Your cart is empty.The Thule ProRide XT is a universal upright bike rack for quick, convenient, and secure mounting. This rooftop bike rack gives a clear sign of proper mounting thanks to the torque limiter dial while tightening the soft claw pads. The smartly designed wheel holders with diagonal straps provide added stability while in transport. With a simple tool free interface you can switch carrier from one side of the vehicle to the other. This top of car bike carrier mounts to all Thule rack systems and most factory racks and can hold bikes up to 44 lbs.

Let me be clear - the product itself is great so far. Easy enough to assemble and install. Sturdy. Can’t wait to put it to use more.This review is for Amazon and its handling of the product/packaging. I ordered three of these bike racks and each factory box was more torn apart, broken, and abused than the last. I had to return one bike rack because the box was torn open so badly that all of the mounting hardware fell out at some point in the handling/shipping process.The only realistic option was to organize a return of the product and order a full replacement, as Thule would charge per individual hardware piece for replacements. The replacement box was beat to hell upon arrival, but by some miracle the hardware was included. Thank god I could end the merry go round.

It has been in use for almost one year and looks brand new! I leave the rack on the top of my car in the Midwest, which is holding up well. The rack has been exposed to all seasons and shows very little wear. The rack holds my bike well, and I have no worries while driving. I just completed a drive from Indiana to Virginia with my bike and never had an issue. Highly recommend!

Installs perfectly on my 2009 Forester's factory crossbars. Although its max load capacity is rated at 44 lbs, with the Thule fat bike adapter (bought separately), it holds my 50+ lbs fat bike just fine.Since I don't ride as much as I would like to because of my hectic schedule, I plan on continuing to use this rack to carry my 50+ lbs fat bike.

Even going 100+ on highways my wheel doesn’t move compared to my friends cheaper rack. I prefer the rack on passenger side of vehicle for easy install of my bike on to that side. I’m short 5’-7 can toss my bike on to my golf with ease.

Got 3 of these racks to put on a Adarack frame for over the tonneau cover of my 2021 Chev Silverado. Works fantastic. The directions for the bike racks were a little confusing as it was only pictures and no words. By the time I assembled the 3rd rack I could do it blindfolded. Very secure rack especially with the extra locks. You need 2 locks per rack so plan ahead on that. If you buy a 4 pack of locks they will all be keyed the same. The rack is easy to use and I know the bikes are secure. The arm just clamps them down and they don't move. Love these racks.

Easy to install, easy to put/remove the bike out of it.

Even when tightened down all the way, this product allows the front wheel to wobble at a high frequency a couple inches left to right over 50 MPH. Casual use (minimal distances and infrequent use) may not make a big impact. (Note: this issue doesn't present itself with traditional road tires (25mm)) Cross country drives and/or daily use may wreck front when bearings, depending upon the bike, tire size, etc. Thule’s direct fork mount options might be a better choice for those uses. I’m average height and use this for an 18-lb gravel bike on a small SUV. On my Miata, I used a $50 trunk rack for four years several times per week with zero issues. If I needed a roof rack to carry a MTB or heavier bike on a higher SUV, this bike rack is terrible value for money, given the fiddly process for placing the bike on the roof and the propensity for wheel wobble to chew up bearings at high speeds. This rack is good for a very specific use case and while a cheap trunk or lift gate rack might present inconvenient access to cargo with bikes on the rack, it’s substantially better value for money than this.

I'm a long-time Thule user and I've had multiple roof and rear-hitch racks over the years. This holder was very easy to install on my new Audi Q5 factory rack BUT it's pretty much impossible for me to install even a light bike into the holder without an external step. I'm 5'10" and there's no way to articulate all the moving parts when standing on the ground next to my car. Hence, I need to carry a step with me in order to place a bike into a holder. If I had a sedan or smaller hatchback, none of this would probably be an issue but on my Q5, I can't put a bike up into the holder without some elevation under foot.

Pretty decent overall. The instructions were not exceptionally clear, but the rack was easy to install once I got everything lined up on roof-rack crossbars. I did install 2 Thule locks (sold separately)…and I agree with other reviewers - these items should be included as “standard equipment” with the rack. The wheel cradles were easy to move and adjust (be careful though - it is possible to push the end cap off and slide the wheel cradle completely off of the rail). This rack worked very well for carry children’s BMX-style bikes…closely spaced top frame tubes and down tubes can make it challenging to get the rack’s frame locking arm positioned correctly. Easy to use. I’d purchase this rack again, as well as recommend it to others.

Used this a few months ago on a camping trip. Getting it positioned on my rack rails was a bit of a pain, but not terrible. It held the bike nice and tight, but everything seemed a bit wobbly from the rack rails up. However, we made the trip there and back with no problems, so I'd buy it again.
