THULE Tow bar bike carrier bike roof racks roof UpRide THU 599

Thule 599 UpRide is a universal, vertical bike rack allowing mounting a bike without contacting its frame. This solution ensures maximum frame protection and is suitable for nearly all bike types. It has been load-and safety-tested. The grip safely secures a bike by gripping the front wheel, while the back wheel is secured by means of a strap. This way the rack does not contact the frame. Thule UpRide is an ideal solution for carrying bikes with carbon frames or other delicate components. The rack is suitable for nearly all bike types and sizes, irrespective of their frame type, braking system, suspension and wheel size. The rack is suitable for bikes of up 20 kg, with wheel sizes ranging from 20" to 29", wheelbase of up to 1240mm and tires of up to 3". If used with the THULE 59951 adapter, the rack is also suitable for carrying fatbikes with wheels of up to 5".

Thule UpRide

Universal upright bike rack without frame contact for quick and secure mounting with maximum frame protection

 

This roof rack does not touch the bike frame and is ideal for transporting carbon fiber bikes. The rack fits all types of bikes, from mountain bikes to fat bikes. The rack is easy to use, and secure loading does not require removing the bike's front wheel. Thule UpRide can be easily attached from either side of the vehicle's roof. Since loading occurs close to the roof level, this rack is easy and convenient to use on any vehicle for people of varying heights. To secure the equipment against theft, the bike rack can be attached to the car, and then the bike to the rack using an integrated cable lock.
