Thule APEX 4 Bike Rack Review and Demo

  • Опубліковано 27 бер 2019
  • The Thule APEX 4 is easy to load and unload. The Hold Fast RDT (Road Dampening Technology) Cradles™ absorb shock to protect the bikes during transport. Bike-to-bike contact is prevented by the patented No-Sway Cages™. The integrated lock secures the bikes to the rack for maximum security and can be stored in the rack when bikes are not loaded. This rack’s arched arm design makes for greater ground clearance and a greater distance between the bikes. The rack can also be tilted down to ensure the rear of the vehicle is still accessible.
    -Carries 1 to 4 bikes up to 35 lbs. each (140 lbs. total carrying capacity)
    -Compatible with all vehicles equipped with a 1-1/4” or 2” receiver hitch
    -Includes receiver lock

    I want to see you mount and tie down four same sized bikes onto the rack. Only then can I determine if this rack works for me.

    Great video, couple of questions it didn’t answer for me though...Am I to assume U-haul rents these or are they only for sale? Also, how doe that locking strap prevent theft? Looks like you only put it on top of the bike...pretty sure the bike could still be removed. Are you supposed to loop it through each bike? If you you do, will it still be able to reach the locking mechanism with the key?

    Nice demo but I would like to know how it is with 2 adults bikes and 2 kids bikes (1 x 20" girls & 1 x 16" boys)? Apparently some of this type don't fit the kids bikes well even with an adaptor.

      I'm sure you "could", but I don't think that would be the best option. If you're struggling to accommodate the rear shock, I'd use a bike frame adapter.

      Of course simple triangle frame. How about different frames. I am completely disappointed in this rack. Other frames are a chore to fight over the grips. Not recommending this rack for any other than simple triangle frames
