A Heavy Duty platform bike rack ready for the biggest adventures.

The Thule T2 Pro XTR is a 2" receiver mount, 2-bike platform rack capable of carrying two 27kg bikes with tyres up to 29 x 5" on a wheelbase up to 1270mm. With loaded tilt-away function, integrated wheels to make moving the rack around easier and built-in locks, this is a rack that's not short on brains as well as brawn.

Who's this item for: Riders with a 2" receiver on their car and 2 bikes to carry, with tyres up to 29+ or FAT, wanting a rugged but feature-packed platform rack that support the bikes without contacting the frame.

How many bikes does it carry: In standard form, the T2 Pro XTR can carry 2 bikes, but the optional T2 Pro XT Add-on can take this to 4 bikes (sold separately).

How does it carry them: Platform racks support the loaded bikes by the tyres and the T2 Pro XTR doesn't really care what size tyre you have as the deep cups will handle up to 5" wide. Once the bikes are strapped down with the locking ratcheting wheel straps the solid support arm clamps down on the front wheel to keep the bike upright and prevent swaying.

How much weight can it carry: The Thule T2 Pro XTR is rated to carry 55kg safely

E-Bike rated: Yes. Each bike can weigh up to 27kg and the deep and wide wheel cups are perfectly suited to plus-sized E-Bike tyres.

How does it mount to the car: This rack uses a 2" square tongue designed to fit 2" square receiver towbars and a built-in, key-locked compression fitting locks the rack to the vehicle. Thule calls this AutoAttach.

Does it tilt or swing to gain access to the vehicle: The rack can be tilted away from the vehicle even when fully loaded. The same mechanism provides the ability for the platform to fold up toward the vehicle when not in use.

What size bikes (wheelbase) can it carry: The T2 can accommodate 20" to 29" bikes with a wheelbase up to 1270mm

What is the max tyre size: FAT tyres up to 29" x 5" wide are welcomed by the Thule T2 Pro XTR.

How much does it weigh / dimensions: At 23.5kg this is no lightweight, but the built-in wheels make it easy to manoeuvre around and get lined up with the car. 1400W x 1092D x 381H(folded)

Does it fold up for storage: Yes. The support arms fold down and the platform folds up towards the vehicle. The 2" tongue sticks out a little even when folded so it's not going to fit under the bed or in the wardrobe.

Does it include a lock: Yes, There are built-in locks to lock the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle.

Does it have an integrated licence plate holder / brake / reverse lights: Not included
