Great Product

Works great and the quick detach works is a nice added feature to be able to easily take it off the roof rack. Would recommend for smaller SUVs or hatchbacks. Taller vehicles might have a difficult time putting their bike on.

Good Rack

I have had this rack system since 2009.At the time it was called the 598 Criterium Never had any issues with its operation.Carried a small step up stool to help with placement of the bike to the carrier. Converting to driver side configuration was no problem.Follow the directions and take your time. Traveled many kms with the bikes on top. You must lock the jaws after tightening to ensure they do not inadvertently release.

Easy To Load And Looms Great.

Love the look of my two Proride XT racks on my Volvo station wagon and easy To haul the Mountain Bikes out to all the local Northern Michigan trails. Easy to load and unload for. Both my wife and I.

Very Sturdy And Easy-to-use Bike Rack.

Very sturdy and easy-to-use bike rack. The locking system is efficient. It can be difficult to mount the bike when there are bottle cages or a frame bag attached, especially when reaching at arm's length. Finding a way to maintain the bike's balance while attaching the rack can be tricky... this could be a problem for shorter or less strong people. I recommend it for its reliability.

Love This! It's Great But ...

where can you buy the drivers side version? Your own photos show you can buy an inverted design to make it easier to access the key locks while installed on the driver's side of the vehicle (RHD). Can't find this anywhere in Canada! Also please sell a key lock kit with 12 locks? The more Thule pieces you have the more difficult the locks are to unify to one key.

Excellent Quality And Works Great.

I bought this upright bike carrier to replace my ancient 1990s era rack. I like the convenience of an upright but needed something that could easily carry my daughters modern bike with a wide down tube. This rack does the job perfectly.

Great

Great product as usual from Thule. Well built, easy to install and use.

As Advertise

As advertise, it is easy and quick to install your bike on it. I will say there is a learning curve on how to install the bike on it, at least in my case. I have 4 of these, installed on the "Thule Xsporter Pro Shift" on my F150, I need to climb a step stool, holding the bike with one hand and finally install the bike on the bike rack. After 2 times, I have develop my technics and it is now easy to do. Right after setting the frame in the catcher arm, it is stable and you only have to tighten it with the knob. Finally, you fix the wheels with the ractchet system and it is done. The product seems strong and durable. The weak point is clearly the ratchet system for the wheels, but I guess those can easily be replaced. I recommend this product!

Overall Very Easy

From assembly to installation of the bike rack to roof rack and also bike into the bike rack is very easy. Holds the bike to the roof very firm. Locks hold strong.

Good Rack, But Not For Modern Mtb.

I bought this rack with my new car and it worked great for the first couple of seasons. It was particularly good for my commuter bike and fatbike (after purchasing the fatbike adapter). However, there are two main flaws with this rack: 1. The rack is too short for modern slack MTBs. I ride a trail bike (Large frame) and the wheelbase absolutely maxes out the limits of this rack. If one were to want this for anything more slack like an enduro bike, you’d probably have to return it, especially if you ride L or XL frames. 2. Unrelated to the size limitation, both ratchet buckles broke after three seasons (summer seasons as I use the fatbike adapters in the winter). Because the frame is held firm by the clamp, you don’t need to tighten the wheels super tight, but just enough to make sure that the front wheel doesn’t wobble too much while driving highways speeds. You can see in the picture that the buckles are made entirely of plastic with no apparent reinforcement around the pin upon which it pivots. The design almost ensures eventual failure unless you’re just gently buckling the wheels - which is ok for the rear, but resonable pressure is needed to keep the front wheel from going too crazy when driving at speed. I did note that the front buckle failed before the rear, but the rear eventually broke not too long after. Aside from these issues, I'm generally satisfied with the rack. It is reasonably easy to use and is secure for bikes with steel or alloy frames. I’m not sure I would want to clamp a carbon frame so in that case an UpRide might be better.

Noise On My Glc300

The wind sound quite loud regardless where I put the rack on the vehicle

Still In The Box - Poor Instructions/user Guide

Was so happy for have bought this ‘on sale’ at a discounted price, yet now it seems like a costly purchase as it is still in the box and likely to stay there. The installations instructions are unclear, with the small cluttered diagrams far from being clear. Will probably give it away or try to sel online.

As Good As You Think!

I got this about a month ago and it's been great! It holds my bike nicely with minimal movement. Also quite easy to install. I ordered the key and lock set to go with it and what a great add on to keep it safe on top of my car and to lock my bike in durnibg the day.

Solid Product

Works great, fit great on an off brand rail system. The instructions could have been more descriptive, but they worked. Definitely quality. I recommend locks unless you plan to take it off all the time.

To Infinity And Beyond…

This is my second ProRide XT. Easily transports my wife’s hybrid and my gravel bike securely and safely. And the same key system keeps things simple.
