Everyone is Envious of Us!
this Thule 963 XT SpareMe review by SFK
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
item(s) transported: Lightspeed & Giant road bikes
My husband and I decided to purchase the Thule 963 XT Spare Me bike rack so that we don't have to stuff the bicycles in our Suzuki Grand Vitara nor having to drive 2 vehicles to go on a ride. It is perfect for us and what we love most is that arms folds down neatly when not in use. It was easy to install and we are now the envy of our bicycle fraternity. Purchasing from ORS Racks Direct was simple and the bike rack was delivered in a couple of days.

ORDERING NOTES
Lock & keys included to secure bike rack to vehicle. We recommend a cable bike lock (not included see accessory add-ons above) to secure bicycles to carrier.
We recommend the 982 Thule Bike Frame Adaptor (not included; see accessory add-ons above) for very safe and easy loading of bikes that don't have a level top tube frame such as kids, womens, bmx and downhill mountain bike frames.
If you ski or snowboard we recommend the Thule 987XT ski rack attachment for the 963XT SpareMe (sold separately; see accessory add-ons above.)
