According to the product specialist
Pros
| The Amber II bike carrier is easy to mount. |
| Thanks to the tilting mechanism you can still reach the tailgate after mounting the carrier. |
| Bikes are easy to place onto the carrier. |
| The SlideLock system ensures that the box is properly closed and automatically locked. |
| The cargo box offers a generous 260 litre volume, allowing you to store a lot of luggage without burdening the roof of your car. |
| Two sturdy wheels and an ergonomic handle make transporting the box extremely comfortable. |
| Thanks to the tilt function of the car bike rack, the trunk always remains accessible, even when the box is mounted. |
| If used with the Thule Epos 3 or Thule Easyfold 3 bike carrier, the Santu also allows for placement of an additional bike. |
| An improved securing mechanism makes fitting the carrier to your tow bar easy and safe. |
| Bicycles on the carrier are protected against theft, which is reassuring when going for a break. |
| The collapsible brace makes it possible to store the Thule Velocompact 927 in a very small space. |
| The Thule VeloCompact 927 bike carrier is fitted with theft protection. |
| If you select the 4th bike adapter, then the Thule Velocompact 927 is suitable to carry 4 bikes. |
Cons
| The rear fog light and reversing light only work with a 13-pin plug connector. |
| Not suitable for e-bikes. |
| Weighing 14.2 kg, the box is relatively heavy to lift for a single person. |
| Please note: Only compatible with Thule EasyFold 3, Thule Epos (both Epos 2 and Epos 3), and Thule EasyFold XT (both XT 2 and XT 3; both require an adapter) bike racks. |
| This bike carrier has a 7-pin connector, meaning you might need an adapter in some cases. |
