Can Fat Bike and Kids Bikes Load on Thule Apex Swing Bike Rack
Updated 11/25/2025 | Published 11/24/2025
Question:
I would like to load my fat tire bike on the Thule Apex Swing 4 along with a couple of kids bikes. Will that work as long as I dont try to cram three bikes along side the fat tire one?

Hey Lance the Thule Apex Swing XT bike rack part # TH9027XT can definitely be used with fat bikes and a couple kids bikes. You would need to strategically load the bikes on the rack like you mentioned but it will definitely work and not be too difficult. If you leave a blank slot between the fat bike and the kids bikes it will for sure work well.
