Rock Solid, Easy-to-Use Design
The Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier is designed for ease of use and dependable stability on a budget. The Big Mouth fits all Thule rack systems, as well as other round bars, is compatible with the Thule Aero profile with an additional adapter (sold separately) and most bikes with disc brakes. The key factors in the stability that the Big Mouth provides is the combination of its sturdy wheel tray which holds your bike wheels, the two cinchable wheel straps that quickly secure the wheels to the tray and most importantly the center support's jaw like grip on your bike's central frame.
Stabilizing of the center support and adjusting of the Big Mouth's jaws are controlled by a simple combination of moving the release handle to the closed position and pulling down the slider. As pressure is applied to the frame tube the jaws adjust automatically to just the right amount of pressure for optimal holding power. Both the release handle and slider are located on a single leg of the center support of the Big Mouth making one-handed locking functionality possible, while the other hand balances the bike on the wheel tray.

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.
