The Thule UpRide meets all the expectations of cyclists who want to handle their bikes with extra care, quickly and easily. The product offers excellent protection for your bike frame, is suitable for almost all types of bicycles, can be loaded with ease, and is secure. The front wheel does not need to be removed. The Thule UpRide provides your bike with secure support simply by securing the front wheel. A wheel tie-down strap secures the rear wheel to the rail. Since no part of the bike carrier comes into contact with the frame, the Thule UpRide is ideal for bikes with carbon frames or other delicate frames, mountain bikes, and other bicycle types. Thanks to its versatile design, the carrier accommodates bikes of almost all designs and sizes regardless of frame construction, braking system, suspension, or wheel size. The Thule UpRide is suitable for bikes from 20 to 29 inches with a wheelbase of up to 1,240 mm and tires up to 3 inches wide (with a special adapter even up to 5 inches) and a weight of up to 20 kg. Mounting the Thule UpRide on your vehicle is quick, easy, and secure, on both sides of the vehicle roof. Since all loading operations take place at roof level, the bike carrier can be conveniently used on any vehicle for cyclists of all sizes. For theft protection, the bike carrier can be secured to the vehicle and the bike can be locked to the carrier with an integrated cable lock. The Thule UpRide was thoroughly tested in the Thule Test Center, undergoing numerous crash tests and wear simulations, as well as being exposed to extreme heat, cold, moisture, sunlight, and even aggressive chemicals. The product was also tested under real-world conditions. This ensures that your bike carrier has been developed and tested with safety as the top priority.
