Thule Verse sets the new standard for safety, durability, and ease of use for hitch mounted platform bike carriers. Developed from our award-winning line of platform hitch racks that pioneered the no-frame contact design nearly two decades ago, this revolutionary bike carrier has been redesigned from the ground up. With a sleek aesthetic and premium styling, the Thule Verse has a greater range of bike fits, easier to use features, and even more capacity than its predecessor.
Frame-Free Bike Transport:One of the most significant advantages of the Thule Verse is its frame-free ratcheting arm system. This design securely holds your bikes by the wheels, preventing any contact with the bike frame. This is crucial for protecting delicate carbon fiber frames, bikes with unique frame shapes, or bikes with sensitive paint jobs. Your bike is safe and scratch free!
Adjustable Cradles for Various Bike Types:The Verse's adjustable cradles accommodate a wide range of bike sizes and styles, including road bikes, mountain bikes (MTN bike), ebikes, and even some fat bikes (with optional, separately sold, adapters). This bike rack can handle almost anything! The weight limit per bike is an impressive 60 lbs, perfectly capable of carrying heavier electric bikes (ebike rack).
Convenient Tilt Feature:Need to access your vehicle's rear cargo area? No problem! The Thule Verse features a convenient tilt-down function that allows you to open your trunk or hatch even with bikes loaded. This is a game-changer for quick access to gear, groceries, or anything else you might need.
Compact and Foldable:When not in use, the Thule Verse folds up compactly, minimizing storage space requirements. This is a huge benefit for those with limited garage or storage space. This makes is a foldable bike rack solution.
Integrated Security Features:Security is paramount. The Thule Verse includes integratedbike locks and a hitch lock to protect your investment. These locks secure both your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle's hitch. A locking hitch pin adds an extra layer of security, deterring theft.
Optional Accessories:Although the rack is complete in and of itself, there are optional accessories. One, for example, is a light kit with license plate that gets attached to the rack and helps keep your license plate and brake lights visible while carrying your bikes, ensuring you are seen on the road. Another accessory is Thule Folding Loading Ramp where it can help with loading heavier bikes (ebikes).
