The Apex XT by Thule is a premium hanging hitch rack that makes loading and unloading up to 2 bikes easier than ever. It features a SnugTite stinger system that allows for simple and secure installation without any tools and is compatible with both 1.25 and 2 inch receivers. Its compact cradle design accommodates a wide variety of bikes and sits them 7 inches apart to prevent bike-to-bike contact while integrated anti-sway components provide further stability. It has a locking cable to secure your bikes and ward off thieves at pit stops and trailheads. When not in use, the HitchSwitch design allows you to easily fold the carrier's arms and tilt the entire rack down for convenient access to the rear of your vehicle.
