The Apex 5-bike rack from Thule lets you easily transport your family's or friends' bikes to your favorite trails. This premium bike rack has a taller mast and an arched design to provide greater clearance and keep bikes separated. Hold Fast RDT (Road Dampening Technology) Cradles™ absorb the shock of the road and protect your bikes, while No-Sway™ cages prevent bike-to-bike contact. The Snug-Tite Stinger™ fits into a 2" hitch receiver, prevents hitch wobble, and locks to the vehicle. This 5-bike rack also features arms that can fold down when not in use and a tilt function that allows access to the rear of the vehicle. An integrated handle makes carrying the rack easy and a built-in cable lock that is housed in the rack can secure your bikes. The Thule Apex 5 bike rack includes a limited lifetime warranty.
