Thule most affordable trunk rack for casual use
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
Thule's most affordable trunk rack — at 9.7 lbs with a simple strap-on design, it gets two bikes on your vehicle for the minimum investment. The 30 lb per-bike limit means only the lightest bikes, not carbon-safe, no locks. I sold these to people who were not sure if they would use a bike rack more than a few times a year. Start here if you want Thule brand reliability at a trunk-rack budget. Upgrade later once you know cycling is going to stick.
