This is a two bike add-on rack for the updated and upgraded 2" receiver Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack. It cannot be used as a stand-alone product. If you have invested in the 2-bike base T2 Pro and want to carry up to four bikes, this 2 Bike Add-on gets the job done.

The T2 Pro with the 2 Bike Add-On has a loaded weight limit of 160lbs. The two standard carriers on the base rack are capable of carrying up to 60lbs each, but you can carry four 40lb bikes with no issues. More likely your bikes don't all weigh the same, so load your heaviest bikes closer to the vehicle, lightest further away. As with the base rack bike carriers, the 2 additional trays systems feature adjustable spacing between the carriers, and the rear wheel tray can be adjusted for wheel base. The design works with wheel sizes from 20-29", and tires up to a 5" width. Bikes are mounted by the wheels, and ratcheting control arms lock down on the front wheel, while a durable ratcheting strap locks down the rear. Each arm contains an integrated locking cable with OneKey lock system so you can easily secure your bike.

Please keep in mind that every receiver hitch has a maximum rated tongue weight and you cannot exceed that amount with the combined weight of the rack and the bikes. The T2 Pro as a 2 bike carrier weighs 50lbs, and the 2 bike Add-On weighs 35lbs, for a combined weight of 85lbs unloaded. Check with your receiver installer or manufacturer for tongue weight rating, but most 2" receivers are minimally rated as Class II, which has a max tongue weight rating of 300lbs (towing capability of 3500lbs max). This means your 160lbs of bikes and 85lbs of rack should be no problem, but please verify before fully loading your new 4-bike set-up. This rack system should not be used with a 1 1/4" Class 1 receiver with a 2" sleeve adapter. Thule makes reliable, well engineered products and the system will carry your bikes easily, so please follow all instructions regarding use, and keep your bikes, and fellow travelers safe at all times. The base T2 Pro is a the perfect rack for any cyclist, but with the 2 Bike Add-on you can ride with more friends or the family without breaking a sweat loading and unloading the bikes, and have the confidence that all are safe secure during your travels.
