Designed in a similar fashion to modern roof racks, Thule’s new VeloCompact rack supports the bikes’ weight from the wheels, with a securing arm purely to ensure the bikes remain upright. With the rear placement of this rack, though, you’re not having to lift the bikes above your head, rather just to the height of your car’s bumper.
When compared to more traditional tow bar racks, the VeloCompact offers a more secure hold to the bikes, with little chance of bikes rubbing each other when on the move. Additionally, there's little risk that an unusual frame design or bike size will cause fitment issues.
The VeloCompact is available in two models, the 925 which is designed to carry two bikes, or as tested, the 927 for carrying three bikes. The 927 is compatible with the ‘fourth bike adaptor’, meaning our tester is capable of carrying up to four bikes with a total load of 60kg.
