Thule DoubleTrack Folding 2 Bike Rack for 2" and 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches
Thule DoubleTrack Folding 2 Bike Hitch Rack is a rugged, versatile bike carrier that can transport two bicycles regardless of frame design, suspension or wheel size. Whether you are an avid cyclist or just out for an occasional ride, this bike carrier is sure to get your bicycle to your favorite destination easily and safely. The Thule Stinger Swinger allows the rack to be used in 2" and 1-1/4" hitches. Bikes are secured with attachment points at the wheels and the frame, ensuring your bikes aren't going anywhere and can't sway.
After a long day of blazing trails, the last thing you want to have to do is struggle to get your bikes into the carrier. The Thule DoubleTrack Folding 2 Bike Hitch Rack gives you the easiest loading height possible-you only need to lift the bike a few inches to sit in the wheel mount cradles. Simply place the bike wheels into the wheel cradles, lower the Ratcheting Quick Load hook down on the bike frame to secure the bike, then pull the wheel straps through the wheel. Thick padding around the hooks protect the bike and its finish. Independent adjustable wheel hoops allow you to offset each bike on the rack ensuring the two bikes don't make contact with the other.

Thule Stinger SwingerThe piece of the rack that slides into the trailer hitch on the vehicle is often referred to as the base, shank or stinger. The stinger on this Thule bike rack can easily be switched from the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" size to the 2" x 2" size by sliding a one piece, 2" sleeve over the 1-1/4" stinger. It is held in place with one screw.
One of Thule's locking cylinders can be inserted into the black circular hole on the gray button which is used to release the ratchet and move the hook up. Both hooks can accept a locking cylinder. Order the 4-pack of cylinders (TH544) if you want to use the same keys for the hook locks and the hitch lock (THSTL2).
