Specs:
The Thule ThruRide fork-mount bike rack lets you transport a bicycle with a thru-axle on your roof without an adapter. A wide-jaw clamp with a precision dial allows you to mount your bike with one hand and steady it with the other. A sliding cradle with a ratcheting strap accommodates most bike lengths and secures your rear wheel to the tray. And an included adapter allows you to carry a bike with 9-mm quick-release skewer.
The ThruRide holds your bike by the thru-axle. After removing the front wheel, just re-insert your bike's thru-axle into the fork and set the axle in the clamp while holding the bike steady with your free hand. Your bike's skewer rests in the clamp without the need for an adapter. Next, simply close the cam-action hood to secure the axle in the clamp. If the clamp's grip is too tight or to loose, use the precision dial to fine-tune the fit. You can add a One-Key System lock cylinder (TH512 - sold separately) to the hood to lock your bike to the rack.
An included adapter allows you to carry a bike with a 9-mm quick-release skewer. Just set the skewer in the clamp, then load your bike onto the skewer, and secure it with the cam-action hood.
You can upgrade the adapter to a locking 9-mm quick-release skewer (TH535SKR - sold separately) to secure your bike to the rack.
The ThruRide's rear-wheel cradle slides along the tray to accommodate bikes of varying lengths. The cradle's ratcheting strap secures your bike wheel to the tray, and a padded rim protector keeps the wheel from getting scratched or scuffed during transport.
The rack is easy to install with the included Quick Flip mounting brackets. Just set the rack on your crossbars, slide the T-bolts into the brackets, and then tighten the bolts so the brackets are snug against the bottom of your crossbar. The rear bolts tighten using hand knobs and the front bolts tighten by turning the cam levers. Once the front bolts are tight, close the cam levers to hold the brackets in place and secure the rack to your crossbars. The Quick Flip brackets fit any crossbar size or style. The tips of the bracket should face down when installing on thinner bars and face up for use on wider crossbars.
You can lock the rack to your crossbars by installing a One-Key System lock cylinder in the cam lever. The 2-pack lock system means the rack's hood lock and mounting hardware lock are keyed alike.
To install the front of the ThruRide directly into the top channels of your crossbars, attach 2 T-bolts in place of the brackets on the underside of the hood assembly. Then just slide the front of the rack into the top channel of your crossbars and secure it using the cam levers.
The rear mounting bracket tightens around your crossbar with hand knobs and 2 threaded bolts. The bracket has 1 open end and 1 closed end so you can install and remove the rack without completely removing the bracket. To secure it to your crossbar, slide the open end of the bracket onto the bolt and tighten the hand knobs.
The ThruRide's rustproof, lightweight aluminum wheel tray is D-shaped so it won't flex as much as standard, V-shaped trays. The D-shaped tray reduces stress on your bike frame during high winds and hard turns. The tray is also easier to clean with no dirt-collecting corners and crevices.

But despite being advertised on this site as compatible with Toyota RAV4 factory crossbars, it didn’t quite fit. Used some bolt cutters to shorten the back end bolts on the front attachment and it worked well enough to be secure. Other than that it’s a great carrier. 505883

Review from a similar ThruRide in Roof Bike Racks
We got 2 replacement skewers for our roof bike racks because ours had seized up. They work just as the old ones did. We are a little concerned that we’ve had to replace them multiple times for the same reason - but that’s a Thule issue, not etrailer. etrailer customer service was incredible. We got an actual person on the phone with minimal wait time. We needed to rush the shipping and they were able to do that for a reasonable price - the item arrived as promised. The agent was able to look up our previous order to make sure we were getting the right parts (which, at first we were not - and the correct part was actually less expensive). Also, the customer service agent gave us her name, extension, and email address of the customer if we had any issues - which we didn’t. This is the second time we’ve ordered from etrailer and I would absolutely recommend them! 688718
