Thule Santu Towbar-Mounted Cargo Carrier for Thule Bike Carriers with SlideLock

The Thule Santu Cargo Carrier is a premium towbar-mounted cargo solution designed to perfectly complement Thule’s top-tier bike carriers, including the Thule EasyFold 3, Thule EasyFold XT, and Thule Epos models. This hard-shell cargo box offers a versatile option for transporting your bikes, gear, or both simultaneously (with Thule Epos 3-bike carrier), all while keeping your rooftop free for additional luggage. Its aerodynamic low-profile design reduces wind resistance, ensuring a smoother and more fuel-efficient drive.

Loading and unloading your belongings is effortless thanks to the Thule Santu’s low-sitting position and ergonomic features. The cargo box is equipped with sturdy wheels and a convenient pull-handle, making it easy to roll the box to and from your vehicle. The tilt function of compatible bike carriers allows unhindered access to your vehicle’s boot, so you don’t have to remove the entire setup to reach your trunk.

Security and convenience are at the core of the Thule Santu’s design. Its patented SlideLock mechanism automatically locks the lid securely and visually confirms when the box is properly closed, giving you peace of mind during your travels. Inside, a padded bottom protects your belongings from rough surfaces, while an interior mesh pocket helps organize smaller items neatly. Additionally, the included carry case doubles as an accessory pouch, enhancing storage versatility.
