A: Here are some customer reviews of the Thule EasyFold XT 2:
- "Magic product. When you want something of quality, you have to pay for it. This product is worth every penny. It can easily support two electric bikes without any issues. Easy installation, takes only 30 seconds, and folds like a suitcase in no time. Highly recommended."
- "Awesome. Perfect for my Haibike on a pickup truck! Solid, easy to install, and practical!"
- "Indispensable. So many positive points for this indispensable product for carrying our two electric bikes. Very easy to install, fold, and store. It's expensive, but it seems very reliable."
- "Expensive but well-designed and secure... Delivery had a little confusion in tracking, but overall, the product arrived in good condition. No need to assemble anything, just attach the license plate. The standard size of the plate fits perfectly with the provided fixings. I put some silicone behind the plate to stick it a bit and avoid potential vibration noises. Installation on the car's hitch is very easy. Adjust the knob to tighten it on the hitch. Attaching the bikes is also very easy. Tilting to access the trunk is also very simple. A beautiful product that is worth its weight in gold. This bike carrier can be used up to 130 km/h (specified in the specifications). Tranquility and safety come at a price."
- "A good product, but a few flaws. As usual with Thule, it is a super quality product with the price to match. But there are still a few small details missing for the 5th star. Pros: - Great quality, finish, it doesn't move on the hitch, it's a bike carrier that inspires confidence. - The folding function allows it to fit in a small car trunk (for me, it fits perfectly in the 2021 Sandero). But be aware that it is still a bike carrier and it takes up quite a bit of space, but it's compact and cubic enough for easy storage. The cover (separate accessory) prevents the trunk from getting dirty if the bike carrier is dirty/wet. The fact that it folds also facilitates storage, transport, and assembly. - Unlike other older Thule bike carriers, the wheel straps are long enough, even for large bikes (large 29" mountain bikes with 2.6 tires, no problem). Thule sells longer straps as an option for fat bikes. - No problem putting large bikes on it, from 29" mountain bikes to bikes with wide handlebars, it fits. Cons: - The price, obviously. But well, this folding function is really practical. - Frame attachment. Unfortunately, Thule has not yet worked miracles in this area. Especially on this bike carrier. The upright that holds the clamping arms could be higher; it would be much easier to attach the bikes. This is the case with the 3-bike version. And with modern bikes, frames are becoming increasingly difficult to clamp (especially on the lower tube of e-bikes, for example). This is what cost them the 5th star in my rating."
