The Thule Parkway is the perfect hitch-mounted bike rack for weekend warriors and part-time riders. The simple, solid design offers a great option for basic bike transportation.

Rotating, sliding cradles hold your bikes firmly in place on the rack arms while protecting the frames from scratches and abrasions. The cushioned cradles have soft rubber straps that secure the bikes in place, helping to prevent bike-to-bike contact during transport.

The dual arms on this rack offer great support for your bikes and reduce the need for a bike adapter bar. An adapter bar may be required, however, for some women's, children's and alternative bike frames.

Parkway features a pin at its base that can be removed to tilt the rack away from your vehicle for convenient access to your rear cargo area (after the bikes have been removed).

Parkway includes a built-in anti-rattle device on the shank that reduces vibration and noise in the hitch for a smoother, quieter ride. A Snug-Tite hitch lock (THSTL2; sold separately) is available for locking the rack to your hitch. Add a cable lock (TH538XT; sold separately) to lock your bikes to the rack.

The rack comes with an anti-sway strap to reduce movement of the handlebars and front wheels during transport.

• Recommended Two Bike Rack, Swagman XTC-2, Part # S64670 for Use on Rear of Trailer

• Comparing The Thule Parkway 2 Bike Rack and The Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack

The Parkway 2 rack will only fit 2 inch hitches and the Roadway 2 will fit both 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches. Since your Acura RDX has a 2 inch hitch both of these bike racks will fit your vehicle.

• Recommendation for a 2 Bike Rack for a 2008 Mercedes ML350
  
• The Thule Parkway Bike Rack, # TH958, is designed to fit in 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. If your 2008 Mercedes ML350 has a 2 inch trailer hitch, the rack will fit. You will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the rack out to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle. If that distance is less than 5-1/4 inches, the bike rack will clear the rear of the vehicle. This rack has a unique design so I urge you to also look at the third picture on the product page
