Capitalizing on the recent trend towards more ‘staycation’ based outdoor activities, where friends and family are choosing to load up the car and hit the road to their adventure destinations, Thule Racks is launching an all-new line up of rear mount strap racks as an economical and convenient solution for transporting bikes of all styles, shapes and sizes. The Thule 9007 GateWay trunk bike rack (holds three bicycles) and the Thule 9006 GateWay trunk bike rack (carries two bicycles) are the featured new products in the ‘entry-level’ category, a pair of trunk mount bike rack options that are packed with features for easily installing the strap rack on virtually all styles of vehicles (even convertible car trunks and cars with rear spoilers), hassle-free loading and unloading of the bikes on the carrier and unrivaled reliability that’ll leave you with total peace of mind while traveling down the highway with your bikes on the trunk rack. The 9007 Thule GateWay trunk bike rack and the 9006 Thule GateWay trunk bike rack also sport modern design styling that looks great on any vehicle. Thule Racks has invested an extensive amount of time and effort in delivering a series of trunk bike racks that lay to rest any fears consumers have traditionally had regarding strap racks such as ‘are trunk bike racks safe and secure on the back of my car’ and ‘will a trunk bike rack protect my car and prevent the bikes from swinging around’. Top notch features of the Thule GateWay bike racks include FitDial and Quick-Fit lever for easy installation, Stay-Put cradles and No-Sway cages for easy bike loading and total bicycle protection, Cinch Lever for a custom fit no matter the bike style or bike frame geometry and also enabling the bike arms to fold down when not in use.

These trunk bike racks are also built of bomber steel that can withstand years and years of heavy use. Gone are the days of selecting a trunk mount bike rack only if you plan to occasionally transport your bikes. Now they are an inexpensive alternative to hitch bike racks and roof bike racks. You can leave these carriers on the back of your car if you plan to carry your bikes pretty regularly. Or you can easily remove and re-install without any hassles if you plan to transport bikes only occasionally.
