Thule 927 VeloCompact towbar mount rack
Holding up to four bikes, thule’s new 927 velocompact towball mount rack is packed with features :
It may come at a premium, but if you own a tow ball and want to carry up to four bikes, you should find years of use in the VeloCompact. Supporting each bike’s weight by the wheels, this rack is well suited to carrying a wide variety of rides, including the most delicate carbon models.
Grabbing the towball with locking jaws that are likely props from Alien vs Predator, the new VeloCompact locks onto a towball unlike anything we’ve seen before. From here, it’ll carry up to 60kg total without flinching.
