how many bikes can this hold at once?

I believe it is rated for 250 lbs, so with 30 lb bikes, it would hold 8 if you had nothing else stored in it. Of course, that would change if you store other items in the loft and would depend on the weight of your bikes.

The space is 45 x 45 inches and can hold items up to 28inches tall. I don't think it would efficiently hold bikes, but I guess that depends on the size the bikes you mention. This is best for boxes/containers or other items that fit well into 45x45x(16 to 28).

Yes, just alter the directions of the bike. And yes it will hold one bike without tipping over.

It really depends on the size of your bikes. We have two Gary Fischer mountain bikes and the racks are hung approx. 12-15 inches from each other.

Per the instruction manual it is 45 lbs PER bike. This equates to 180 lbs total when in 4-bike mode and 90 lbs in 2-bike mode...though realistically 2-bike mode can hold more than that considering it is also supporting the extension and other 2-bikes.

Yes. It fits 2 bikes easily. We have a cruiser bike and a mountain bike both fit with no problem.

I did but I think it would depend on the size of the bikes. It is tight with two.

You can probably get two on these. I don't have any bikes right now so I can't say for sure.

I'm not sure it would be stable enough for four bikes. Aside from that even if you put bikes across from each other your handlebars would not have space. So i'd say no.

Yes, but not as tightly as I would like. My mountain bike has a think frame so it can be challenging. Also, there is no way this rack can carry 4 mountain bikes. Two tops.

According to the manual for S545, the max load is 140lbs. It doesn't break it down per bicycle, but it averages out to 35 lbs per bike if you're carrying four bikes.

Its a very sturdy bike/heavy bike rack but I really like the one I bought. I would say as long as the 2 inch receiver you have put on your vehicle will hold a decent amount of weight you will be okay. I would say the rack plus 3 to 4 bikes will weight between 100-125 depending on the weight of the bikes. Again I did a lot of research before I bought my bike rack and it works very good.

I wondered that myself and I still don't know the limit but this thing is sturdy. I mounted it to my camper's bumper and then inserted my bike rack into that. I hung on it my self and bounced up and down a bit. I weigh about 250, It didn't move at all. I knew then that it would hold all four of the bikes no problem. I have used it once for a short trip about about an hour away and had no issues. Just be sure as some of the other reviews have mentioned, that your bumper is welded directly to the frame. You shouldn't have any issues and for the money this is a great buy in my opinion.

The XTR allows you to add another platform for two additional bikes for a total of 4 bikes and 2 racks. Hope it helps. If in doubt go to Thule official page.

I've put 3 bikes on my Jeep Wrangler, but they were titanium and only weigh about 20 lbs each. The rack is very solid and would have no problen with any 3 bikes, but your spare tire and tailgate hinges might...

I don't think there is one. You could carry 2 of the heaviest bikes made without any trouble. This rack is heavy duty.

1 per bike, I have a thule 2 Bike rack and it fits well. You can goto the website and see if it is compatible

Not sure of the exact weight limit per se. But it can easily carry 4 adult bikes.
