Ultimate Usability Along with Full Access to Your Hatchback
The Thule Revolver Hitch Bike Carrier is designed for frequent cyclists who ride in groups and/or families that have a 2-inch hitch receiver on their vehicle or are considering having one installed. This carrier can accommodate up to four bikes and features Thule's top-of-the-line T3 cradles that hold bikes in place for maximum frame protection overall stability. Working together with these cradles are the patented No-Sway Cage attachments that further secure bike frames to the unit's carrier arms along a vertical axis, drastically limiting the possibility of bike movement in transit that can cause damage to bikes and vehicles. The Thule Revolver also features an integrated lock cable for securing bikes to the carrier, carrier arms that fold down when not in use for ease of parking and most dramatically and most impressive of all, built-in swing arm functionality that allows unencumbered access to the rear of the vehicle.

This swing arm functionality is provided by way of a connection between the two segments of the units horizontal base which in turn connect to the hitch. When the Revolver is in the standard use position these two segments are automatically held together by a spring loaded joint, along with a lower locking handle and upper lock-up pin combination that snap closed on contact. When the upper lockup pin is lifted up a gentle push can separates the two segments and the Revolver easily swings to the side and can be held open with the tethered hold-open pin inserted into the pre-bored hole at the joint where the spring is hidden. This ease of movement of the swing arm is the same whether the carrier is empty or loaded, providing clear access to hatchbacks or other rear vehicle openings whenever it is needed. To return the swing arm to its standard position simply remove the hold-open pin. The arm will move back into position and will lock into place with a click of the lower locking handle and upper lockup pin.

About Thule
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
