Thule 9041 T1 Single Bike Carrier

The Thule 9041 T1 is a platform style bike rack designed to carry a single bike. The T1 secures your bike onto the rack using Thule's frame-free ratcheting arm which clamps onto your front tire only. The back tire is then secured into placing using a ratcheting wheel strap.

Zero frame contact

The T1 holds your bike in place by using a Thule's frame-free ratcheting arm which secures onto your front tire and a rear wheel strap that secures your back tire in place. This type of attachment provides the utmost flexibility in the types of bikes you can carry, from heavy downhill mountain bikes to carbon fibre road bikes and everything in between. Small bikes can be carried as long as they have a minimum of 20 inch tires.

Fat bike compatible

The T1 has been outfitted with wider wheel trays and a larger ratcheting arm which gives you the ability to carry fat bikes with tires up to 5 inches wide right out of the box. The 9041 also includes a longer rear wheel strap which allows you to securely hold the back tire in place.

Fully locking

The T1 includes a Thule STL2 lock which is a threaded hitch pin that can be locked onto your hitch, this prevents someone from being able to remove your bike rack off of the hitch of your vehicle. Also in order to keep the bike itself locked onto the rack there is an integrated cable lock which pulls out from the top of the ratcheting arm locking through the frame of your bike to prevent someone from easily removing your bike.
