Thule, the global leader in premium bike racks, has launched the Thule EasyFold 3, the highly anticipated successor to the acclaimed Thule EasyFold XT with new features to make multi-bike transport simpler.
Paid partnership with Thule South Africa
No more puzzling with claw-style clamps. The new design features an adjustable bike arm with a strap and pivoting head, ensuring a secure fit for bike frames from 20mm to 90mm in diameter. This design accommodates a wide range of bicycles, from kids bikes right up to big-suspension travel gravity bikes and eBikes up to 30kg in weight.
“The Thule EasyFold 3 is another example of Thule’s constant innovation. It’s predecessor, the EasyFold XT, has been a popular seller in South Africa in recent years. But Thule’s commitment to excellence and innovation sees refinement and improvement of that design, which makes the EasyFold 3 an even more suitable transport companion for South Africans, most of whom must drive to ride safely at a local mountain bike trails park,” said Jamie Owen of SA Sport & Cargo, distributors of Thule in South Africa.
Revolutionary bike arm
The click-in/click-out bike arm makes it easy and quick to load bikes, while the pivoting head with soft padding protects your bike during the journey. The sturdy, reinforced strap gives you the peace of mind that your bike is securely fastened, no matter the frame size.
One-handed operation
The new click-in/click-out bike arm can be operated with one hand, which reduces loading time and virtually eliminates bike-mounting stress.
Bring more bikes with the Thule foldable bike add-on
Need to bring more bikes? No problem! Thule EasyFold 3 easily converts from a 2-bike to a 3-bike or a 3-bike to a 4-bike carrier with an additional adapter. Its versatile design is perfect for a variety of bike styles, from the smallest kid’s bikes to larger mountain bikes, making it ideal for family outings or group rides.
New design and new lights
Thule EasyFold 3 combines functionality with modern aesthetics. Its sleek design complements any vehicle style, and the integrated lamps ensure you stay visible and safe on the road. There’s also a number-plate mount to ensure road law compliance.
Easy to fit, remove and store
The EasyFold 3 is fully foldable, which makes it easy to carry, attached and remove from your vehicle. Once folded, it’s easy to store in your boot or garage.
Quick mounting and boot access
The EasyFold 3 has a self-stabilising coupling, which makes it easy for one person to mount. Like its predecessor, it has the smart foot pedal tilt feature, which gives you access to the boot without having to remove the rack or bikes.
Thule EasyFold rack is now available in South Africa from Thule stockists. The EasyFold 3 is R27 999 and the EasyFold 2 is R24 999.
