Product Description The Thule 954 Ridgeline 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack is a full-featured hitch rack that has all your bases covered. The Thule Ridgeline has a four bicycle carrying capacity, and provides you with the perfect combination of security and convenience.
The Thule Ridgeline utilizes Thule's Stinger Swinger hitch that converts quickly from a two-inch receiver to a 1.25-inch receiver, right out of the box. This bicycle rack features Thule's Hitch Switch dual quick-release levers for rapid, rear vehicle access and folding arms for storage, and Thule's T3 Cradles that lock down bikes and cradles while still allowing complete adjustment along the bike arm. The Thule Ridgeline comes with Thule's 955 No Sway Cage, an anti-sway device that prevents bike-to-bike contact, as well as Thule's STL2 hitch lock and an integrated locking cable for a complete security solution. The Ridgeline itself weighs 36 pounds, and has a maximum carrying capacity of 140 pounds.

Good, with a couple of drawbacksJanuary 3, 2009 This works well and is relatively easy to install. Two annoyances:
- It's darned heavy. It would be even easier to install, and you'd get better gas mileage, if it were made out of aluminum vs. steel.
- The locking cable can easily come loose and drag on the ground, causing the tip of it to break off. Apparently this is a common issue.
Great RackNovember 7, 2008 This rack is great: high quality, well-designed, easy to use and does its job very well. No complaints after using it for 3 months.
Great Bike Rack!October 14, 2008 I've researched all comparable bike racks Yak & Thule for a 1 1/4 hitch that holds 4 bikes....this is the best. One concern: the back of the rack was scratched in several places....not sure how Amazon handles that??
Bike Rack ReviewOctober 6, 2008 This is a very nice, well built bike rack. And it work great. It has a high price tag, but if you want a quality rack this is for you.
The best bike carrier.September 18, 2008 I compared Thule to Yakima and Thule is by far the best carrier. It is easy to assemble, easy to break down, easy to use and it looks a ton better too. It has a feature that locks the carrier to the hitch as well as a cable that locks the bikes to the carrier giving you greater peace of mind. I love mine! You will too!
