The No-sway, No-hassle 2-bike Carrier Now Updated
-------------------------------------------------
Rear carriers do not require a roof rack, are easy to
install on trunks and hatchbacks, 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
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.02.lg.jpg ) Arch tube design provides greater clearance over rear spoilers
and increases vehicle compatibility.
View larger ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/detail-pages/B009LK5V4A.03.lg.jpg ) FitDial with Quick-Fit lever adjusts to your vehicle providing
a perfect fit.
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.
