Verse 2-Bike - 2" Hitch Platform Bike Rack
The Thule Verse Hitch Bike Rack sets a new benchmark for platform-style bike carriers, combining premium design, unmatched versatility, and easy-to-use features for transporting bikes with confidence. Built around a no-frame contact system, its telescoping single-arm design secures bikes by the front wheel for fast loading and maximum frame protection. With tool-free AutoAttach installation, generous 11”+ spacing between bikes, and on-the-fly adjustable wheel trays, it accommodates a wide range of bikes—including long wheelbases up to 53” and tires up to 5”—with up to 60 lbs per tray. The rack tilts easily for rear vehicle access and folds vertically when not in use, while integrated locks and a durable aluminum construction provide long-lasting security and strength. Designed with a full lineup of compatible accessories and built for everything from daily rides to off-road adventures, the Verse delivers top-tier performance, convenience, and protection for every ride.

Key Features
Industry-leading telescopic arms offer easy, no frame contact, loading & unloading. The iconic single-hook attachment arm provides the best combination of speed & security without making contact with your frame.
Patented outboard release handle provides easy hand-activated tilting for rear cargo access with or without bikes. Quickly tilts up to stow vertically when not in use, reducing the rear footprint.
Thule Verse can accommodate wheelbases up to 53" and larger tire sizes up to 5" - Each bike tray can carry bikes up to 60lbs and accepts our Thule Foldable Loading Ramp to assist with those heavier e-bikes.
An ergonomic handle and bike-inspired lever allow for effortless installation and release of the ratcheting attachment arm when unloading. The quick-release attachment arm features superior fork clearance and a rubberized surface to protect against unwanted fork contact or wear during transport.
Patented side-stack wheel holders offer on-demand and tool-free adjustment, allowing 6" of side-to-side adjustment between bike positions to minimize contact during transport.
The tool-free and lockable AutoAttach system, with lockable AcuTight lever (lock included), allows for quick and secure mounting and removal of the rack.
With over 11" of bike spacing for up to four bikes, its unique design prevents bike contact during transport, making bike loading and unloading hassle-free.
The ratcheting pump buckle strap with a protective wheel guard ensures that bikes are always secure. Integrated retention clips secure the straps out of the way when loading and unloading.
Robust 12mm steel braided bike lock provides a security deterrent and lets you lock your bikes to the bike carrier and your carrier to the car (locks included). Fully rubberized coated sleeve protects bikes from cable contact when in use.
Aluminum wheel tray and center I-beam construction provide maximum strength with minimum weight, delivering time-tested durability and performance to handle the toughest conditions. All are backed by our Thule Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Wide range of innovative accessories available such as Thule lights & license plate kit, Thule Verse bike repair holder, Thule foldable loading ramp, & Thule transport wheels (sold separately).
Designed for use on gravel roads, forest service roads, and other off-road conditions (see safety instructions).
Suitable for RV travel with a 40% reduced load capacity. Always follow fitting instructions for safe use.
