Perfect bike rack

Super easy install and very secure fit to vehicle. My bikes are safely and securely on the rack with zero rocking motion. Could not be more happy about the rack.
I found the Thule T2 Pro XTR to be a phenomenal rack with superior support. I have an eBike and the weight of the bike is quite heavy. This rack handled the weight as well as a three hour trip on the highway. I'm super impressed with the security features that are well thought out here. I did not see an equivalent feature set when comparing to other vendors.
I recently purchased the Y2 xtr and really enjoy it. I have xl sized bikes and it fits my 4.9” Kona Wo and my full suspension equally. Nice improvements over my Kuat- ratchet strap for rear tire, solid front tire holder, and wheels on the thing to make it less of a chore to remove and reinstall. My back up camera senses the rack and stops abruptly with the rack so I remove it often. I think the lock on the hitch is a great improvement. Seems like it will hood up better in weather too.
Friends had this rack, and I decided this was just about the best around, so I bought one. It is very easy to install and use. The bikes are very secure on it even when you hit bumps! Also it’s low enough that it’s easy to put my FS MTB on. Also very adjustable, and folds up easily. Best rack around!!!
One of the most stout bike racks for 2 bikes I've experienced, one boke of which is an electric folding bike of about 57 pounds. Will cover and remove its battery. Other bike MTB of about 25 pounds. Mounts to 2 inch receiver on Ford Range pickup. Took my time doing the basic assembly which was not too difficult. Mounted as instructed, then one by one starting with electric bike fit each bike to rack. Found as set up that the two different bikes fit perfectly not interfering with other. Did have to remove the front fender on electric bike so compression mount arm would fit properly the front 20" tire. The fold down position with bikes loaded worked perfectly allowing tail gate to open fully. Will add some safety straps to insure bikes stay positioned. Rack is heavy but has wheels to move it around if there is lateral space, due to racks width. Best rack I've had over the years.
I have been using the rack for a month so far. It is the most stable rack I have ever used. It's easy to attach bikes of different sizes. The only negative is that it is pretty heavy. If you are able to use the wheels it isn't a problem at all.
The Thule T2 Pro XTR is an excellent bike rack that is easy to use and every detail has been well thought out. It is super easy to take on and off. The "hook" and knob tightening is simple and make it easy, and the wheels are no gimmick, they really help in moving and storing the rack. Loading and unloading bikes is also easy, with the arms adjusting smoothly, and the bike(s) fit well in the trays. And it looks nice and clean. The only weakness, as others have mentioned, are the directions. But watch the videos instead. They were more helpful than the paper instructions. I'm very happy with this rack so far.
