Thule Presents the New Thule VeloCompact 926 3bike Carrier Equipped with the Next Generation Tow Ball Coupling

Thule is the world leading company when it comes to bike transportation and has now developed the next generation of tow ball coupling that increases the load capacity on bike carriers and makes them easier than ever to mount on the car. The new mechanism is self-stabilizing and allows the user to release the carrier once it has been placed on the tow ball and adjust it before finally securing it with the tightening handle.

The new ThuleVeloCompact926 3-bike carrier is the first product equipped with the next generation tow ball coupling, making the mounting of the carrier to the vehicle significantly easier. Just place the carrier on the tow ball and the self-stabilizing mechanism allows you to release the carrier and adjust it before finally securing it with the tightening handle. This is done without the trouble of stabilizing the carrier. Thanks to the increased load capacity the Thule VeloCompact 926 can carry up to four bikes by adding a
4^th bike adapter (optional accessory).

The coupling´s self-stabilizing mechanism together with the carrier’s small size, helps to increase the load capacity to four bikes, and smart detachable bike arms, makes the Thule VeloCompact 926 a complete and versatile bike carrier for everyday use.
