The Thule Excellent Bike Rack - Short Frame is built for serious caravan and motorhome adventures, pairing rock‑solid rear‑wall attachment with flexible, bike‑friendly design. It’s the premium solution for transporting your bikes securely on the back of your caravan or motorhome, with fast, tool‑free mounting and enhanced protection for every ride.

Why this rack stands out

• Short frame, big capability. Specifically engineered for caravans and motorhomes with limited mounting space, the shorter fixation distance keeps installation tidy while preserving robust support for each bike. It’s ideal for tight rear spaces without compromising stability.
• Up to 60 kg total load. A total capacity of 60 kg (30 kg per rail) makes it suitable for a wide range of bikes, including many E‑bikes, so you don’t have to leave your gear behind.
• Secure, automatic protection during travel. The innovative platform locks automatically to prevent any bike movement while you’re on the road, giving you peace of mind on every mile.
• Ultra‑adjustable to fit almost any bike. The rails slide left/right and in/out, and the wheel holders are adjustable with pump buckles so you can accommodate mountain bikes, road bikes, kids’ bikes, and everything in between.
• Premium mounting hardware that’s easy to use. Detachable bike arms with lockable components and Thule AcuTight torque limiter knobs click when the optimum torque is reached, ensuring correct installation every time.
• Room for up to four bikes (option to extend). Built to extend up to four bikes, with the 3rd and 4th bike sets sold separately—perfect for family trips or weekend adventures without swapping racks.
• Secure, lockable platform and bike‑to‑rack locking. A lockable platform keeps bikes from jumping during transit, and the One Key System compatibility adds another layer of security against theft.

What you get in everyday use

• Stable, space‑savvy rear mounting. Designed for caravans and motorhomes, the rack aligns with the vehicle’s back wall to maintain balance and reduce sway on the move.
• Effortless bike mounting. The quick, tool‑free mounting system and adjustable wheel holders let you secure bikes in minutes, even when you’re on the go or loading after a long day of exploring.
• Versatile fit for diverse bikes. Whether you’re hauling a behemoth e‑bike or a lightweight kids’ bike, the adjustable rails and wheel cradles adapt to fit securely—and with minimal setup.
