Thule's most compact and lightweight bike carrier for everyday use (3-4 bikes)

The VeloCompact 3 bike carrier is one our most popular bike carriers and is a pleasure to use and takes up to 4 bikes (with the 4th bike adapter 926-1).

It's easy to lift it onto the tow ball and then push down the single lever to lock it into place. Tilting is an easy one person operation using a foot pedal positioned at the front of the carrier.

The VeloCompact should fit all tow balls. To fit this carrier you need a clear 65mm between the centre of the tow ball and the bumper.

Easy mounting and adjustment of the bike rack before closing the tightening handle, thanks to the towbar coupling’s initial stability.
Possible to increase the load capacity to 4 bikes by adding a fourth bike adapter.
Easy mounting of bikes through detachable bike arms with lockable knobs.
Carries bikes with large wheelbases, thanks to single action extendable wheel holders.
Maximum bike weight for adaptor 926-1 is 15kg.

Fixed Point

A system whereby a stud is threaded into a factory fitting point in the roofline.

Pros: Very neat and a reasonable load limit.
Cons: No flexibility as to where racks sit on the roof.

Raised Roof Rail

Roof racks fit to a factory fitted raised rail on the roof.

Pros: High load limit and flexibility as to where racks can be placed. No contact with paintwork.
Cons: Some rails are quite short and are positioned towards the rear of the vehicle. Always check the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maximum load rating.

Solid Rail

Roof racks fit to a factory fitted raised rail on the roof.

Pros: Neat, low profile, no contact with paintwork and flexible positioning of racks.
Cons: Some rails are quite short and are positioned towards the rear of the vehicle. Always check the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maximum load rating.

Door Mount

Foot sits directly on the paintwork with a clamp that sits in the top of the doorframe.

Pros: A very popular style used when no other options available from the vehicle’s manufacturer.
Cons: Contacts paintwork, typically lower load limits.

Gutter Mount

Old Skool style becoming less common as vehicle manufacturers do away with rain gutters.

Pros: Easy to fit and high load limits.
Cons: You need to buy locking knobs as an accessory with the Thule brand.
