    Thule's new 9027 Apex 4 Bike Swing Away hitch mounted bicycle racks combine sleek new styling with a built in swing away arm that allows easy access to your vehicle's rear cargo area.

To use this feature, simply loosen the large tightening knob, pull the spring-loaded retention pin and swing away. The Thule Apex Swing Away Bike Rack is compatible with 2" receivers only.

          Thule's Vertex hitch mounted bike rack s are a new product line that's anything but "standard". They replace the Thule RoadWay series, sharing many features with their high-end Apex product line while sporting much lower prices. The 2 bike and 4 bike hitch racks are compatible with both 1 1/4" and 2" receiver hitches by simply using the included adapter sleeve converter. (The 5 bike model is compatible with 2" receivers only.) The redesigned Hold Fast anti-sway cradles include reinforc...

        Thule's new Apex 4 and 5 bike hitch mounted bicycle racks combine sleek new styling with innovative new features that make transporting your bikes easier and safer than ever before. Unlike most other bike racks, the Apex comes fully assembled, so setup is quick and easy. The new EasyMount System with integrated Snug-Tite Stinger makes installation tool-free. To install the rack, simply push the bike rack into your receiver hitch until the integrated auto-hitch-pin snaps into place or engages with your hitch, then turn the tightening knob to activate the anti-rattle mechanism. This helps eliminate vertical and horizontal movement of the rack by delivering 4 walls of fastening contact within your receiver for the most stable fit possible. The Thule 9025 Apex 4 Bike Rack is compatible with both 1.25" and 2" receivers, while the Thule 9026 Apex 5 Bike Rack is compatible with 2" receivers only.     The innovation didn't stop at insta...

    What's the size of a large box of doughnuts, sets up in seconds, and safely carries your bike? No, it's not a riddle, it's the new Allen MT-1 Trunk Mounted 1 Bicycle Rack .  Installing the MT-1 on your vehicle couldn't be easier-just unfold the three support arms and snap them in place, rest the self-leveling rubber coated support pads on your trunk or hatch, put the three mounting clips in place, and tighten the straps. When you're ready to ride, pop your bike off the rack, take the rack off your vehicle, fold it up and stow the MT-1 in your backpack or duffel. (It even comes with its own small carry bag.) The one bike model is available now, and the Allen MT-2 Trunk Mounted 2 Bike Rack will be out later this spring.     While you're waiting for the last of the snow to melt, check out this video of the head of Allen Sports USA touring the factory where the Allen MT-1 is manufactured.

    The new Thule 9010 Archway 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bicycle Rack makes your basic bike rack just a little less basic. Its sleek new design utilizes a quick-set fitting mechanism to set the carrier to the proper angle for your vehicle, and its curved frame accommodates many vehicles with spoilers. The tried-and-true six strap mounting system attaches quickly and securely to just about any vehicle. The Archway features Thule's new Cinch-Lever bike arm adjustment system not only lets you fold the arms down when not carrying bikes, it also allows each arm to be adjusted up or down independently. Together with Thule's Stay-Put cradles, this makes the Archway capable of accepting bike frames of nearly any design (though NOT carbon fiber frame bicycles-those should always be carried by the tires or forks, otherwise you risk cracking the frame of the bike).     Thule hasn't forgotten about bike security, either. The Archway's integrated lock cable secures your...

    Thule's new 9002 RaceWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bicycle Rack just arrived in our warehouse this morning, but we're going to need more of them. LOTS more. Because everyone with bikes but no trailer hitch is going to want one. Thule spent about 2 years perfecting the RaceWay's design, and it shows. The RaceWay's integrated Fit Number system allows you to set the carrier's angle to match the back of your vehicle even faster than on previous models. Thule's new Sure-Tight cable system locks the RaceWay to your vehicle with a couple quick turns of a knob. This new ultra-stable system needs only 4 rubber coated hooks to hold the rack securely in place, and the locking adjustment knobs keep thieves from loosening the cut-resistant cables and walking away with your bike rack . Thule has also included an integrated cable lock to secure the outermost bike (which makes it nearly impossible to swipe your other bikes, too). You can check out the full RaceWay installatio...

    Kuat racks . Their company name may seem funny, but when it comes to building a better bike rack they're all business. Kuat's new line of premium aluminum frame bike racks are lightweight but rock-solid.     The Kuat Alpha 3 Bike Hitch Rack rugged frame is constructed from 6061 T6 aluminum and only weighs about 13 pounds (roughly half the weight of a traditional hitch mounted bike rack ). It carries three bikes, with a maximum weight load of 100 pounds. The racks comes fully assembled, but folded flat (just the right size to fit in your trunk or behind the seat in your pickup truck). To set up the Alpha, pull the linchpin holds the tongue assembly in position and swing the tongue around. Next, reinsert the linchpin and slide the tongue into your receiver. After inserting the included locking hitch pin, tighten the large adjustment knob near the bottom of the rack and the small knob on the back just above the base.  These knobs tighten the rack ...

    Thule's new Helium Lightweight Aluminum Hitch Mounted Bicycle Racks are the most impressive new products that Thule has rolled out this year. They sport an incredibly sleek look, with an eye catching all-aluminum design. With such a slim profile you might think the Helium is a lightweight rack, and it does weigh about 1/3 less than a standard steel-frame bicycle rack . But don't let its good looks fool you. The Helium is every bit as tough as a steel-frame rack, and its aluminum frame can't rust!     As I'm sure you already know, looks aren't everything. The Helium wouldn't be much of a hitch rack if all it did was look good. With fully integrated locking security, Thule's premium T3 bike cradles, and the best anti-rattle hitch mechanism in its class, the Helium offers much more than just bike rack bragging rights. Thule's T3 cradles with included No-Sway Cages hold your bikes gently but firmly in place and help eliminate sway even on rough road...

    If you're in the market for a quality bike tray that won't cost a fortune, look no further than Thule's new Prologue tray. The Thule 516 Prologue Fork Mounted Bicycle Carrier is a great entry-level bike tray with features that are anything but basic. The Prologue's head is a slim, aerodynamic design constructed of a high-strength nylon composite, and a beefy stainless steel skewer gives the Prologue a rock solid grip on your bike. The skewer's oversized lever makes loading and unloading quick and easy, and the skewer locks your bike to the tray, and your tray to your roof rack with the addition of one Thule lock core (sold separately.) It is also compatible with most 9mm disc brakes. The aluminum tray is a single-wall style that accommodates tires up to 2.6" wide, and wheelbases up to 48". The Prologue is compatible with Thule square bars and Yakima round bars, and can be mounted to Thule's Aero Bars with Xadapt9 Adapter Kit .     With the Thu...

    If you're looking for the hands down highest quality strap mounted bicycle carrier, then you're looking for the QuickBack from Yakima. It's great for carrying bikes on vehicles without roof racks or receiver hitches, and it's available in both 2 and 3 bike models. Both the QuickBack 2 and the QuickBack 3 install quickly and easily on virtually any trunk or hatchback, with integrated adjustment knobs that set the angle of the bike arms and the main frame, and a labeled strap system that takes all the guesswork out of mounting your rack. Its premium Tr-Padded feet and padded buckles protect your vehicle's finish, and it can be safely mounted on most glass hatches with the included Glass Hatch Hooks. The QuickBack features a new, narrower arm design which accommodates more frame styles than other trunk or hatch mounted bike racks. If your bike lacks a top tube, though, you'll need to pick up a Yakima Tube Top bike frame adapter so that the QuickBack has som...

    The Rocky Mounts Lariat Fork Mount Bike Tray is an excellent balance of functionality and price. While significantly less expensive than bike trays from Thule and Yakima, the Lariat fits on their roof racks like a glove. The head is a rugged, low profile cast metal unit and features a long throw, stainless steel quick release skewer. The head is attached to the front crossbar using tamper-resistant bolts. For additional anti-theft security, you can add a Rocky Mounts Lock Core to the skewer.     The Lariat is available in two sizes. The Lariat SL has a 43" long aluminum tray and is designed to hold road bikes and mountain bikes with tires up to 2.3" wide. The larger Lariat SLX has a 45" long aluminum tray designed to hold mountain bikes with tires up to 3" wide.  The Lariat SL is compatible with some disc brakes, the SLX is not. So if you need the wide tray, or your disc brakes refuse to "play nice" with the slimmer SL tray, grab the Rocky Mo...

    If you're looking for a basic fork mount bicycle carrier at a great price, the Yakima 2065 Boa Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks is  the rack for you. Just like a real boa constrictor , once the Yakima Boa's quick release skewer gets a grip on your bike, it's not going anywhere. It uses the same rugged plastic head unit as the Copperhead, with a universal skewer that can be locked with one SKS Lock Core (not included.) Instead of a long tray like that on most fork mounts, the Boa  has a short plastic rear tray that will allow the rear wheel to be attached to the rear crossbar on your roof rack. You do have to be careful though, because in order for this bike rack to work properly, the distance between your bike's front fork rear wheel must be within a few inches of the distance between the bars on your roof rack. The Boa can be safely mounted on racks whose crossbars are between 32" and 50" apart, so if your roof rack has a shorter or longer span the ...

    The Thule 558p Tandem Bike Carrier for Roof Racks offers a safe way to carry your tandem or recumbent bike around town or across the country. This bike mount features a swiveling head that allows you to attach the fork to the skewer without having to lift the whole bike on top of your rack. Once the fork is in place, just lift the rear wheel up onto the tray and strap it down. The Thule Tandem bicycle tray mounts directly to Yakima round bars or Thule square bars, but is not compatible with Thule aero bars, the Xsporter, or factory racks. Also, a minimum of 22” between the front and back bars is required to mount the Tandem to your roof rack . The only tool required for installation is a 1/2" wrench (not included.) for added security, the use of Thule's 538 Cable Lock with the Tandem carrier is highly recommended, as the Tandem carrier does not have any built-in locking functionality. Though the lack of a locking feature is an inconvenience, the 558p Tandem B...

    The Yakima 2085 Raptor Upright Bicycle Carrier and the Yakima 2093 Raptor Aero Upright Bicycle Carrier are bicycle trays that have stood the test of time. While the Raptor has undergone a few small improvements over time, the same basic design has been in use for many years, and it's a great choice for anyone who wants a dependable, no-frills upright bike carrier. Its long tray holds almost any length bicycle (except tandems and recumbents), and the down tube clamping arm accepts most common frame types. This clamping system may not work on some odd shaped frames, and is not recommended for use with carbon fiber frames (you wouldn't want the clamp to deform your carbon fiber frame).     Loading a bike onto the Raptor is easy. Just loosen the big red knob on the clamp a few turns, line the bike up in the tray, tighten the clamp back up, and strap the wheels down. The standard Raptor fits round and square bars, and can be adapted to many factory rac...

   Thule’s 598 Criterium Upright Bicycle - Bike Carrier for Roof Racks is a nice step up from the Big Mouth. The clamping arm features a turn dial tightening knob that allows for down tubes up to 3 3/8” in diameter. This upright roof rack mounted bike rack will work with nearly any bicycle, regardless of frame style. Two lock cylinders are recommended for complete locking security on this model. One lock cylinder secures the bike to the carrier, and the other will secure the carrier to your roof rack. This rack requires only a small amount of assembly. Just follow the Criterium installation instructions and make sure to put the correct length t-bolt in their corresponding places. No tools are needed installation. The Criterium will work on round, square, and Thule aero bars. For mounting on aero bars, a Thule's Xadapt8 adapter hardware package is needed. The Criterium can also be adapted to fit on most factory installed roof racks with the Thule 532 Ri...

    The 518 Echelon Roof Rack Mounted Bike Carrier is Thule's premium fork mount bike tray. This model features a reinforced double wall wheel tray and all steel head unit for unparalleled strength and stability. Utilizing Thule's new Equalized Twin Cam clamping system, the Echelon holds your bicycle's fork with an iron grip. The center mounted skewer adjustment dial allows you to adjust the skewer tension with one hand. Adding a Thule lock core (not included) to the Echelon gives you complete security, as the steel head unit closes over the adjustment dial and mounting hardware.     Not only is the Echelon built to last, its streamlined design and aluminum tray look great. Installation is simple, even if you're not mechanically inclined. Just grab the included allen wrench and the instructions and you'll be done in no time. The Echelon mounts directly to square or round bars, and with the addition of Thule's Xadapt 9 adapter kit, the echelon can als...

    The Thule 517 Peloton Roof Rack Mounted Bike Carrier is one of the more popular bike racks sold by Thule. This bike tray features a hard plastic head unit with one finger skewer adjustment, and it's compatible with disc brakes and suspension forks. The rear wheel tray is a super stiff double wall design for maximum strength and stability, and the sleek black finish looks great on any vehicle. Security for the Peloton is is accomplished with one Thule lock core, which is within easy reach from either side of the tray. When locked, the fork of the bike is locked to the skewer and it prevents anyone from taking the Peloton off the bar rack as well. ( Lock cylinders do have to be purchased separately however.) A hex-key wrench is provided and is the only tool needed for installation. The Peloton will work on round, square, and Thule aero bars. For the aero bars, a Thule Xadapt kit is needed. Before you install this bad boy, decide whether the rear wheel strap needs t...
