Enjoy secure bike transport and unmatched rear vehicle access with the Thule Apex XT Swing 4-Bike Hitch Rack. Featuring a patented swing-away design, anti-sway bike cradles, and premium hanging rack construction, this hitch-mounted carrier safely transports up to four bikes while allowing full access to your vehicle's cargo area—even when fully loaded. Perfect for family road trips, mountain biking adventures, camping weekends, and outdoor getaways.
Why You'll Need It
Most hitch bike racks require unloading bikes to access your vehicle.
The Thule Apex XT Swing solves that problem with its patented swing-away design, allowing the entire rack to pivot away from the rear of your vehicle while bikes remain securely attached. Whether you need access to camping gear, coolers, luggage, or recovery equipment, you'll appreciate the convenience every time you hit the road.
It's the ideal solution for cyclists, families, campers, and overlanders who need both bike transport and easy cargo access.

Why You'll Need It
The Apex XT Swing is designed for adventurers who carry both bikes and gear.

The anti-sway cradle system helps minimize bike-to-bike contact during transport, reducing scratches and movement on rough roads.
Whether you're heading to mountain trails, campgrounds, bike parks, or national parks, the Apex XT Swing keeps your bikes secure while making travel more convenient.
Built For Adventure
Constructed with Thule's premium engineering standards, the Apex XT Swing delivers dependable performance for years of outdoor adventures.
The hanging-style design accommodates a wide variety of bike sizes and frame styles, making it a versatile option for families and groups with multiple bicycle types. When not in use, the bike arms fold down to reduce storage space and improve vehicle clearance.
For active travelers who frequently access cargo areas while on the road, the swing-away feature is a true game-changer.
