Product Description : Amazon.comThe Thule 9010 archway rear mounted 3-bike trunk/strap rack is an easy-to-install and use trunk/strap rack carrier with value-added features that make it the perfect choice for up-and-coming and family-oriented cyclists. Designed for attachment to the rear exterior of vehicles with straps, it also features rubberized cradles that protect bike frames while holding them securely, patented FitDial hub adjustments that provide the perfect fit to your vehicle, arms that fold down when not in use, an anti-sway feature to prevent bike-to-bike contact and dual locking mechanisms. Quality 3-bike strap rack functionality with premium features.View larger No-sway, No-hassle 3-bike Carrier FeaturesTrunk/strap mount carriers do not require a roof rack, are easy to install and offer easy access to bikes. 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 9010 archway rear mounted 3-bike rack does away with these issues with its no-sway, no hassle usability. Anti-sway cages ensure stability, while cable locks secure bikes to the carrier.View larger Patented FitDial with Quick-Fit lever adjusts to your vehicle providing a "perfect fit".View larger TrunkLocker strap secures the rack to the vehicle.View larger The Thule 9010 archway quickly secures to trunk and/or hatchback seams with multiple straps just like other carriers in its class, but also contains unique features. The first of these is its easy-to-use, patented FitDial hub adjustment system. Built around angle 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 vehicle exteriors every time it's used. Next are the archway's no-sway cage elements, which attach and extend below each of the rubberized cradles that support your bike frame along to top of the carrier arms. No-sway attachments, used in conjunction with Stay-Put cradle straps, dramatically reduce front-to-back and side-to-side bike frame movement, delivering bike stability that can be comparable to that enjoyed by much more expensive bike carriers. In addition to this, the easy maneuverability of the carrier arms allow for convenient and quick movement up or down to the precise place you need them. This makes the rack usable with virtually any bike frame size. Each arm is also able to be locked down firmly via an easy to use cinch lever at the hub of the unit at either side. This makes driving and parking easier while the rack is installed, but empty of bikes. Two-way Locking FunctionalityBecause the security of bikes from theft is always a concern when they are left alone mounted on your vehicle, the Thule 9010 archway 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 right carrier arm. This cable lock can be be used to secure anywhere from one to three 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 opposite 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.
