If you're searching for a simple, durable, and easy to use bike carrier that won't break the bank, the Thule HangOn is a great option. This model even has a tilt function that can be used without the bikes loaded.
Featuring Thule's famous build quality at a very good price, although its list of features isn't as long as others, it's well thought out and ultra durable. Perfect for those who don't have electric bikes and just want a no-nonsense bike carrier that is also lightweight.
Although this is a basic carrier it is tested as thoroughly as all of Thule's bike carriers to ensure safety and durability.
Your bikes hang from the arms of the carrier and are secured via frame buckles and a strap.
Thule’s smart coupling makes this carrier very easy to fit and remove with the supplied tool, with no need for major adjustments before installation.
The cradles are made from high quality rubber to protect your bike’s frame and it comes with an additional strap to secure bikes. The end caps have reflectors for added safety and the unit folds flat for storage.
We strongly recommend the use of the Thule Lightboard 976 with this product to ensure safety and legal compliance.
Locks are not included with this carrier, however it can be locked to your towball with the use of the Thule Lock 957, sold separately.
This model will not accommodate all bicycle frame types, if you have a step through or some other unusual frame types you may need the Thule frame adaptor to use this carrier with your bike. Please check your towbar rating and local state laws before using this carrier.
