Sports reviews of Thule 987XT 6-Ski Adapter for Thule Hitch Mount Bike Racks

Customer Review: Excellent solution for wintersports fans with soft tops
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I bought this to use with my 2010 Wrangler Jeep. It works really well. It works using a base plate that fits behind your spare wheel, with mounting prong coming through the middle of the wheel. Once you have installed the bike rack and then added the ski rack it really is just one piece you have to turn, in order to un-mount or mount the entire rack. This is so much easier than mounting the rack on a roof rack as I had done previously. It looks great on the vehicle, and holds everything in place safely and securely (using the supplied locks). I would highly recommend it.

Description of Thule 987XT 6-Ski Adapter for Thule Hitch Mount Bike Racks

Transport your boards or skis on the back of your vehicle by attaching the Thule Hitch Ski Carrier to your existing Thule Hitch or Spare tire Carrier

The Thule 987XT 6-Ski Adapter is designed to convert your already installed hitch mount bike rack into a vertical ski and snowboard carrier. Attaching directly to your bike rack's carrier arms and vertical assembly using only knobs and hex nuts and screws, installation takes only minutes and its overall cost is much more affordable than buying a a separate snowsport carrier. Features include: capacity up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards and One-Key locking for securing skis and boards.

Transform Your Bike Hitch Carrier into a Snowsport Carrier

The Thule 987XT 6-Ski Adapter is designed to extend the functionality of your existing Thule hitch mount bike rack into the world of snowsports, providing both a convenient way to transport skis and snowboards to the slopes and save you money in the process by utilizing existing hardware. This adapter attaches onto the arms of a wide variety of hitch mount carriers and spare tire carriers, creating a two-sided vertical platform at the rear of your vehicle that allows for easy access to multiple pairs of skis or snowboards of all sizes and thickness. To secure skis and boards the Thule 987XT 6-Ski adapter uses a combination of a lower stationary rack pad that items are slid snugly into and a simple swing arm/knob upper mechanism that is easy to use via its ergonomic design. Each of these knobs also contain One-Key locks to lock skis/snowboards to the carrier. The Thule hitch carrier rack models that the 6-Ski adapter is compatible with include: 964 Revolver, 954 Ridgeline, 912XT / 914XT / 915XT Roadway series, the Parkway series and the 963XTR Spare-Me spare tire bike carrier etc. It is also compatible with all discontinued Thule Hitching Post Pro series and Expressway series of hitch bike racks.

Easy Installation

Because the Thule 987XT 6-Ski adapter utilizes your existing hitch rack and assembles using virtually no tools, installation or removal can be done easily in only minutes. To install first rotate any cradles attached to your hitch mount rack's carrier arms to a flat position. Next slip the provided C-clamps over each of the carrier arms, rest the 987XT unit over the bike arms as indicated in the directions and secure it to the C-clamps using the included hardware and hex wrench. Finally attach the back of the Thule 987XT 6-Ski adapter to the upright assembly of your hitch rack using the U-bolt, spacers and ergonomic knobs provided. (Additional instructions are available for use with Rac 'N' Loc hitch carrier models.)

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
