Pivoting Arms with Ratcheting Hooks

Thule T2 Pro XTR ratcheting wheel hooks

The T2 Pro XTR has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, so it won't scratch or scuff the paint. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook. To unload your bike, press the gray button on the upright arm to release the ratcheting hook, and slide the hook up.


Sliding Rear Wheel Cradles

Thule T2 Pro XTR sliding wheel trays

The wheel trays have cradles with ratcheting straps to secure your rear wheel to the rack. The cradles slide along the tray to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. To secure your wheel, run the strap over the rim and back down through the strap buckle and pull tight. To remove your bike, press the quick-release button on the buckle and undo the strap.


Front-Mounted Handle for Easy Tilting and Folding

Thule T2 Pro XTR folding and tiliting designThule T2 Pro XTR cable locks

The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.


Thule T2 Pro XTR folding and tiliting design

To make tilting and folding easier, the T2 Pro XTR's release lever is mounted on the front of the rack. This means you won't have to reach through or around your bikes with one hand to reach the lever, while supporting the rack's weight with the other, when lowering the rack. Instead, you'll be able to hold the rack with both hands the entire time.


Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device

Thule T2 Pro XTR cable locksThule T2 Pro XTR cable locks

The rack quickly installs in your hitch receiver, without the need for tools. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. Turning the knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge in the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection. It also sets the integrated SnugTite hitch pin into place, securing the rack to your receiver.


Thule T2 Pro XTR ratcheting wheel hooks

The T2 Pro XTR has built-in wheels that let you easily roll the rack so you don't have to lift it and carry it to your vehicle.


Complete Security

Thule Pro XTR loaded on vehicle

The T2 Pro XTR includes One-Key System locks to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. Integrated cable locks thread around your bikes' frames and insert into the lock that slides along the cable. The cables store inside the arms when not in use.


Thule T2 Pro XTR loaded on vehicle

The lock on the hand knob secures the rack to your vehicle. Once locked, the hand knob will spin freely so a would-be thief can't operate it. The locks are keyed alike, so you only need to use 1 key. Additional One-Key System locks (sold separately) let you make all your Thule products keyed alike.

nice bike rack, great service!

Good hitch...no issues after year of use on a 2015 Honda Accord sport. The hitch bottom outs a lot due to the low clearance but this isn't a fault of the hitch. The Honda Accord does not have a lot of ground clearance.



by:

Vast improvement over the old Thule rack. The instructions could have been a little clearer for installing the locks. Better and clearer pictures needed. I’m happy to see lock tight is on the screws. I love the tilt and the built in Wheels that allow me to move the rack without picking it up and carrying it.



by:

Sturdy. Easy to put together. Second Thule rack and I trust it will secure my bikes.



by:

Had this for a year now and it is the best rack I've ever owned! Love the tool-free ability to install it on the truck without needing wrenches. Tool-free and anti-rattle, love it!



by:

Excellent rack for the entire family. Changing from 2-bikes to 4-bikes requires some unbolting. Not quite a quick modular changeover but definitely not permanent either.



by:

one problem that i wasn't aware of when i ordered...i will need to get the trim around my hitch receiver cut out wider on my 2024 Subaru Outback for me to be able to use this on my car...the special pin on the side needs to open out wide and my hitch receiver is in line with the bottom trim of my back bumper without room to open the pin out--on our truck the hitch sits below the bumper.



by:

My one stop shop for everything relating to receivers, hitches, and racks! Great prices + amazing employees = extremely satisfied customers.

  • Installation Instructions for Curt Front-Mount Hitch 33328 for 2004 Honda Pilot
    I linked the installation instructions for the Curt hitch # 33328 which is the front-mount hitch that fits your 2004 Pilot. This front hitch requires no drilling and bolts on with included hardware using pre-drilled mounting holes as noted in the photo. I also included two helpful articles and a video on hitch installation. One article covers the entire process and the other article and video address the process of cleaning out the Pilot's frame weld nuts. These nuts can develop corrosion...

  • Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for a Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack
    I believe you're looking for a more secure hitch pin solution, in which I have just what you need! Check out the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitch - Flush # e98882 This is a locking hitch pin that will lock through your hitch receiver to secure your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # TH83JV. If you have thicker hitch walls on your hitch, then you'd want to use the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # e98881, which is an 1" longer...

  • What is the Difference Between the Thule T2 Pro and Thule T2 Pro XT Version
    The biggest change between the Thule T2 Pro and Pro XT # TH83JV is the distance between the bikes. Originally the T2 Pro was designed to work with Fat bikes right out of the box. The only issue was people had a hard time getting 2 Fat bikes to fit because of the wider frames to go around the large tires. So the new version corrects that issue by spacing the bike trays out so they are now 12-1/2 inches apart on center. Now there is more space for Fat bikes and it makes loading 2 regular...

  • Can the Thule EasyFold XT Be Used with the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender
    I do have an option for you but the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender part # y02483 is only recommended for use with a bike rack that has a one piece 2" shank. Therefore, it would not be recommended to use the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202 as it has a 1-1/4" to 2" shank adapter though it would physically fit. It sounds like you have some pretty heavy e-bikes so I recommend either taking a look at the Swagman E-Spec 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack part...

  • How to Secure the Thule T2 Pro XT in Your Receiver So It Doesnt Wobble.
    You'll just need to unlock the knob on the Thule T2 Pro XT # TH83JV and then continue tightening it down until it is snug, wobbling it along the way to make sure that it is secure in the hitch receiver. If you fast forward through the attached video until about the 2:40 mark, this explains in detail how to install this rack on your hitch and how to secure the anti-wobble knob to make sure that there isn't any more of the wobbling that you're experiencing. You'll need to unlock the knob...

  • Towing While Using Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack
    There is a way for you to tow your small trailer AND use the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack # TH83JV, although you would not be able to do so by replacing the lower tube on the rack. Instead, what you can do is use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver # D210. This has a ball mount that fits 2" hitches and has a receiver above it; the receiver is also 2" so it will work with the T2 Pro XTR. The ball mount can be locked to your current hitch with Hitch Lock # e98880 and for a...

  • Assembly Instructions for Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack # TH83JV
    I have attached the complete instructions manual for the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV below which details both the assembly instructions and the correct bike loading process. Most of the rack comes pre-assembled and it's really just a matter of putting together a few of the components out of the box. I have attached a short video demonstration on the Thule T2 Pro that you can also check out.

  • Why Won't My Key Turn My Lock On My Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack?
    This is actually a fairly common issue as confirmed by Thule. With regards to your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83JV, they recommend running the key in and out a few times, while wiggling it around a bit. Often times there is some extra metal on the keys that just needs to be worn off. If that still does not work, let me know what key you have and I'd be happy to find a replacement for you.

  • What is Weight Capacity of Thule T2 Pro With and Without Extension
    The Thule T2 Pro part # TH83JV that you referenced has a 60 lb per bike capacity when used as a two bike rack but when using the add-on part # TH9036XT the overall bike rack is then limited to 160 lbs. This would mean for three bikes you'd be limited to 53 lbs per bike.

  • Bike Rack that Will Let Tailgate Swing Open on 2017 Jeep Wrangler
    Using the Thule T2 Pro XTR for 4 bikes, # TH69TX or # TH83JV for 2 bikes are a great way to allow you to open the rear tailgate on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler while still being able to keep the bike rack in place and either one of those racks is going to look fantastic on the back of the Jeep. You can't go wrong with either one!

  • Compatibility Of Platform Bike Rack With Jeep Wrangler Spare Tire
    The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV will need an extension to clear your rear spare. From the center of the hitch pin hole this rack is 7 inches to the closest part of the rack when in position to carry bikes and when folded is 5 inches to closest part. This is an excellent bike rack, so I recommend using the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. This will reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50% but that won't be an issue with...

  • Is the Thule T2 Pro XTRO Compatible with the Draw-Tite # DT73RR for a 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon?
    Yes, the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B has 6-5/8 inches from the center of the pinhole to the closest part of the rack when folded up. With that measurement, it will be close, but you do have 5/8 inches past your rear bumper if you are using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch - 2" # DT73RR.

  • Upgrading Old T2 Ratchet Arms and Wheel Trays to Be Compatible with 26 Inch Wheels with Fat Tires
    The Thule T2 is the older style and the T2 Classic # TH9044-TH9046 and T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV are the newer style. The newer T2 Classic and the pro xtr can accept tires up to 5 inches wide but it does require changing the strap location. I've attached a photo to assist. The older T2 requires the Fat Tire Adapter Kit for Thule T2 Platform-Style Bike Rack # TH919 which will work in the same way as the photo attached to accommodate your 4.8 inch wide tires. Since you have the older version...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Triathlon Bike with Deep Section Wheels
    For your triathlon bikes that have deep section wheels the Thule T2 Pro bike rack part # TH83JV would be a fantastic option. The wheel trays can slide to your narrower wheelbase easily and the wheel trays are designed to accommodate taller and wider wheel setups like what you can see in the picture I attached. I also attached an install video for this rack for you to check out as well. You'll want a 2 inch hitch installed on your 2018 Subaru Forester like the Draw Tite part # 75876 installed...

  • What Bike ramp Can I Use for the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV?
    I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, we currently don't carry any bike ramps that are designed for your Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV. The only thing that would come close would be to purchase something like the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps - 8" Lift - 74" Long - Qty 2 # RR-TR-8XL to use with your current rack. With that being said, if you are open to purchasing another rack, we do have a great rack that has a built-in ramp. For this route, I recommend the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR....

  • Is there a Longer Rear Wheel Strap for the Thule T2 Pro Bike Racks
    You will need to put the rear wheel cradle strap into the fat bike configuration which will give it more reach to fit around your new tire size if you haven't done so already. I have included a picture showing how to feed the strap through for both the standard configuration and the fat bike configuration. If you are already in the fat bike configuration then you would need to use an alternative strap, such as one of the cinch straps in set # HE4084 since there isn't a longer one for the...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander and Bike Rack Options
    The Thule T2 Pro XTR for 2 inch hitches part # TH83JV or for 1-1/4 inch hitch part # TH23JV are very nice bike racks that I would recommend highly. They only touch the bikes at the tires and can tilt up when not in use. Many refer to these as best options for carrying two bikes. Basically any bike rack designed for a 2 inch hitch is going to fit the Curt hitch part # C11363 you referenced which is a fit for your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander. I attached a link to a page that has all of the...

    The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack part # TH83JV and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76182 for the 2014 - 2018 Subaru Forester are compatible. When it comes to bike racks and hitches you really just want to make sure that the bike rack has the correct sized shank to fit into the hitch and the weight capacity of the hitch can handle the maximum weight of the bike rack. The Draw-Tite hitch can handle 525 lbs tongue weight. The bike rack weighs 52 lbs plus the...

    There isn't a way to use the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Sprinter Rear Door # TH302043 with a Ford Transit like your T250 model. So do you have a hitch that you could use a bike rack in? I am not totally understanding the last part of the question you submitted.

  • Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation for Best Visibility with Rear Camera
    A platform bike rack that has folding masts like the Saris SuperClamp part # SA4025F would be a great choice. When you aren't carrying any bikes the rack would fold down far enough that your rear camera would be unobstructed. Also since the wheel clamps are to the outsides of the rack it would have the least amount of obstruction when carrying bikes as well. You'd still have to look through the frame of the bikes but there's no real way to get around that with a bike rack carried at the...

  • Which Bike Rack is More Stable Thule T2 XTB or Saris SuperClamp EX
    I attached test course videos down below that show the Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4025F and the Thule T2 Pro XTB 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH9034XT both being driven on our test course. It appears the T2 is noticeably more stable. It is considerable heavier at 52 lbs compared to the 35 lbs of the Saris so that might be how it's able to be more stable. Both are amoung the nicest racks money can buy though so you can't go wrong with either.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 1500 with RamBox
    There are several different ways you can haul bike(s) on your 2016 Ram 1500. The best way to do so would pertain to what type of bike(s) you have and how you would like to carry them i.e. roof, hitch, bed etc. However, since you have the RamBox and it is not ideal to lift a bike on top of a truck, I recommend using a hitch mounted bike rack as there is also a good chance that you have a trailer hitch installed on your Ram. We have a few option which are platform style, hanging style, wheel...

  • Availability of 4 Bike Rack for Use on an RV
    I am guessing by RV you mean camper or 5th wheel trailer. If this is the case then I recommend using the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric Bike Rack # LGA77FR. This is compatible with up to 2 bikes but can be expanded to a 4-bike system with the 2-Bike Add-On for Lets Go Aero V-Lectric Electric Bike Rack for 2" Hitches # LGA94FR. It isn't a traditional platform rack but it does secure the bikes by their wheels so there is no frame contact and has a whopping capacity of 75 lbs per bike, making it a...

  • Best Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Electra Townie Bikes Carried by 2010 Toyota 4Runner
    The best solution is going to be the T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV. It's a platform bike rack that will only touch your bikes at the tires and when you are ready you can have the extension piece part # TH9036XT installed on it and it would be converted to a 4 bike rack. This will basically give you the nicest bike rack setup on the market that I know would be your best option for a 1,000 mile road trip. I attached a couple review videos for both products for you to check out as well.
