Description

Assemble your crew and hit the trail with the Thule Ridgeline 4-Bike Hitch Rack. Like the name suggests, this hardy rack holds up to 4 bikes in its super-strong arms. And, unlike other hitch racks that get in the way, the Ridgeline features dual quick-release levers for fast access to your trunk or hatch.

When it comes to bike racks, Thule’s on their game. That’s why they’ve equipped the Ridgeline 4-Bike Hitch Rack with a convenient Stinger Swinger hitch that quickly converts from 2” to 1 1/4” right out of the box. What’s more, the Ridgeline’s “No Sway” cage keeps your bikes from slamming into each other while you’re heading down the road.

Plus, you can trust the Thule Ridgeline 4-Bike Hitch Rack to keep your bikes secure. Its T3 Cradles lock down bikes while still allowing complete adjustment along the bike arm. And, an integrated locking cable and STL2 hitch lock make sure your gear stays put. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

Notes

  • Some bikes may require the 982 Thule Frame Adapter to work with the Ridgeline.

Was easy to install on the hitch. Easy to load the bikes. Not sure you can really fit 4 bikes on it. Held the bikes very securely, traveled on Thruway and no problem. Very pleased with the rack and autoanything.

Bought this rack to handle our 4 bikes, 2 adult 26" mountain bikes and two kids 24" mountain bikes. The rack can handle them but was unable to utilize the anti-sway attachments as hoped. Turns out with 4 bikes in place bikes couldn't sway anyhow. Took a couple of a attempts to see how to load the bikes but soon mastered it. Would recommend it to anyone. DEH

The Thule arrived quickly as promised. Is was simple to assemble and install. It worked well for us. The only challenge we had as "beginners" is actually getting the mountain bikes to "nest." It wasn't difficult, it just took a few tries. As with other Thule products we are extremely satisfied.

I searched online for the best price, and Auto Anything always has the best deal. The Thule Ridgeline 4-Bike Hitch Rack is awesome. Easy to use, store and is very strong.

It is easy to assemble, attach to hitch, and mount bikes. I think I will get some good use out of this product. I also like the feature which allows me to lock the rack to the hitch and also to secure the bikes on the rack so they cannot be stolen.

The rack arrived promptly and Autoanything had the best price I could find either on the internet or locally. Autoanything's price was $298.96 which was $60 less than local bike store prices and shipping was free! The rack is definitely well made and will last a long time. The lock for the trailer hitch and integrated lock for the bikes are a great feature! The rack itself took about 5 mintues out of the box to assemble - very easy! Another nice feature is that the rack will fold down to allow access to the back. However, unlike some racks, this one will not fold down with the bikes on it; this is the only draw back but not that big a deal.
