Specs:
The versatile, stylish Trio is built with a unique 3 Way fork mount that lets you carry 1 bike with a 9-mm quick-release skewer, a 15-mm thru-axle fork, or a 20-mm thru-axle fork on your vehicle's roof. The curved, aluminum wheel tray is sturdy yet lightweight, and it has a sliding rear-wheel strap that lets you carry bikes with different wheelbases. The Trio also includes universal mounting brackets and a built-in cable lock.
The Trio's 3 Way fork mount system lets you transport a bike with a 9-mm quick-release skewer, a 15-mm thru-axle fork, or a 20-mm thru-axle fork.
The rack includes a 9-mm quick-release skewer. To mount a bike using the skewer, simply open the chrome quick-release lever, drop your bike's fork onto the skewer, tighten the nut, and close the lever.
To carry a bike with a 15-mm thru-axle fork, remove the Trio's 9-mm quick-release skewer and insert your bike's existing thru-axle skewer through the chrome cylinder.
If your bike has a 20-mm thru-axle fork, simply remove the chrome cylinder and replace it with the included black cylinder. To remove the cylinder, loosen the bolt in the nose of the rack with the included Allen key. Then slide the black cylinder into place and re-tighten the bolt. If you have a fat bike with a 15-mm or 20-mm thru-axle skewer, you will need an adapter (sold separately) to mount your bike to the rack.
The Trio's sliding rear-wheel cradle lets you transport bikes with a wide variety of wheelbases. The cradle slides freely along grooves in the wheel tray - just move the cradle into position underneath your bike's rear tire and tighten the included ratcheting strap. Release buttons on both sides enable you to free the rear wheel of your bike no matter what side of the vehicle the rack is mounted on. You can also reverse the strap so it's easier to use - just remove it and re-insert it with the finger loop on the side of the wheel cradle closest to the edge of your vehicle.
The Trio's built-in cable lock deploys from the rear of the rack, threads through your bike frame and rear wheel, and locks back on itself. The 1/4" thick braided steel cable has a thick nylon coating to protect your frame and rear wheel from scratches and scuffs. The lock stores inside the wheel tray when not in use.
The Trio's easy-to-use mounting hardware is designed to work with most crossbars - square, round, aero, elliptical, or factory. The head of the rack mounts to your crossbars with 2 U-bolts and 4 hex-head safety nuts. The U-bolts wrap around your crossbars and slide into holes in the bottom of the rack head. To secure the U-bolts in place, insert the hex-head safety nuts into the holes in the top of the rack and tighten them over the threaded ends of the U-bolts with the included Allen key. The U-bolts are coated with rubberized nylon to prevent them from scratching and scuffing your crossbars.
To attach the rear mounting bracket, thread it onto the wheel-tray mounting bolts until it's snug against the bottom of your crossbar and tighten it in place with hand knobs. This rear mounting assembly can be adjusted along a track in the bottom of the wheel tray to accommodate different roof rack crossbar spreads. The mounting bracket is coated with a thick layer of rubberized nylon to help absorb road shock and minimize vibration, and it helps to protect your crossbar from scratches and scuffs.
