Ended up buying the previous version of the Thule T2 Pro 9035 (https://www.thule.com/en-us/us/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-t2-pro-9035-_-1689770), the new one is a bit easier to use, but is $549 instead of $449. Not supposed to use with bikes with fenders, but like others I do with no problems. Very pleased so far. With 1.25" receiver I make reduced 100 lbs. total weight limit by removing batteries. 2" receivers get 120 lbs.

I'm more than happy with my Thule EuroClassic 928 G6 LED
It gets used mainly for when traveling from the UK to Switzerland, and I have every confidence in it.
The OTT locks are fitted due to an overnight stop in France. Having said that, after seeing the carnage of bikes scattered on Autobahn's on two separate occasions, when cycles have fallen from racks, I always lock the bikes to the rack, and the rack to the towbar.

I have the Thule Easy Fold 9032 and absolutely love it.
I carry two e-bikes (Optibike and Easy Motion) weighing over 100 lbs. combined.
The clamps are fully adjustable (and removable), they're lockable w/key, and I've found them to be extremely sturdy and secure without damaging our bikes..
I especially like how easy the rack attaches to the 2" receiver, and how easy the bikes install and remove from this rack.
I've driven up rough logging roads in the Cascades and it has held up through all the washboard and potholes.
I'm in awe at the engineering that must have gone into it's design every time I use it.

Europe has different requirements for racks - they must have electric connections to satisfy their safety laws.
The U.S. version of the rack does not require this, so they're not available here as I understand it.

Hi Vincent, I'm from the UK, so it could be a European only version. edit... Just crossed with Greg's reply
I've owned it for just over one year.
The full spec can be found here https://www.thule.com/en/gb/bike-rack/towbar-bike-racks/thule-euroclassic-g6-928-_-928003
I actually had a very good deal on it paid way under half of what the full retail price should have been.

Just got the Thule Easy Fold 9032. Expensive, but sturdy and easy to use!
