Thule Xpress 970 Silver 2 Bike Tow Ball Mounted Carrier (970003)
Thule Xpress 970 Silver 2 Bike Tow Ball Mounted Carrier (970003)
Peace of mind with our Overview:
- Basic and easy-to-use tow ball bike rack for two bikes
- Tool-free installation
- Folds flat for easy storage and handling
- 15kg per bike weight capacity
Get back to basics with this simple and easy to use bike carrier, perfect for those who don't want all the bells and whistles of other carriers and only use their rack occasionally. It isn't suited to use with electric bikes due to its low weight capacity and we do not recommend using it with carbon framed bikes due to the possibility of marking the delicate finish on these types of bikes.
It has a two bike capacity and your bikes hang from the carrier by their frames and are secured there via buckles with an integrated strap to prevent your bikes wondering while on the move. If you have a step through or other unusual shaped bike frame you may need the 982XT frame adaptor to carry your bike with this carrier.
To attach this carrier to your tow ball is a very simple affair and an easy task for one person due to the amazingly low weight of the carrier at just 4.3kg. Please refer to the instructions for more information on installation and use.
Please note this carrier does not include locks and you may need to use an auxiliary licence plate holder or lightboard if it obscures your lights or plate when fitted and in use.
This model will not accommodate all bicycle frame types. Please check your towbar rating and local state laws before using this carrier.
