These carriers are installed directly on the vehicle trailer coupling and offer an easy way to transport one or more bicycles. They are particularly popular because of their stability and easy handling. Models such as the Thule Easyfold XT or the Thule Velocompact are excellent examples of the combination of security, user -friendliness and compactness.

Roof racks are ideal for drivers who do not want to restrict access to the trunk. They require that your vehicle has a roof rail or a similar system to which the carrier can be attached. The Thule Proride or Thule Upride are excellent options for cyclists who value aerodynamics and the safety of their bike.

Heck flap wearers are a practical alternative for vehicles without trailer coupling or roof rails. They can be easily assembled and disassembled and are ideal for light and moderate bicycles. The Thule Outway 2 platform is such a carrier.

What you should take into account when choosing

When choosing the right Thule bike rack for your vehicle, there are some important points to consider:

  • Vehicle type and equipment: Not every bike rack fits every vehicle. Check the compatibility with your vehicle type and whether special adjustments are required.
  • Number of bicycles: Think about how many bicycles you want to transport regularly. Thule offers solutions for a single bike to straps for up to 4 bicycles.
  • Bicycle types: Take into account the type of bicycles you want to transport. For example, e-bikes are heavier than conventional bicycles, which can affect the choice of the carrier.
  • Frequency of use: If you want to use your bike rack regularly, invest in a model that is characterized by user -friendliness and durability.
  • Security and protection: Security is crucial. Pay attention to carriers with good locking systems that protect your bicycles and your vehicle from damage.

Conclusion

Choosing the right bike carrier can make the difference when it comes to fully living your passion for cycling. With the right information and careful consideration of your needs, you can select the ideal Thule model that meets your requirements and enables you to transport your bicycles safely, easily and easily.

Whether you choose a trailer clutch wearer, roof rack or tailgate wearer, every Thule product stands for quality, security and innovation.
