Functional
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some of the assembly instruction steps could use a little more information - especially the one about how to set up the locks. The fold mechanism for the frame was a little hard to open & close at first, but after a few times it became easier to use. It took 8 mins for the first time I loaded 2 bikes onto the frame. The wheel straps are a little difficult to use but hold securely. The location of the key lock is behind the bike gears and not very easy to access. Once we were on the road - the frame seemed wobbly from left to right while driving. Overall, it does securely transport 2 bicycles & it is lockable. A few design changes would make it much more user friendly.
Thank you for reaching out! I'm glad to hear you are satisfied with the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT 2. In looking at the photos provided, I noticed that both bikes are facing the same direction. The bike rack is designed to work best with each bike facing a different direction. This balances the load of the rack and makes accessing the locking points and wheel straps easier. This could account for the wobbling you experienced while in motion. I hope this helps! Enjoy your next biking adventure!
Too much plastic
There is too much plastic on the rack which is very brittle. Both of the screw holes broke when I put the cover on.
I'm glad we were able to connect via email and handle this issue under Thule's limited lifetime warranty. For any other material or manufacturing issues with Thule racks, please visit the online Thule warranty page: https://www.thule.com/en-us/about-thule/warranty
Amazing and easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a versatile rack that could carry different kinds and sizes of bikes. The doubletrack pro xt 2 is amazing. The adjustable wheel rests are easy to adjust and the vertical stabilizer is a breeze to adjust. The rack came with a webbed strap to add extra peace of mind, but I don't think it's necessary. You can lock the bikes to the rack with built in locks so theft isn't really an issue. The whole thing folds flat and can hinge up when not in use. I look forward to years of reliable use.
Does Not Work With “Virtually All” Bikes
We live in Florida and have 2 adult, 7 speed, 26 inch very popular bikes - Electra Townie (not electric) one male and one female. Neither bike fit this rack. The rack requires the frame to have a horizontal bar for it to snuggly keep it in place and lock it. The female frame in particular was completely impossible as the frame was too low at the point where it had to connect to the rack. The male bike frame was not horizontal enough - it had a slope which caused it to not work. Bottom line, be very careful. When we asked REI to waive the $21.95 extra shipping return fee (overweight) because I felt the REI web site misleadingly stated the rack “Fits Virtually All Bikes”, REI refused. I am very disappointed as a long time member. When I suggested REI at least update their website to better reflect the limitations of this rack, the customer service rep basically said REI takes the Thule description and uses it. I thought REI was adding value to their customer base ? Anyway, as a result, we’ll be looking elsewhere for our replacement bike rack.
Installation went smoothly until...
I called my local REI store to get pricing for assembly and installation for this bike rack. The gentleman on the phone assured me that even a novice could install the rack without much hassle. He was absolutely right! I got through all steps of the installation very easily until I was at the very last step, adjusting the wheel holders to the correct position and tightening & clamping them into place. I had finished with the first 3 of 4 wheel holders with no issues, as I was clamping down the fourth and final wheel holder I heard a slight creaking, I quickly stopped putting pressure on the clamp and loosened it ~1/2 turn and tried clamping the wheel holder again. My heart sunk when I heard the snapping of plastic. Back to my $30 Allen bike rack with straps...
I like it
Bought this a couple months ago, one of the parts (the lock for the hitch) was not machined properly, so I had to call Thule to sort it out. After a short phone call, a week or so wait, I got the part and was able to use it on a regular basis. Good customer service. This works well, some parts seems cheap due to the plasticy nature, but it is holding up well. I put this on a Ford Ranger, which is what they recommended, but when I open the tailgate it hits the rack, even when I have the rack at the lowest setting where it should be out of the way. I also like that Thule gave me time to use the carrier before asking me to review. So many companies ask for a review the day you receive it.
