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 and presenting problems with parking. They also can expose bikes to possible security issues. The Thule 9009XT Archway 2-bike Rear carrier does away with these issues with no hassle usability, and significant updates to its bike holding ability. New Hold Fast Cradles and anti-sway cages have Road Dampening Technology (RDT) to cushion the bike and provide maximum bike security.

View larger ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/detail-pages/B009LK5V4A.04.lg.jpg ) The Thule 9009XT Archway quickly secures to trunk and hatchback seams with multiple straps just like other carriers in its class, but also contains unique features. The first of these is its new HoldFast cradles and no-sway cage elements. In earlier Archway models, the top tube and the upright seat tube of a bike frame was placed within cradles and anti-sway cages of a more basic design. The result was good support of bike frames horizontally and vertically. This stability is taken to the next level with the HoldFast cradles and optimized no-sway attachments of the 9009XT, both of which utilize Road Dampening Technology (RDT) in the form of blue elastomers (elastic polymers) that are embedded at contact points in the cradles and cages. This material molds to the bike tubes placed against it, not only holding them securely, but also helping to absorb road shock and vibration. The next stand out feature of the 9009XT is its easy-to-use, patented FitDial with Quick-Fit lever. Built around angle-adjusting levers at the right and left of the unit's hub and utilizing a precise easy to remember number system, together these provide for a perfect and easy to replicate fit to vehicle exteriors every time the carrier is used. Other notable stowage features of the Thule 9009XT Archway 2-bike carrier include: oversized molded pads to protect vehicle finish when the carrier is ed, an arcing tube design that provides more clearance over car spoilers providing a greater a vehicle fits, a strap to keep front bike wheels inline preventing contact with the vehicle or other bikes, and bike arms that fold down when not in use for easier parallel parking. Two Levels of Locking Functionality ----------------------------------- Because the security of bikes from theft is always a concern when they are left ed on your vehicle, the Thule 9009XT Archway 2-bike Rear Carrier offers two levels of security. First, the unit ships with a lock cylinder and key that can be used to lock the integrated retractable cable that extends from the left-aligned carrier arm. This cable lock can be be used to secure anywhere from one to all of your bikes to the carrier. Also included with the rack is a Thule TrunkLocker strap. This strap has two distinct ends. One of these loops around the rack while the site end, which contains an integrated puck-like element, hangs over the interior edge of your trunk or hatchback. By closing the trunk with this end in place, the entire rack is secured to your vehicle.

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) )
