The Thule UpRide meets all the expectations of cyclists who want to take special care of their bike quickly and easily. The product offers excellent protection for your bike frame, is suitable for nearly all types of bicycles, can be loaded effortlessly, and is secure. The front wheel does not need to be removed. The Thule UpRide provides secure support for your bike simply by fixing the front wheel. A wheel strap secures the rear wheel to the rail.

With its versatile design, the carrier accommodates bikes of almost all shapes and sizes, regardless of frame construction, braking system, suspension, or wheel size. The Thule UpRide is suitable for bikes ranging from 20 to 29 inches with a wheelbase of up to 1,240 mm and tires up to 3 inches wide (up to 5 inches with a special adapter) and a weight capacity of up to 20 kg. Installing the Thule UpRide on your vehicle is quick, easy, and secure, on both sides of the vehicle roof. Since all loading operations are performed at roof level, the bike carrier can be conveniently used on any vehicle for cyclists of all sizes. To protect against theft, the bike carrier can be secured to the vehicle and the bike can be locked with an integrated cable lock on the bike carrier.
