Thule ProRide 598 Roof Bike Rack
The Thule ProRide 598 is a premium upright roof bike rack designed for fast, secure, and convenient bike transport.
Carryingbikes up to 20kg and makes loading simple thanks to its uniquely designed frame holder and wheel tray.
The bike automatically sits in position as you secure it, which makes loading easier and more stable from the start.
The torque limiter dial controls the force applied to the frame giving a clear signal when the bike is mounted correctly. This helps reduce the risk of over-tightening.
Large, soft claw pads spread pressure across the frame tubes to help minimise the risk of frame damage.
The extended lower jaw also helps prevent the bike from falling during mounting, giving you better control while securing the bike on the roof.
The wheel holders and diagonal quick-release wheel straps keep the wheels firmly in place and help reduce movement during transport.
The carrier can also be switched from one side of the car to the other without tools, making it easier to fit your preferred loading setup.
The Thule ProRide 598 is pre-assembled and locks both the bike to the rack and the rack to the roof bars, with locks included.
It fits a wide range of Thule roof bar systems and supports round frame sizes from 22–80mm, maximum oval frame sizes up to 80x100mm, tyre widths up to 3”, wheel sizes from 16–29”, and wheelbases up to 1235mm.
Carbon frames are compatible when used with the Thule Carbon Frame Protector.
