Rack Warehouse - America's #1 Automotive Rack Store

  Rack Warehouse: Thule Gateway Pro 2 The Thule Gateway Pro 2   is a bike trunk mounted carrier that is designed to maximize the range of vehicles it will fit.  The Gateway Pro 2 fastens to your vehicle safely and securely with six maximum-strength nylon straps and rubber coated metal hooks. The Gateway Pro 2 bike carrier is equipped with Thule's Quick-Fit lever system, which allows for easy adjustment and a perfect fit. Thule's Cinch-Lever mechanism provides the unique ability to adjust each bike support arm independently for a better fit with non-traditional bike frames. The Gateway Pro 2 bike carrier’s compact cradles use a ratcheting style cradle strap - making loading and unloading your bikes quick and easy. The bike cradles are spaced 7" apart providing a greater distance between bikes for a safe and secure fit. Bike cradles also include Anti-Sway fasteners which help provide extra stability, protection and prevent bike-to-bike contact. For bicycle security, the Ga...

    What's the size of a large box of doughnuts, sets up in seconds, and safely carries your bike? No, it's not a riddle, it's the new Allen MT-1 Trunk Mounted 1 Bicycle Rack .  Installing the MT-1 on your vehicle couldn't be easier-just unfold the three support arms and snap them in place, rest the self-leveling rubber coated support pads on your trunk or hatch, put the three mounting clips in place, and tighten the straps. When you're ready to ride, pop your bike off the rack, take the rack off your vehicle, fold it up and stow the MT-1 in your backpack or duffel. (It even comes with its own small carry bag.) The one bike model is available now, and the Allen MT-2 Trunk Mounted 2 Bike Rack will be out later this spring.     While you're waiting for the last of the snow to melt, check out this video of the head of Allen Sports USA touring the factory where the Allen MT-1 is manufactured.

    The new Thule 9010 Archway 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bicycle Rack makes your basic bike rack just a little less basic. Its sleek new design utilizes a quick-set fitting mechanism to set the carrier to the proper angle for your vehicle, and its curved frame accommodates many vehicles with spoilers. The tried-and-true six strap mounting system attaches quickly and securely to just about any vehicle. The Archway features Thule's new Cinch-Lever bike arm adjustment system not only lets you fold the arms down when not carrying bikes, it also allows each arm to be adjusted up or down independently. Together with Thule's Stay-Put cradles, this makes the Archway capable of accepting bike frames of nearly any design (though NOT carbon fiber frame bicycles-those should always be carried by the tires or forks, otherwise you risk cracking the frame of the bike).     Thule hasn't forgotten about bike security, either. The Archway's integrated lock cable secures your...

    Thule's new 9002 RaceWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bicycle Rack just arrived in our warehouse this morning, but we're going to need more of them. LOTS more. Because everyone with bikes but no trailer hitch is going to want one. Thule spent about 2 years perfecting the RaceWay's design, and it shows. The RaceWay's integrated Fit Number system allows you to set the carrier's angle to match the back of your vehicle even faster than on previous models. Thule's new Sure-Tight cable system locks the RaceWay to your vehicle with a couple quick turns of a knob. This new ultra-stable system needs only 4 rubber coated hooks to hold the rack securely in place, and the locking adjustment knobs keep thieves from loosening the cut-resistant cables and walking away with your bike rack . Thule has also included an integrated cable lock to secure the outermost bike (which makes it nearly impossible to swipe your other bikes, too). You can check out the full RaceWay installatio...

    This just in...or should we say these just in...new surfboard and paddleboard carriers from Thule have arrived. With new rack pads that fit Thule's Aero bars and most factory racks, as well as new board tiedowns like the Thule 531 Express Stretchable Bungee Surfboard Straps , you know spring is just around the corner. If that's not enough to get you excited, then take a look at Thule's new 9001 Raceway 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Bicycle Rack. (There will also be a three bike version available soon.)

    If you're looking for the hands down highest quality strap mounted bicycle carrier, then you're looking for the QuickBack from Yakima. It's great for carrying bikes on vehicles without roof racks or receiver hitches, and it's available in both 2 and 3 bike models. Both the QuickBack 2 and the QuickBack 3 install quickly and easily on virtually any trunk or hatchback, with integrated adjustment knobs that set the angle of the bike arms and the main frame, and a labeled strap system that takes all the guesswork out of mounting your rack. Its premium Tr-Padded feet and padded buckles protect your vehicle's finish, and it can be safely mounted on most glass hatches with the included Glass Hatch Hooks. The QuickBack features a new, narrower arm design which accommodates more frame styles than other trunk or hatch mounted bike racks. If your bike lacks a top tube, though, you'll need to pick up a Yakima Tube Top bike frame adapter so that the QuickBack has som...

    There are a lot of different bike racks available these days. If you're an occasional rider looking for an affordable way to bring your bike with you, a trunk or hatch mounted rack is a great option. With these strap on racks, there's no need to stretch and strain while lifting your bike up onto the roof. There's also no need to have an expensive hitch receiver installed on your vehicle, either. They are likely to interfere with rear of vehicle access while strapped onto your vehicle, though, so if you're a more frequent  rider with a lot of gear to haul, you may want to take a look at receiver hitch mounted bicycle racks or roof rack mounted bicycle racks instead. We hope this introduction to trunk and hatch mounted bike carriers will help you decide if a strap mount bicycle rack is right for you. Trunk or Hatch Mounted Bicycle Carriers     Most vehicles on the road today can safely utilize trunk and hatch mounted bicycle racks ,  even...
