This makes them common, especially with new cyclists and cost-conscious families, but they can also be one of the least stable options on the road, sometimes leading to bike-on-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact, as well as presenting potential problems with parking and driving while the rack is installed. The Thule 9006XT Gateway 2-bike Rear carrier does away with these issues with no hassle usability, and an updated bike holding ability.

View larger ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/detail-pages/B009L10IGA.04.lg.jpg ) The Thule 9006XT Gateway 2-bike Rear Carrier quickly secures to trunk or hatchback seams with multiple straps just like other strap carrier, but also contains unique features rarely seen in carriers in its price range. The first of these is the addition of HoldFast Cradles. Thule HoldFast cradles are an update to the Stay-put cradles that were used on previous Gateway models. The horizontal top tube of bike frames rest in the firmer hold of single-piece, rubberized HoldFast cradle, which are then secured with rubberized straps. When combined with the no-sway cages, which attach to the vertical seat tube of a bike frame, the result is a superior hold that better isolates each bike in place. Thule Gateway bike carriers also feature the easy-to-use, patented FitDial hub adjustment system. Built around angled Quick-Fit adjusting levers at the right and left of the unit's hub and utilizing a precise easy-to-remember number system, it provides for a perfect and easy to replicate fit to your vehicle exterior every time you the carrier. In addition to this, the patented Cinch Lever of the 9006XT Gateway Carrier allows the bike arms to adjust independently. This is convenient for use with unique bike frames and/or carrier accessories that allow for the ing of children's, and women's bikes. Additional features of note include: a simple but effective Velcro strap management system that keeps excess strap segments out of the way, tie down straps to further secure bike frames and front wheels, the ability to fold the carrier flat for convenient storage, and bike cradles positioned to provide ample spacing between bikes to avoid incidental bike-to-bike contact during transport.

About Thule ----------- Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both ally and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life. See more ( javascript:void(0) )
