The Thule 9025 Apex four-bike hitch mount carrier transports up to four bicycles securely at the rear of vehicles, while allowing access to rear door hatchbacks by leaning the carrier back when not loaded. The carrier is compatible only with 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. Additional features include: an integrated hitch pin, bike arms designed along an arc for easier loading and carrying performance, increased mast height, Thule Hold Fast cradles and No-Sway cages, the ability to fold arms down flat, bike and rack security from theft with included hitch and cable locks, and an integrated carrying handle.

The Thule 9025 Apex four-bike hitch mount carrier is designed for frequent cyclists and/or families that want the stability, and functionality of a hitch receiver carrier that can be left on vehicles when bikes are not loaded without interfering with hatchbacks. The carrier is compatible with 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers and has a four-bike carrying capacity managed by its two retractable bike support arms that curve along an arc. The naturally supportive arc design of the bike arms allows for easier bike loading and carrying performance. Thule Hold Fast cradles are installed on the arms. They feature a soft, rubberized cradle with a groove design that accommodates bike cables, cushions bikes and secures them during transport. To provide maximized bike stability, bike arms also feature patented Thule No-Sway cages. No-sway cages are rigid rubberized bike rack components that attach to the lower edge of the bike arm, hanging below the bike cradle (one for each bike). As the top tube of bike frames rest on the carrier arms, the No-Sway cages attach to the vertical tube section of bike frames with included straps. This holds bikes firmly in place without the need of a heavy wheel tray sometimes used on hitch mount carriers. Bikes can be locked to the carrier along the driver's side bike arm with a cable lock (included). The cable is retractable, pulling out of the carrier's mast section when needed, and automatically stowing there when not needed. The carrier itself can be locked to a vehicle hitch receiver using a hitch receiver lock (included).
