Revert 4-Bike Hitch Rack

I might remove the damper

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

4 bike

This rack is super hard to pull down. I have to put my foot on the pivot point and hang from the top to get it down. It's so stiff I was wondering if I got the wrong damper. I'm considering removing the damper as I'd rather deal with the weight of four bikes. I have another brand vertical hanging rack for 6 bikes that has no damper, and I'm fine with the weight. Aside from that it performs as expected. Cheaper and a smaller footprint than a 4 bike platform rack.

Pretty much perfect

Absolutely great bike rack, super stable, easy to load, looks good. My only complaint would be how stiff the shock absorber is. Unloaded I have to pull with everything I’ve got just to get it to tilt down. Other than that it’s amazing!!

Fantastic bike rack

Recently purchased the Thule Revert to take our bikes to the beach. Love the design and ease of use. Highly recommended!

Perfect for 4 bikes!

Great for getting everyone's bikes to the trail. A bit much for just one bike, but it does a good job. Really hard to pull down unloaded, but that is balanced by it being really easy to raise when loaded.

Solid bike rack

Great bike rack, a little heavy, but the stabilizer eliminates most all sway during my uses to date! Would recommend for sure!

Back door does'nt open and adaptor problem

I bought this to have the incredible engineer of thule but with a vertical rack. Instead I have a rack that does'nt bend backwards enought for the back door to open on my dodge grand caravan. My friend has a honda odyssey and has the same problem. The special adaptors for 20 inches bike don't work either the rack simply does'nt work for my 20 inches bike with or without the adaptor. It rubs on the paint.

Great for Multiple Bikes

We have enjoyed the bike rack. It doesn’t protrude too far behind the car when not in use, and keeps the bikes high off the ground and inside the envelop of our car. There is plenty of space to open the trunk when the rack is pivoted away from the car. It is a bit difficult to lower the rack when empty, but so easy when between 2 and 4 bikes are loaded. Very quick and efficient to use and we love the integrated locking system.

Like the vertical design

We’ve used this twice now for our MTBs. Works really well. Like the lift assist. Wish the integrated lock was keyed the same as the hitch lock.

Great product overall

This bike rack is just as advertised. I tend to research things to death, bang for your buck it’s definitely the best around. Solid, sturdy, very easy to put together. Would recommend.
