Thule xpress pro bike rack
It does what it’s suppose to. Hold your bike on the back of the car. It’s solid in construction. I have a road / time trial compact frame and it does not quite fit level across the two holding rubbers however I use the upright seat stem and rear angle frame and it clips perfectly in place. It’s solid more than happy with this hanging off the back on the car. Don’t forget if the obscures either the lights or reg plate then you will need a light board and rear plate. Available at Halfords. Happy. Read full review...

The good and the bad
First the good - The design of this carrier is fantastic with the way it clamps to the tow ball - it seems very secure.
Now the bad - having fitted the carrier I expected adding the bikes to it would be a piece of cake. How wrong was I!! I had two mountain bikes to rake on holiday a two bike carrier seemed to fit the bill. However the design of the carrier did not allow our mountain bikes to fit to the mounting bars. Ladies bikes with a diagonal bar would also not fit.
Also when a hybrid bike that did fit the carrier was added, to stop the handle bars hitting the rear windscreen (LR Discovery 4) the carrier had to be adjusted and only a single bike could then be carried.
Had this information been provided before purchase a different decision would have been taken - possibly purchasing the 4 bike version to accommodate the Disco shape. Also some fittings to support different bike shapes would be great.
Hope this help other looking to do the same as me but would prefer greater success! I an having to take my son's bike on holiday and my wife her trainers!Read full review...

Easy to use
We wanted a carrier to use when we're away with our caravan rather than having to keep lifting on off roof carriers. We have found it very simple to fit and sturdy when attached to the ball.
The bikes sit well and dont move when driving. The bikes are easily easy to lift on and off.
We have changed the pedals to folding ones on our 2 adult road bikes which makes siting them easier.
The first few times using it with our Sorento we forgot to close the boot before fitting the carrier. Read full review...

An excellent bit of kit that fits snuggly and securely to the tow bar.
An excellent bit of kit that fits snuggly and securely to the tow bar. It is so easy & quick to fit & comfortably carries two bikes. This is a great & easy product to fit, remove & use. It's so good & simple in design I wish I had patented it.Read full review...

Very nice rack.
Easy on easy off. No need for a roof rack or paint rubbing straps. I now do much more mountain biking as I can load the bike so fast. A hole for a paddock enables you to secure it to the car. I have bought and additional strap for peace of mind when undertaking long motorway trips.Read full review...

Quality built easy to use
Solid well made 2 cycle rack which clamps firmly to a 50mm standard tow ball, easy to secure cycle. Price is a little higher than other racks, but this is much better quality from Thule.

So easy to use
What a great item ! So easy to use , set up and pack away. Clips straight onto tow ball and locks tight with no movement. Tightness can also be adjusted. Bikes held in place with strong adjustable rubber straps and an adjustable clip strap for extra hold. Quality comes as standard with Thule and this bike rack is no exception. Read full review...
