Replacing the older model Thule 962XT Speedway and 961XT Speedway trunk bike racks are the all-new Thule Archway series of rear mount strap racks. Two models are available, the Thule 9010 ArchWay 3 bike trunk rack (for transporting three bicycles) and the Thule 9009 ArchWay 2 bike trunk rack (for transporting two bicycles), and both feature the same materials construction, design and best-in-class components as the Thule 9007 GateWay 3 and Thule 9006 GateWay 2 trunk racks. However, the ArchWays also include a full suite of security to both lock the bikes to the bike rack and the carrier itself to the car. There is an integrated cable bike lock on the end of one of the bike arms that locks the bicycle to the carrier, while the included TrunkLocker security strap protects the ArchWay from being stolen off the vehicle. These rar mount strap racks fit a broad spectrum of car models that include convertible, coupe, sedan, hatchback wagon, minivan, SUV and more. Also fits most cars with a rear spoiler.

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.

Many of the new improvements in the Yakima Racks trunk mount bike rack category can be attributed to the release of the latest generation Yakima SuperJoe series trunk bike racks. Now called the 8002630 Yakima SuperJoe Pro 3 bike trunk rack (holds three bicycles) and the 8002629 Yakima SuperJoe Pro 2 bike trunk rack (carries two bikes), these models feature advancements over the previous Super Joe 3 and Super Joe 2 bike racks. With an updated QuickTrigger Hub System and StableCradles & Straps, the SuperJoe Pro series is now easier than ever to install on the back of a car on the trunk or the rear hatchback door. With just a quick adjustment of the QuickTrigger fitting dial and the attachment of the 6 straps, you are ready to begin loading the bikes onto the StableCradles. The bikes are cradled snugly in place and prevented from swinging into the back of the car or into each other.  The SuperJoe Pro series fits a wide range of vehicles. These trunk bike racks are truly changing the way people think of this category. The very rugged construction and effortless installation and bike loading makes these bicycle carriers a great option for transporting bikes on a regular basis.

Yakima Racks has recently released the latest generation KingJoe series of trunk mount bike racks. Now called the 8002625 Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 bike trunk rack (holds three bicycles) and the 8002624 Yakima KingJoe 2 bike trunk rack (holds two bicycles), these premium models feature the latest generation, redesigned Yakima Racks proprietary QuickTrigger Hub System for the bike rack industry’s easiest ever rear strap rack installation to the complete spectrum of car models including SUV’s, minivans, wagon hatchbacks, coupes and of course regular sedans with classic rear trunks. The Yakima King Joe Pro 3 and Yakima King Joe Pro 2 are even compatible with many cars that have rear spoilers. 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.
