FAQ
Can you put three bikes on the roof rack?
Almost all modern vehicles are capable of mounting up to 4 bikes (sometimes more) on the roof, and if you need to make sure this is possible, just use our roof-mounting bike carrier guide to see how many Thule bike carriers can be mounted on your vehicle.
Is the tailwind frame better?
While more expensive than the bike racks on the trunk ($150 to more than $500), tailwind racks are a great option for frequent users – especially those who need to carry more than three bikes. Tailwind frames are typically designed to tow two to five bikes.
How much weight can a hitch’s frame hold?
Generally, Level 1 cars are rated at 200 pounds and Level 2 cars are rated at 350 pounds. Class I rings are usually compromised in their ability to be bolted to the frame (not having enough space or interfering with components).
What is the maximum speed of the bike rack?
What is the recommended maximum speed when using a bike rack? When in traction, you are restricted to a maximum speed of 50 MPH in a single lane and 60 MPH on dual carriageways and highways. Do not exceed the speed limit.
Can you exceed the weight limit of the bike frame?
Bicycles that exceed the recommended weight limit for personal bicycles should not carry this rack system. This is because the retention mechanism is not designed or tested to accommodate bikes that are heavier than the listed value, even if the total weight carried is less than the maximum capacity of the bike rack.
