Thule 916XT T2 review by 'Dennis'. He is using it as a 2008 Lexus RX400h hitch bike rack.
Overall Rating: 5 Stars (out of 5)
“Spent about a week reading reviews between the Thule 916XT T2 and the Yakima Holdup since they are the popular 2 that does not touch any painted part of the bike. I then decided to stay with Thule because of the convenience of the locking mechanism and the availability of smaller parts (like locks or accessories) at local retail shops. The 916XT T2 rack has a very solid feel and is very stable. The bikes can be mounted and locked with 10 seconds and have enough space between them so that no parts are touching each other. With the addition of the Thule Snug-Tite hitch lock, the bike rack does not sway side to side (although it bounce once in a while). The assembly is pretty simple and real easy as well. Lastly, I had to decide where to order the rack. ORS seems to have their act together and have good customer service so I went ahead and placed the order with them.”

Image of the Thule 916XT T2 platform hitch bike rack for 2 inch trailer hitches. Also available is the Thule 917XT T2 bike hitch rack for 1.25 inch hitches.
Great news from the good folks at Thule Racks. They’ve just taken the most popular platform style hitch mount bike rack on the planet and made it even better! Now available are the Thule 916XT T2 platform hitch rack (fits 2″ trailer hitches) and the Thule 917XT T2 platform bike rack (fits 1-1/4″ receiver hitches), which replace the discontinued Thule 916 T2 and Thule 917 T2 models. All the fabulous features of the previous models are still included on the brand new 916XT T2 and 917XT T2, except now they also ship with a 2 pack of Thule locks, to lock the bikes to the bike carrier, and the Thule STL2 Snug-Tite lock for locking the T2 to the trailer hitch. No more having to fork over extra dinero just to keep crummy thieves from stealing your bicycles or the T2 itself. The SecureHook has also been redesigned to fit even more bike styles and sizes, from small bmx bikes and kid bikes with 20″ wheels on up to road bikes with skinny tires, any mountain bikes and even 29 inch 29er bike wheels and super-fat 3 inch tires found on freeride-downhill mountain bikes. If you want the fastest, easist loading hitch mount platform bike rack in the solar system, and now with all lock included, check out the new T2 models. Also available is the Thule 918XT T2 2 bike add-on for carrying an additional two bicycles on the 916XT T2 model.
