The 9030 Vertex five bike carrier bolts securely to a 50mm square tow hitch socket allowing you take lots of bikes. Its tough American design makes it a heavy duty unit that will hold your bikes securely, looks great and provide years of service.

The Vertex bike carrier tilts away from the vehicle with a simple hand lever giving access to the rear of the car.

Soft rubber cradles cushion the bike and anti-sway cradles are provided to give additional restraint to the bikes. The cradles have channels moulded into them for cables to sit in to without crushing them against the bike frame.

Attching Thule Vertex to tow hitch Thule SnugTite lock

The Vertex bike racks simply bolt onto the tow hitch using the supplied bolt and spanner. Alternatively the STL2 Snug-Tite lock (shown on right) can be supplied as an optional extra.

What Steve thinks......

The Vertex range of bike carriers are very popular and the 5 bike version allows you to carry lots of bikes. I love the tilt function on the Vertex range and these carriers are built to be tough. It is missing a lock to secure it the vehicle but this can be added as an accessory. The bikes can then simply be secured with a regular bicycle cable lock and you have full security.
