No Towbar? No Problem!

The compact and lightweight Thule OutWay is a Trunk/Boot/Hatch mounted hanging bike carrier that is as tough and functional as it is sleek and sophisticated. The dual lower hooks are directly attached to the bottom of the rack and the sturdy steel cables with rubber protection on all contact points ensure that the rack tightens securely to your car without damage. The intuitive fastening system and unique torque-limiting tightening system will have you confidently set-up and ready to go sooner and with soft, shock-absorbing bike cradles, strap covers, and anti-sway mechanisms your bikes are protected too.

The Thule OutWay won't fit every car. Be sure to check out the Thule Buyers Guide in the 'Links & More Info' tab above to see if your car is suitable.
