Review on THULE Xpress 2 970 towbar bike rack black/chrome by Micha ukasiewicz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Arranged a full test for fastening. I traveled in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Region for about 90 km, the roads are mostly flat. For the first 20 minutes it was scary to run into speed bumps, but then I ran into a deep hole a couple of times and saw that the bike didn’t even twitch, it was held as a whole with the car. In the end, I no longer restrained myself in speed and drove 120 km per hour, there were no vibrations. Of course, I fastened the steering wheel to the wheel so that it would not sway and inserted a piece of iron into the keyhole. I was worried that my big bike (with 29 "wheels and a 20" frame) would strongly stick out of the body, I planned to remove the front wheel, but it turned out that only the rear wheel was sticking out and then, quite a bit, no further than a mirror. There were several narrow sections of the road and there were no problems with this. I drove past 2 traffic police posts, they didn’t even pay attention to me, but they can stop me - the number is not visible. I would not dare to put a second bike and I don’t even know how it will fit there, but it’s very convenient to put one bike, it takes 1 minute. There are even special recesses for cables and they really got there. The mount itself is fixed on the ball without any titanium efforts and the reliability of the hitch is felt, you can’t just move it with your hands.

Pros
  • Reliable fastening, does not sway on bumps Recesses for bike cables Convenient to put one bike, takes 1 minute
Cons
  • Closes the number
