The UpRide wheel-mount bike rack lets you transport 1 bike of nearly any size or frame style on your roof rack crossbars. The adjustable hook and cage make it easy to load your bike without removing your front wheel. It makes no contact with your bike's frame so it's perfect for carbon frame bikes. The rear-wheel cradle slides along the tray to accommodate your bike's wheelbase. And you can add One-Key System locks to the integrated cable and front mounting lever to secure your bike to the rack and the rack to your vehicle.
Quick and Easy Loading
The UpRide lets you quickly and easily load your bike. The wheel hook has 5 settings to accommodate common tire sizes. To set the hook for your wheel simply pull the knob and slide it to your desired setting. Set your bike's front wheel in the cradle and roll it up against the hook. The hook holds your bike upright so your hands are free to finish the loading process.
With the hook holding your wheel in place you can raise the wheel cage up and ratchet it against your tire until it's snug. The wheel cage puts downward pressure on the wheel as it sits in the cradle to ensure that your bike does not shift during transport. The hook, the wheel cage, and the cradle make no contact with your bike frame so it's the rack perfect for carbon frame bikes.
The hook and wheel cage have release buttons so you can fold them down when you're not transporting your bike. This increases overhead clearance and allows the rack to remain installed when you are parking in a garage or other low-clearance area.
Sliding Rear-Wheel Cradle
The rear-wheel cradle slides along the wheel tray to accommodate bikes of different lengths. It has a ratcheting strap that secures diagonally across the bike wheel. This creates more surface contact with the rim and improves stability when compared with standard cradle straps. To undo the strap simply press the quick-release button. You can also use an adapter (sold separately) to transport your fat bike.
Easy Installation
The rack mounts to your crossbars with included T-rack hardware or clamps - no tools required. To install the rack using the T-tracks, just insert the short T-bolts into the bottom of the rack, slide the T-bolts into the channels on your crossbars, and tighten them down using the cam-action levers.
You can also clamp the rack around your crossbars. Simply set the rack on your crossbars, slide the long T-bolts into the open ends of the mounting brackets, and tighten down the cam-action levers.
Optional Locks
You can add One-Key System lock cylinders (sold separately) to the integrated cable in the tray and to the front mounting assembly to secure your bike to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. These lock cores can be swapped out to make all your Thule accessories keyed alike.
To lock your bike to the rack with a cylinder installed simply slide the cable out, wrap it through your bike frame, and insert the cable tip into the lock hub.

Very easy to use (once you do it a couple of times). I have ebikes and they handled the weight (48lbs each). The biggest issue I have with this racking system is wishing there was a left and right models of it...unless I didn't see one when ordering.
by: Alan05/22/2019
Basically, bolt it to your rack and you're ready to go. Easy to use once you do it a few times. My only complaint is for $200 they could throw in a lock core. Also, this etrailer response is incorrect, it is actually pretty simple to swap the operation of the rack to work on the driver's side (without having your bike face the wrong direction). Two plastic locks hold the main assembly together, unlock, take the hook out and put in the other way. The loop thing at the front is held in by one allen bolt on the bottom; take it out, swap the direction. Finally, the rear tire strap slides out the back; reverse it and slide it on. It takes longer to put the carrier on /off your rack than to swap the direction (not more than 10 minutes).
by: Matthew 08/10/2023
It's a bit more complex than my older Thule rack that clamps to the bikes frame. It does mount securely and holds the bike fine. The security cable for locking your bike is a literal joke, the lock body is plastic, and the cable is so thin you can cut it with hand held wire cutters. Took a bit of time to flip the components to use on the driver's side of the car, but it was not hard to do. Doesn't cause as much wind noise as I anticipated fortunately. Unpleasantly learned it is incompatible with fenders, so I have to remove mine when using this rack. I'll probably sell the rack and get something different down the road.
by: Timothy 03/02/2023
These bike racks are the absolute best! The quality is amazing; the simplicity is second to none. I would highly recommend this rack.
by: Sheepman07/25/2022
The Thule parts are well made. Everything fit together perfectly. The only drawback is the cost and all of the extras that you have to get to install the rack system.
etrailer folks were perfect and supplied a list of extras that I would need to finish the installation. I have purchased items from them in the past and will continue to buy in the future.
by: Robert 05/04/2020
Had this for two years now. It's okay. The best part about it: it fit my RHINO rack perfectly, and the install was simple considering it's a separate brand. It rests fairly quietly. I don't like the design that much, however, it is built for multiple sized wheels and bikes.
it rocks back and forth with a bike a bit too much, however, that again my be by design b/c of wind while you're on the freeway. Pretty easy to mount and dismount, especially if you're tall.
by: Ivan O. Miami02/12/2022
The rack keeps my bike safe and I drive at 80mph without noise, very easy to install and easy to place the bike

- Crossbars and Towers Compatible With Rhino-Rack RTC Roof Tracks on No Boundaries TrailerWe have everything you need to complete the roof rack set up on your Forest River No Boundaries travel trailer, which according to my research has the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RRRTV148. Like you mentioned, all you need are the towers and crossbars: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - 71" Long # RRVA180B-2 - Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600 This will give you a complete roof rack on your No Boundaries trailer...

view full answer... - Can I Mount the Thule UpRide Bike Rack Backward on My Truck Bed Crossbars? I confirmed with my contact at Thule that even though they recommend the bike to be mounted on the Thule UpRide # TH599000 with the front wheel pointing toward the front of the truck, he said that your bike will be secure on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 if the UpRide is mounted backwards.
view full answer... - Recommended Quiet Roof Rack for 2009 Honda CR-V For your 2009 Honda CR-V, I recommend taking a look at the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack # RRRVP15. This system will attach to the fixed mounting points on your CR-V and will provide a really sleek, OEM look with its flush design. The crossbars themselves feature a low-profile, aerodynamic shape that will be extremely quiet during travel but are plenty sturdy enough to have a 165 pound weight capacity. I have attached a short video demonstration on this system that you can check out as well. With...
view full answer... - How Can I Carry 50lb Ebikes On The Roof Of My CarYour ebikes weight is one of the limiting factors in carrying them on the roof of your vehicle. The Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount, part # Y02098, has a weight limit of 40lbs. But if your roof rack has crossbars with a channel my recommendation would be the Inno Fork Lock Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Channel Mounted - Aluminum, part # INXA391. It is a fork mounted rack that attaches to the channel of your crossbars. It has a weight limit of 50lbs and locks your...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying 4 Adult BikesIt sounds like you have the older Thule Vertex or Apex swing bike rack that had the cradles spaced closer together. The Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT is an upgraded version that has an increased spacing of 7" for the cradles. While this does help to make loading bikes easier, if you're trying to load up 4 adult bikes you will still have a bit of a time loading them up. I recommend using a platform bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HR4000 which can hold 35 lb bikes and then...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2020 Genesis G70 with 2 Carbon Fiber BikesThe trunk mount bike rack options for a 2020 Genesis G70 are all hanging style racks and while these will technically get the job done, since you have carbon fiber bikes you want to avoid using a bike rack that will be in contact with your bike frames. Normally I would say go with a trailer hitch and a hitch mount bike rack because they are more cost-effective and easier to use, but there are no trailer hitches that fit your 2020 Genesis G70 so you'll want to go with a roof rack and a...
view full answer... - Can Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack be Used on Either Side of the VehicleYes! The front and back parts of the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 can be easily flipped so that the bike rack can be used on either side of the vehicle. This rack comes assembled aside from the T-Bolts or clamps (depending on what type of roof rack you have) and it is ready to go for the passenger side. I've actually flipped it a few times myself so I can verify personally that it isn't very difficult. If you jump to page 21 of the linked instructions you can see what this entails....
view full answer... - Using Thule Rack System and Stacker # TH830 to Equip 2010 Corolla for Carrying Two 10 Foot KayaksThule offers a good solution for carrying your kayaks on the roof of your Corolla. You will want to begin by checking your owners manual for the roof capacity of your vehicle, and make sure you do not exceed it. You would first need to attach a roof rack system to the roof of your Corolla. By combining Thule SquareBars, part # TH712200, The Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, # TH480R and the vehicle-specific fit kit, # THKIT1515 you would have a great rack system to carry your kayaks. The...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 BMW X6The Curt hitch # 13077 is a fit for your 2017 BMW X6 but it will require in Curt's words, "noticeable fascia trimming" so it may not be your best solution since your vehicle is leased. Since you do not want to trim or use a trunk rack a roof rack bike rack may be your only option. We have the Thule Roof rack part # TH7501-TH7502 that will fit your factory roof rack raised rails and then for a bike rack the Thule # TH599000 would allow you to keep your front wheel on.
view full answer... - How To Flip the Ratchet Arm On the Thule UpRide Roof Bike RackThe process to convert the ratcheting arm from one side to the other on the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack part # TH599000 is shown on page 22 of the owner's manual which I have attached for you. I know the lack of text makes things a bit harder but I will try to summarize for you. Essentially, you will need use a screwdriver to unlock the two locks on the bottom of the base and then flip the plate around to the other side. The above can then be repeated but in reverse to reinstall.

view full answer... - Can the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack be Used with Moonroof on 2012 BMW 535x GTThe Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points # RRRS296 is an excellent choice for your 2012 BMW 535x GT! I am not sure if it will interfere with your moonroof but I can say that from the bottom of the fit kit (where the base attaches to your vehicle) to the bottom of the crossbars measures about 4-1/4" so as long as your moonroof doesn't lift higher than that you can use your moonroof with the roof rack installed. The reason why roof rack manufacturers state not to use the...

You can add a roof rack like the Thule AeroBlade Edge # TH7503B-TH7503B (black) or # TH7503-TH7503 (silver). This is an aerodynamic roof rack that has a great look. It installs onto the rails of your Mercedes and can be locked using Thule's One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400. Then add a bike carrier like the Thule UpRide, part # TH599000. The UpRide...

You should be able to open up your rear hatch door without any problems, but you can take a quick measurement just to be sure. With your rear hatch open, measure 49-1/2 inches back (toward the rear of the vehicle) from the front edge of the front crossbar on your Enclave.

The Rhino-Rack 2 will attach to your Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbar system on your 2021 Ford F350 with the RetraxONE XR cover. It comes with a durable steel-tube construction that includes a black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. As far as a Thule...

Just measure their width and height. As long as the bars are not larger than 3-1/2-wide x 1-11/16-inches tall then the Trio # TR02 will fit fine. This rack can handle up to a 45-lb bike with tires up to 4-inches wide. For an easier installation process, you may want to consider a wheel-mounted bike rack style instead of the cumbersome fork-mount of the Trio. I recommend the Thule UpRide...

In addition, the wheel strap is longer on this UpRide for fat bikes. If you want to use one rack for two bikes, my solution would be to get the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum, part # TH599000, which will work with traditional sized wheels.

The shorter # TH859XT will not allow enough space for the bike carrier to fit in the basket and the crossbar spread is not adequate to span the gap. If you want the bike carrier to ride on bars above the basket for more stability, you would need to use a basket with a crossbar like the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82...

It looks like there hasn't been a hitch fit for the last few years either so chances are you won't be able to install a hitch unless you get one fabricated somewhere. With that being said, we do still have some ways that you can transport your mountain bike. The most cost-effective option is to use a trunk mount bike rack and for that I recommend the Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR...
