Thule 903453 Verse Platform Hitch Bike Rack - 2-Bike for 1.25 Receivers

The Thule Verse sets the new standard for safety, durability, and ease of use for hitch mounted platform bike carriers. Developed from the 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. Designed for 1.25-inch hitch receivers, this 2-bike rack combines premium styling with innovative features that make loading, transporting, and protecting your bikes easier than ever.

No Frame Contact Design

Industry-leading telescopic arms offer easy, no frame contact, loading and unloading. 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. This makes the Verse ideal for carbon fiber frames and all high-end bicycles where frame protection is critical.

Key Features:

• Max number of bikes: 2; Load capacity: 110 lb; Max bike weight: 55 lb
• Accommodates wheelbases up to 53" and larger tire sizes up to 5" - accepts Thule Foldable Loading Ramp to assist with heavier e-bikes
• Wheel size range: 20-29"; Distance between bikes: 11.4 in
• Patented outboard release handle provides easy hand-activated tilting for rear cargo access with or without bikes
• Quickly tilts up to stow vertically when not in use, reducing the rear footprint
• Patented side-stack wheel holders offer on-demand and tool-free adjustment, allowing 6" of side-to-side adjustment between bike positions to minimize contact during transport
• Tool-free and lockable AutoAttach system, with lockable AcuTight lever (lock included), allows for quick and secure mounting and removal of the rack
• Constructed with an aluminum wheel tray and center I-beam for maximum strength while maintaining a manageable weight

Security Features

Robust 12mm steel braided bike lock provides a security deterrent and lets you lock your bikes to the bike carrier and your carrier to the car (locks included). The fully rubberized coated sleeve protects bikes from cable contact during use. Compatible with Thule One Key System for convenience across multiple Thule products.

Premium Construction

The ratcheting pump buckle strap with protective wheel guard ensures bikes remain secure during transport. Integrated retention clips keep straps out of the way during loading and unloading.
