The Thule 973 Reviews
The Thule Backpac 973 is a very convenient, easy to mount bike carrier. I find this bike carrier perfect to use for sports utility vehicles and vans. It is usually mounted on the rear door, while still keeping the number plate and the lights at the rear very visible. It is very easy to remove the bike frame holders from the vehicle as desired. In addition, it is likewise easy to put back the frame holders after the bike has been put in place. This feature makes it very convenient to both load and unloads your bike. The rubber surface is used, to ensure that the frames of the bike would not sustain scratches or any other damage.
Thule BackPac 973’s Features:
- Designed for vans and estates
- Transports 2-bikes as standard
- A fitting kit is required to tailor the rack for different vehicles.
- The load capacity is 60kg and the bike carrier fits frames dimensions 22-80 mm
The Thule BackPac 973 is also a very flexible product. This bike carrier can hold any type of bike within an 80mm frame size. There are also fast releasing straps to make for easy loading and unloading. These straps can be adjusted for different types of wheels. The product is compatible with One Key System. The One Key System is an accessory where the locking cylinders can be replaced and is compatible with all other Thule products. However, this accessory is ordered separately from the product.
To ensure the utmost accuracy, this bike rack uses a specialized specific mounting kit. A very stable hold for any kind of car results from this mounting kit. For the basic version of the product, it can fit up to two bikes. However, you have the option of fitting up to 4 bikes when needed, through the use of adapters. The adapters are optional enhancements of the product.
A superior lock mechanism is used in this model. For easy storage, the bike carrier can be folded up. I bought this product to get a nice carrier that will not hinder an easy view of the nameplate of the vehicle. Purchasing this product is a very viable alternative than choosing to install tow bars in your vehicle. The product has superior packaging. All of the necessary adapters are packaged in a separate box.
The assembly of the Thule BackPac973 is very straightforward. Even those without experience in assembling bike carriers can easily follow the instructions provided. When assembling the product, all you have to know is how to fit poles into the necessary holes. The instructions in fitting the bike into the carrier are also easy to understand. However, it would be best to adjust for a few inches when you really want to have a clear nameplate behind, just in case. The height of the fitting must be adjusted where it is easy to unload and reload.
The bike carrier fits any kind of driving. The product remains stable even when driving at a high speed. The Thule BackPac 973 is well adjusted to wind resistance. The accessories are very handy and are recommended. The lock of the frame is very neat and is very durable when used properly. The tubes used in the bike carrier are all coated with powder. It is very resistant to rust and scratches. The product is made from high-quality aluminum, steel, and hard plastic.
