Bike Racks

The Thule 962XT Speedway 3-Bike Trunk Rack, like most Thule racks, is reliable and sturdy. It is well built and designed to fit most vehicles. Its features:

• A capacity for carrying up to three bikes at a time.
• T3 Cradles to protect your bike’s finish and hold them more securely.
• No Sway cages to hold your bikes in place and prevent collision.
• Six strap system.
• Thule’s patented Fit Dial for perfect fit on almost all vehicles.
• Foldable bike rack arms.

The features clearly put forth the dependable and convenient nature of the rack. The Speedway is a sturdy rack, ideal even for heavy duty use. Its security features include the T3 patented cradles which lock down the bikes while allowing complete adjustment along the arms. The N Sway cage holds the bikes together and prevents bike to bike and car to bike collision. Thus, they help you avoid scratches on your bikes as well as your car. In addition, the bike comes with six straps to secure your bike firmly in place.

The rack is ideal for you if you tend to go biking frequently. It isn’t necessary for lightweight use in and around the neighborhood- in that case, you’re better off choosing a less expensive rack. For the enthusiastic bikers, however, this Speedway is perfect. It has a capacity for carrying up to 3 bikes which means that you can use it for outings or trips with a couple of your friends or family. The rack even performs efficiently on rough roads or in extreme weather conditions. You could drive it up a mountain track, through heavy snow and it will hold the bikes firmly the whole way.

You may think the rack is quite on the expensive side, considering it does carry only three bikes, but that is the price you pay for a Thule rack. These racks are priced high because they are of great quality and are very well built. The rack is not only reliable, but also convenient to use. You can install it in a few minutes and the arms fold down for easy storage. Thus, this rack is convenient, sturdy and heavy duty at the same time. You really couldn’t ask for a better combination.

It is quite expensive for a 2-bike rack, but definitely worth the money. Not many racks offer you the security this rack does, so you won’t regret splurging on it.
