Thule Racks has done it again...a platform style hitch mounting bike rack full of features but low in price! The Thule 990 DoubleTrack Hitch Bike Rack represents the latest in platform bike rack engineering with Thule's Ratcheting Quick Load (RQL) technology so you can get your bicycles loaded quickly and effortlessly. Simply slide each cradle arm down onto each bike frame and clamp each bike wheel inside the bike tray wheel holders and you are ready to roll.
Includes Thule Stinger Swinger so the 990 Thule DoubleTrack fits both 1-1/4" & 2" receiver hitches right out of the box, no additional adapters necessary. The fully adjustable, independent bike tray wheel holders allow for the transport of virtually any shape, size, height or length bicycles (including freeride & downhill bikes, even bicycles with fenders) and no bike seat to handlebar interference when loading 2 bicycles. Bike trays accommodate virtually all tire widths, from skinny 1" road tires to fat 3" mountain bike tires. Thule 990 Double Track completely folds up and out of the way when not in use, offering great rear-end clearance when pulling into garage, parking spaces etc. We recommend the Thule STL2 Snug-Tite Lock (not included; see accessory add-ons below) to lock the 990 DoubleTrack to the receiver hitch. We also recommend a 2-pack of Thule Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below) to lock each bike to the rack.

Solid, Efficient and Nice Looking Too!

Have had this bike rack for about a month now and love it! It was easy to install. Bikes go on and off very quickly/effortlessly. The rack folds away nicely when not in use. I also purchased the optional locks and they too installed very easily. Thanks ORS Racks Direct for making my bike transportation needs simple!

Best bike rack you could buy! I researched bike racks for several weeks and after careful consideration I choose the Tule 990. Its durable and designed to easily load and unload your bikes. Don't waste your money elsewhere.
Go with the Doubletrack
this Thule 990 DoubleTrack review by Jackson Bale
vehicle year/make/model: 2005 Toyota RAV 4
item(s) transported: Bikes
Bought the Thule 990 DoubleTrack last month to mount to my RAV 4 via the trailer hitch. I can’t imagine an easier to use rack. Seriously, you just drop the bike onto the tray, push the padded hook down onto the frame, fasten the wheel straps, and voila, you’re done. I used to have a hitch rack with the support arms that you had to fish through the frame and then strap the frame down in a hundred places. Those days are gone, and I don’t miss them. If you are looking for a hitch rack and you want one that is easy to use and bomb proof, go with the doubletrack!!
Easiest to Load.
this Thule 990 DoubleTrack review by Gavin
vehicle year/make/model: 2003 Subaru Forester

I have been using the Tule 990 Double Track all summer. It has been a delight. At the end of a long ride, when you’re totally spent, the last thing you want to do is have to struggle to load your bike onto a rack. My arms are usually so tired that I can’t lift them over my head, let alone lift them over my head while grasping my bike. All you gotta do to load the bikes into the Doubletack is lift is a few feet off the ground into the tray and then push a padded hook down. Very little energy required. When I get to the bar, for a post ride brewski, I make sure to lock the arms down so my bike doesn’t walk away on me. The other features are nice, like the fold up feature, but what makes me smile is just how effortless it is to load and unload the bikes
