don't buy the cheaper fixed arm model, you'll upgrade to this one sooner or later, start with the best, you'll use your bike more often. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful  Excellent buy!, By This review is from: Thule 914 Roadway 4-Bike Hitch Rack (Automotive) I was unsure if this would work on my vehicle but it attached to the receiver hitch perfectly and works great. I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara and even though I cannot open the back door all the way I can open it about half way and still have access to the back of my vehicle. Bikes load easily and ride great. I haven't taken it off the back because of the ease of getting in and out with the ease of dropping the bike rack down. The only thing is that you do have to take the bike(s) off before you can do that. |
