Product Information

Full details

The Thule Outpace 3Bike is a lightweight, foldable towball-mounted bike carrier designed for casual riders, families, and groups. Its key benefit is offering reliable, stable bike transport for up to three bikes in a compact and easy-to-store package. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for occasional use rather than demanding, frequent travel. It features adjustable arms for diverse bike compatibility and smart tilt functions for convenient access.

FAQs

What is the maximum number of bikes the Thule Outpace can carry?

The Thule Outpace 3Bike carrier is designed to securely transport up to three bicycles.

How much does the Thule Outpace 3Bike weigh?

The carrier weighs approximately 18.6 kg, making it relatively lightweight for its capacity.

Can I carry electric bikes on this rack?

The carrier is designed for standard bike frames. E-bikes often exceed weight limits and frame designs may not be compatible with the pivoting arms. Please check the specific weight capacity and frame compatibility for your e-bikes.

What are the folded dimensions of the rack?

When folded, the dimensions are 94 × 76 × 24 cm, designed for easier storage.

How do I access my car's boot with bikes loaded?

The carrier features a 'Tilt-down' function that allows you to lower the rack, providing access to your car's boot even with bikes mounted.

What type of electrical connection does it require?

The Thule Outpace 3Bike requires a 13-pin electrical connector for its integrated tail lamps and signaling.

Is this rack suitable for all types of bike frames?

The adjustable pivoting arms are designed to fit a wide range of frame sizes (20 mm to 90 mm), including standard kids', mountain, and road bikes. Very non-standard frames may require specific adapters not included.

Troubleshooting

Carrier is wobbly on the towball

Ensure the towball is clean and free of debris. Tighten the mounting mechanism firmly according to the instructions. Check for any damage to the towball or the carrier's mounting hardware.

Bikes are not held securely

Verify that the pivoting arms are correctly positioned and tightened around the bike frames. Ensure the frame size is within the compatible range (20 mm to 90 mm). Check that the arms are not obstructed by cables or accessories.

Rear lights on the carrier are not working

Check the 13-pin electrical connection between the carrier and the vehicle. Ensure it is fully inserted and clean. Test the vehicle's trailer light fuse and bulbs. Consult your vehicle's manual for specific trailer wiring information.

Carrier is difficult to tilt

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the tilt mechanism from moving freely. Check that the bikes are loaded symmetrically and that their weight distribution is not causing undue stress on the tilt joint. Lightly lubricate the tilt pivot if necessary.
