The NEW Thule Xpress 970 is probably the quickest and simplest cycle carrier to fit currently on the market today. Fitment takes a matter of seconds and it would be ideal for you if you regularly carry 1 or 2 bikes and have a towbar fitted to your vehicle.
The 970 - Xpress 2 Bike Tow Bar Mounted Carrier is a lightweight tow bar mounted carrier which is designed to carry up to 2 bikes and offers rubber coated frame holders which keep the bikes firmly in place while protecting them from damage. The 970 - Xpress 2 Bike Tow Bar Mounted Carrier also folds flat when not in use for easy storage and is even compact enough to store in the trunk of a car.
Features
• Rubber coated frame holders keep the bikes firmly in place while protecting the frames from scratches and marks.
• Relfexes on the endcaps provide extra safety in traffic.
• Folds flat for easy storage, compact enough to be kept in the trunk of the car.

Thanks for the video! I was having issues with positioning my bike but I've figured out to fix the issue with the help of your video!👍👍

I can fit very easily 2 biikes on mine. My byke is a huge frame, 46, and my wife's is a 42. There is no problem fitting them. The longest travel I have made with them on the rack was 1500 km with no problem. I have also bought for 19 pounds a number plate with lights that you simply hang onto the last bike and you hook it into the electric plug of the towbar. Problem solved!

I’ve been told to be careful try not to locate your wheel to close to your exhaust as the heat from it can burn your tyre to burst

There are a couple of small issues here . number plate not being visible there are 2 options . 1 . Thule light board (straps on to bikes or No. 2 is a simple normal number plate backing ( 10 bucks if that) Simple.. next is the way that rubber strap is taking a lot of strain. that is wrong! YES u can tilt the rubbers and play with the angles . Always make sure ur bike frame is resting on the rack .

Great review !!! thx

it seems like a good idea that you can rotate the strap - but the strap at the left ie the one around the seat post - it looks to me that the strap itself is taking some of the weight of the bike and this does not seem safe or secure to me - surely the carrier support bar should be taking all of the weight of the bike ? the flexible rubber strap might fail after a while, and probably when I'm on the motorway.

great help! thank you! one question though...how will the bikes be secure with a chain around that bar that has 2 screws of which you only need to take one out and the whole carrier with your 2 bikes comes off in just abut 20 seconds, as much it takes you to unscrew that screw :) .... ?

Doens't the police makes a problem of the fact your license plate and lights of your car are less visable? With a bit of luck you can't get shot at a radar control. :-)

What size of ball does it need? I have a 2 inch ball and it's kind of loose...

@dariordz688 6 жыл бұрын

Hey billy, I'm terribly late I know, but did you try to change the lock height of the rack? Mine was a little loose too and by changing the angle it locks better. Plus I cut to shape a rubber sheet so it would make some friction with the locking system at the bottom. It worked well for me!

@stevie2686 Жыл бұрын

He had screwed it up with those 2 black screws if I’m allowed to say black 😊. But once the wait of the bike or bikes go on it doesn’t have any fail safe incase it unfolds on the arms with the weight. Or rolling back .

Bad advice about turning the rubber mount. This is a great bike carrier though. i have one 10/10

I've heard of opportunist thieves nicking bikes off these racks while you are in traffic (at lights for instance).A bike lock would be a no-brainer .... regardless of where you are travelling to ride.

Yeah... But it block the license plate and the taillights. So no thank you, I'll look for an other one. Not looking forward to getting pulled over by the police every time I ride with that thing.

Or just get a spare number plate and clip it on top of the bike.
