Upcoming cycling race?

Here are our top 5 cycling essentials to get you to the finish

Between road, mountain and gravel cycle racing – and not discounting triathlons, of course – there is a cycle race happening just about every weekend. Thule has a range of accessories and cycling essentials to help with every aspect of your cycling. Here are our top picks that you need for training and the big day, no matter which part of the country your race is in.

Hydration Backpacks

The key to a great race is staying well hydrated. Whether it’s a road or mountain race a hydration backpack is essential, especially if it’s going to be a long race. Choose a lightweight hydration backpack that offers maximum comfort and ease of use during cycling. The Thule Vital collection of lightweight hydration backpacks features smart solutions such as a hands-free ReTrakt magnetic hose return system and convenient jersey-style pockets for quick access to nutrition, clothing or tools without having to remove the pack.

Bike Carriers and Racks

With a car bike rack, you can take your bike anywhere you want – quickly, easily and safely. The new and improved Thule Euroway G2 3 Bike Carrieris compact and lightweight and ideal for everyday use (for 3 bikes). It’s easy to mount and adjust, thanks to the detachable bike arms and folds flat easily for simple storage. It also fits into most car boots, even when bikes are mounted. There are pump buckles with long wheel straps for easy fastening of wheels and you can lock the carrier (and the bikes into position) on the toolbar, as locks are included too.

Bike Travel Cases

When you’re travelling from race to race a dependable bike travel case means you can also travel with peace of mind. With a choice of hard or soft cases, you and your bike can arrive at your destination ready to go. Look for rugged protection on the outside and smart, secure storage on the inside and look out for cases that have rollers for easy handling and navigation when you’re on the go. Thule’s sleek and durable bike travel cases are designed, built and tested to withstand the stress and strain of modern travel.

Smartphone Bike Mount

Get access to apps, navigation, music and more by mounting a smartphone to your bicycle handlebars. Ensure your phone is kept safe and that there is easy access to all ports and controls.

Thule Pack ‘n Pedal Action Cam Mount

Now you can capture the memories on your next race with the Thule Pack ‘n Pedal Action Cam Mount that securely fits your action camera to your handlebar.This mount works best with GoPro® but will work with virtually any action camera. Best of all, the multiple handlebar mounting positions offer unobstructed recording while riding.

A Good Backpack!

Even if you’re not sure where the road’s going to lead you, you’ll need a quality backpack to get there. Ensure all your gear and valuables are safe and remember to try on a variety of options to find your perfect match. The new Thule Enroute BackPack includes the innovative SafeZone with rigid exterior and soft interior, that protects your phone, sunglasses and other valuables. You have quick access to smaller items through a zipped interior front pocket – ideal for your keys and cell phone, or your boarding pass at the airport.
