Weighing just 14.2kg, this towbar carrier is easier to lift, manoeuvre and store than many larger bike carriers.

Its compact construction makes it particularly appealing to couples, occasional cyclists and anyone who wants a reliable bike rack without unnecessary bulk.

Suitable for Road Bikes, Mountain Bikes & Compatible E-Bikes

The Thule VeloCompact 2 is designed to accommodate a variety of bicycle styles.

Its detachable bike arms and adjustable wheel holders make it a versatile choice for road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes and lighter electric bikes.

Each bicycle can weigh up to 25kg, provided the total combined bicycle weight does not exceed 46kg.

This makes the carrier suitable for many lightweight e-bikes and mixed bicycle combinations.

Before purchasing, check your bicycle weight, frame dimensions, tyre width and wheelbase to ensure compatibility.

Easy Loading with Detachable Bike Arms

The Thule VeloCompact 2 features detachable bike arms with lockable knobs, making it easier to position and secure bicycles individually.

Extendable wheel holders accommodate compatible bicycles with wheelbases up to 1250mm, while long wheel straps with pump buckles help secure the wheels in position.

The adjustable towbar coupling is designed for convenient one-handed adjustment, helping make fitting the carrier straightforward.

With its practical design and intuitive attachment system, the Thule VeloCompact 2 makes everyday bike transport simpler.

Convenient Boot Access with Foot-Pedal Tilt

Need access to your luggage while your bicycles are loaded?

The Thule VeloCompact 2 features a smart foot-operated tilting mechanism that allows the carrier to tilt away from your vehicle.

This makes it easier to access your car boot without removing your bicycles, subject to vehicle clearance.

It's particularly useful when stopping for equipment, changing cycling gear or unpacking during a weekend away.

Compact Folding for Easy Storage

When your cycling adventure is finished, the Thule VeloCompact folds into a compact shape for convenient storage.

Its folded dimensions of 106 × 66 × 30cm make it suitable for storage in many car boots, garages and sheds.
