The Thule AcuTight Knob is an intelligent replacement tightening handle designed for Thule rear-mounted and towbar bike carriers. Featuring a built-in torque limiter, it takes the guesswork out of loading your bicycle by emitting an audible "click" once the optimal clamping force has been reached. This controlled tension prevents both under-tightening, which can lead to loose bikes during transit, and over-tightening, which can crush or fracture delicate bike frames, making it an essential upgrade, particularly for carbon-framed bicycles.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Integrated Torque Limiter: Audibly clicks when the precise mounting pressure is achieved, ensuring absolute security without risking frame damage.
Prevents Frame Damage: Ideal for protecting vulnerable materials like carbon fibre, aluminium, and specialised lightweight bicycle frames from excessive clamping pressure.
Ergonomic Soft-Grip Design: Constructed with comfortable, high-friction soft grips that allow for easy, strain-free turning.
Universal Rear Rack Compatibility: Engineered to replace the standard tightening knob on virtually all Thule rear-mounted and towbar bike carriers with frame holders.
Thule One Key System Ready: Features a slot compatible with Thule lock barrels, allowing you to secure your bike to the carrier, lock cylinder sold separately.
