Bicycle racks were primarily created to provide convenience to bikers who enjoy the active lifestyle that biking provides. The Thule Apex XT Bike Rack has come a long way from its predecessors of bike transportation accessories. It is well-designed as a smooth and luxurious bike carrier. Its construction ensures its easy installation to any vehicle as well as the easy loading of bike frames over the cradles. In addition, the rack's Hitch-Switch design allows the entire hardware to easily tilt down, giving owners convenient access to the rear of their vehicles whenever needed. When the racks are not in use, the entire carrier can easily be folded away. This premium hanging bike rack also provides superior bike stability due to its anti-sway system that keeps the bikes secured. Its optimal spacing system effectively eliminates bike-to-bike and bike-to-car contact while on the road. During pit stops, reinforced cradle straps and built-in cable locks secure the bikes to the rack. Often referred to as a bike rack for the whole family, the Thule Apex XT Bike Rack can accommodate a number of bicycles in different sizes and frame styles.
