Description

Back in the 9th grade, a geometric vertex sent you backpedaling. Today, the Thule Vertex Hitch Bike Rack gets you pedaling in the right direction faster.

This Thule hitch bike rack features an innovative arc design for additional ground clearance and improved bike transport. Your bikes rest in cushioned Hold Fast Cradles™ that keep ‘em protected from movement during travels. And, built-in anti-sway cages help prevent potential bike-on-bike or bike-on-vehicle damage.

The Vertex bike rack folds down and tilts for full access to the rear end of your ride. Plus, it’s equipped with an easy-to-carry handle when you need to remove the hitch rack from your vehicle. What’s more, this rack is available in various models to accommodate up to five bikes. And, each Thule Vertex Hitch Bike Rack is built in the USA and backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

Thule Vertex 5

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Reviewed by Jared K (Bend, OR) Reviewed for a 2007 Dodge Nitro — Jun 04, 2013 3:31 PM

Good stable bike rack at an affordable price. The rack does not stick out too far from the back of my rig, and the pivot drop is great for getting into the back. Smaller triangle frames are a tight fit, and you will likely pinch a finger or two if they go further back. I have fit three adult MTB quite comfortably every other rung, but 5 ... would be pretty mashed in - if they fit at all (Road bikes no problem). Not for DH bikes.

The Thule Vertex Bike Rack works exceptionally well. It's very sturdy. It holds the bikes without them sliding around. The ability to fold down the rack to get into the back of my vehicle is a real advantage over other bike racks.

Easy installation. This bike rack is very sturdy and quality is awesome. Looks like I will be using this for a very long time. Fold down feature is a plus when I need to open the rear door. Great product and fit.

I was very disappointed to learn after I mounted the new bike rack that it is intended for 2 Men's bikes, therefore, for my woman's bike, I had to order a seperate item as an adaptor.

The Rack works well, is very sturdy, easy to mount, etc. Getting 5 bikes on here is pretty tight though. The handlebars of one bike poke into the tires of the bikes next to it,etc. I've put 4 on it, and it a tight squeeze, not sure if I'll be able to cram 5. The mounting brackets slide along the rails, which is good, so you can try to leave space between bikes where necessary, but you have to be a bit creative when putting a bunch of bikes on here.

It is a good rack, except for the rubber bike holders and straps. After only a week one strap and one rubber bike holder broke. Very dis-concerning if you have an expensive bike that might fly off. had Yakama straps and bike holders for 8 years out in sun every day and nothing like this ever happened. Going to order Yakama straps, etc and see if I can retrofit to this rack.

Wrong picture 3

I believe the third photo from the left that illustrates tilt feature may be for a Thule Apex and not a Vertex.

Will this rack work for a ladies style bicycle frame?

Hello. This rack is designed to hold bicycles with a standard top-tube frame, so you may have some difficulty with the ladies frame. However, there are some frame adapters that adapt full-suspension, girls' and BMX bike frames to work with the rack. Check ‘em out here:

Can this unit clear the distance between the vehicle and a U-Hau

I have a family of 6, and need a 5x8 U-Haul to bring any gear with camping. I am wondering if this were loaded up with 5 bikes (or just extended between a car and trailer) if there may not be enough clearance or if there is, they might bump into each other while driving? Thanks!

Most qualified shops can install a hich from 45 minutes to a few hours depending on the vehicle for a reasonable price. I would start by calling shops in your area for wait times and price quotes as they are quite competitve and will often try to be the lowest price to get your business.
