Product details

The transport capacity can be increased from 2 to 3 bikes by adding adapter 973-23 and to 4 bikes by adding adapters 973-23 and 973-24. The elevated position of the carrier maintains visibility of the taillights and license plate. All parts that come into contact with the vehicle or bikes are covered with protective rubber. Convenient loading of the bikes is facilitated by removable bike support arms. Secure bike attachment is ensured by rim straps with quick release. Extendable wheel rails accommodate larger bikes. It folds flat for easy storage and handling. It secures the bikes to the bike carrier (lock included) and the bike carrier to the vehicle with separate accessories. A vehicle-specific mounting kit is required for installation on different vehicle models. This product is not universally mountable. Please use the Thule buying guide for information on specific vehicle models.

Thule bike carrier BackPac

Not all vehicle roofs are the same. Make sure you choose a bike carrier that fits your vehicle. A bicycle carrier consists of several components. In order for it to be fully mounted on your car, you need a bicycle carrier and a roof-specific mounting kit. The Thule buying guide at http://www.thule.com/fitguide/default.aspx?language=de-dearket=ch will help you find the perfect solution and a suitable mounting kit for your needs. You can then find the appropriate mounting kit at Galaxus under "Bike carrier accessories".
