Why We Like The T1 Single Bike Hitch Rack
Plug Thule's trailer hitch mounted T1 Single Bike Hitch Rack into your receiver and enjoy the convenience of carrying your bike on the rear of the car. Never struggle to put a heavy bike on a high roofline and avoid the horrible bike to driveway/parking garage collision embarrassment. The rack secures your bike quickly, without frame contact, with a ratcheting arm eliminating the chance of damaging a carbon top tube with excessive pressure or scratches from bungees or straps. When not in use, the carrier easily folds up.
The rack comes sized for 2 and 1-1/4-inch trailer hitches, and you can secure the rack to the hitch receiver with the STL2 lock. Your bike is safe and secure to the rack with the integrated cable lock, so you can grab a post-ride burrito with the crew. The Transport T1 uses wheel-only locking so it easily handles mountain, downhill, fat bikes and ebikes with wheels ranging from 20 to 29-inches and up to 5-inch wide tires without adapters. Thule's Transport T1 is easily capable of handling bikes of up to 60lb.

Failed to hold my Mate X electric bike!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Almost lost my Mate X bike on the highway! The front tire holder is not deep enough and strong enough to hold a 60lbs fat tire bike!!! Front tire just kept slipping out of the sleeve. After about 15 miles I literally watched my bike flip backwards on the rack in the rear view mirror at 65mph on the highway. Thought that was it for the bike. Rear wheel strap and the locking cable on the rack prevented the bike from falling off the rack completely, but my fork got scratched pretty badly. Can't imagine what the driver behind me must have felt at that moment. Had to stop and readjust the bike 5 times after that during a 100 mile trip and felt like the bike can fall backwards at anytime! If you getting this rack to transport heavy electric fat tire bikes - stay away!

It was a really straight forward process. Really easy to assemble. My little brother and I did it pretty quick! Built quality is awesome and such an awesome bike rack overall. No regrets! Comes with all assembly and the locks that come with it is a plus!

T1 Hitch Rack
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Product preforms as advertised. Solid rack.. ..but... Assembly directions are poor, but found advise on line. (should have Ikea help with that) The bolt that hods the rack to the hitch is very difficult to access and needs to be constantly tightened. (Socket is the best option) Getting rack on/off hitch is not a simple process, because of this bolt. Few options out there for a 1 bike carrier. It is what it is.
