Thule RaceWay 991

Sturdy, secure and easy to install, the Thule RaceWay 991 is suitable for mounting on almost any type of passenger car — the holder fits equally well on the boot lid of a sedan, station wagon, hatchback or SUV.

Ratchet mechanism

The model clings to the boot door using four steel cables with rubberized gaskets at the ends, which are inserted into the gaps between the lid and the car body. The tension of the cables is carried out by means of a ratchet mechanism — it allows the gear wheel to rotate only in one direction, so the owner of the holder does not have to worry about a possible weakening of the tension.

Reliable fixation

Bicycles in the amount of 2 pcs. are placed on the platform and fixed on it with the help of rubber straps covering the frame of the "two-wheeled horse" in several places at once. Special separators do not allow bicycles to touch each other and touch any parts of the car body. In addition, the bikes are locked on the mount with a key, and the holder itself, in turn, is also locked on the boot.

Advantages and disadvantages

The shock absorption system used in the design of the platform effectively softens the unevenness of the roadway, minimizing the impact of a bad road on the installed bikes. Another advantage of the model is its compactness when folded. But there was still a fly in the ointment — the design of the Thule RaceWay 991 blocks the visibility of the rear license plate, and there is no special place on the mount for duplicating the number. Well, if you plan to transport not 2, but 3 bikes, the Swedish brand Thule has a similar model with three seats — Thule RaceWay 992.
