Compact Design for Everyday Convenience

The Thule OutPace 3 Bike Rack is designed for cyclists who want a practical three-bike carrier without unnecessarily bulky storage requirements.

Its foldable construction makes the carrier easier to transport, handle and store between journeys.

Weighing 18.6kg, the OutPace combines a sturdy platform design with convenient carrying and mounting features.

When folded, its compact dimensions make it particularly appealing to households with limited garage or storage space.

Innovative Tilt-Up Function for Easier Parking

One of the standout features of the Thule OutPace is its clever tilt-up parking function.

When no bicycles are loaded, the carrier can be tilted upwards towards the rear of your vehicle, reducing the amount of space it occupies while parked.

This is especially useful in driveways, car parks and locations where space behind your vehicle is limited.

Important: The upright tilt-up position is intended for parking only. The carrier must not be driven in this position.

Convenient Boot Access with Bikes Loaded

The Thule OutPace also features a practical tilt-down mechanism that allows the carrier to move away from your vehicle.

This provides convenient access to your car boot even when bicycles are fitted, subject to sufficient tailgate clearance.

Whether you're stopping for equipment during a cycling holiday or accessing luggage at a trail centre, the tilting design makes travelling with bikes more convenient.

Flexible Bike Attachment for Different Frame Designs

The Thule OutPace features individually adjustable bike arms with articulated attachment heads.

These heads can rotate, slide and pivot to accommodate a wide variety of compatible bicycle frame geometries.

The flexible strap attachment system supports frame dimensions between 20mm and 90mm, making the rack suitable for many road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes and hybrid bicycles.

Individual bike arms also allow you to load and unload bicycles in any order, which is particularly useful when travelling with a mixture of bike styles.

Suitable for Mountain Bikes & Lightweight E-Bikes

With a maximum individual bicycle weight of 25kg, the Thule OutPace is suitable for many conventional bikes and certain lightweight electric bikes.

However, the combined weight of all bicycles must not exceed 50kg.

This makes it a practical choice for families carrying a mixture of conventional bicycles and compatible e-bikes.

For customers transporting multiple heavier electric bikes, a higher-capacity Thule carrier such as the EasyFold 3 or VeloSpace 3 may be more suitable.

Easy Wheel Mounting & Secure Transportation

The Thule OutPace uses adjustable wheel holders with practical ratcheting pump buckles.

These allow bicycle wheels to be secured quickly and accommodate tyres measuring up to 3 inches wide.

Convenient wheel strap parking slots keep straps organised and out of the way during loading and unloading.

With support for wheelbases up to 1250mm and bicycle wheel sizes from 16 to 32 inches, the OutPace offers compatibility with a broad selection of bicycles.

Ideal for Scottish Cycling Adventures

From family cycling routes around Loch Lomond to mountain biking at Glentress and exploring the Scottish Highlands, the Thule OutPace 3 Bike Towbar Carrier provides a convenient solution for transporting your bicycles.

Its compact folding design, versatile bike mounting system and innovative parking function make it particularly attractive to families, everyday cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.

Whether you're setting off from Glasgow for a day on the trails or travelling across the UK and Europe, the Thule OutPace is designed to make taking your bikes along easier.

Vehicle Compatibility & Important Information

The Thule OutPace 3 Bike Towbar Rack requires a suitable vehicle towbar and a 13-pin electrical connection for its integrated rear lighting.

Before purchasing, check your vehicle's maximum permitted towbar nose weight, bicycle dimensions and the compatibility of the carrier with your vehicle.

The rack weighs 18.6kg, which must be included when calculating the total weight supported by your towbar.

Although each bicycle position supports up to 25kg, the combined bicycle weight must not exceed 50kg.

The tilt-up parking position should only be used when the carrier is unloaded and the vehicle is parked. Always return the carrier to the correct travelling position before driving.
