Built For Adventure
The Thule UpRide is engineered to transport modern bicycles safely and securely without touching the frame.
The upright wheel retention system uses a secure hook and wheel strap combination that keeps bikes stable during transport while eliminating pressure on the frame. This makes it ideal for carbon road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and bikes with unique frame geometries.
Whether you're carrying a high-end race bike or a rugged trail bike, the UpRide delivers reliable transport with peace of mind.
Why You'll Need It
Many premium bicycles have frame designs that are difficult to secure using traditional bike racks.
The UpRide solves this problem by supporting the bike solely by the wheels, allowing riders to transport expensive bikes without worrying about frame damage, paint wear, or compatibility issues.
It's one of the most versatile roof-mounted bike carriers available for modern cyclists.
