Thule Apex XT 4

Four bikes on a hanging rack that fits both 1.25-inch and 2-inch hitches — that versatility is hard to find at four-bike capacity. At 35 lbs with 150 lb total capacity, tilt-away, fold-flat, integrated locks, carbon-frame-safe. The 37.5 lb per-bike limit rules out e-bikes. Steel construction keeps the price accessible. I recommend this to budget-minded families who need four standard bikes carried reliably without spending platform-rack money.
