Description
The Premium Hitch Rack That Streamlines Bike Transport
The Thule Verse sets the new standard for safety, durability, and ease of use for hitch mounted platform bike carriers. Developed from their 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.
The Verse provides superior protection and security for your bikes. The independent single attachment arm secures your bike by clamping down on the front wheel, eliminating frame contact and securing the bike to the rack quickly. With ample spacing between bike positions, on-the-fly wheel tray adjustments, and a new soft-touch attach arm with increased fork clearance, bikes are loaded easily with the peace of mind that they'll be safe on your journey. And with the included theft-deterrent locking cable, security is offered when you're away from your vehicle.

- Easy Bike Adjustment – Patented side-stack wheel holders provide 6" of tool-free, side-to-side adjustment between bike positions to reduce contact during transport.
- Tool-Free Installation – Lockable AutoAttach system enables quick and secure mounting/removal of the rack with the AcuTight lever.
- Generous Bike Spacing – Over 11" of bike spacing for up to four bikes prevents bike-to-bike contact and simplifies loading and unloading.
