The UpRide wheel-mount bike rack lets you transport 1 bike of nearly any size or frame style on your roof rack crossbars. The adjustable hook and cage make it easy to load your bike without removing your front wheel. It makes no contact with your bike's frame so it's perfect for carbon frame bikes. The rear-wheel cradle slides along the tray to accommodate your bike's wheelbase. And you can add One-Key System locks to the integrated cable and front mounting lever to secure your bike to the rack and the rack to your vehicle.
Quick and Easy Loading
The UpRide lets you quickly and easily load your bike. The wheel hook has 5 settings to accommodate common tire sizes. To set the hook for your wheel simply pull the knob and slide it to your desired setting. Set your bike's front wheel in the cradle and roll it up against the hook. The hook holds your bike upright so your hands are free to finish the loading process.
With the hook holding your wheel in place you can raise the wheel cage up and ratchet it against your tire until it's snug. The wheel cage puts downward pressure on the wheel as it sits in the cradle to ensure that your bike does not shift during transport. The hook, the wheel cage, and the cradle make no contact with your bike frame so it's the rack perfect for carbon frame bikes.
The hook and wheel cage have release buttons so you can fold them down when you're not transporting your bike. This increases overhead clearance and allows the rack to remain installed when you are parking in a garage or other low-clearance area.
Sliding Rear-Wheel Cradle
The rear-wheel cradle slides along the wheel tray to accommodate bikes of different lengths. It has a ratcheting strap that secures diagonally across the bike wheel. This creates more surface contact with the rim and improves stability when compared with standard cradle straps. To undo the strap simply press the quick-release button. You can also use an adapter (sold separately) to transport your fat bike.
Easy Installation
The rack mounts to your crossbars with included T-rack hardware or clamps - no tools required. To install the rack using the T-tracks, just insert the short T-bolts into the bottom of the rack, slide the T-bolts into the channels on your crossbars, and tighten them down using the cam-action levers.
You can also clamp the rack around your crossbars. Simply set the rack on your crossbars, slide the long T-bolts into the open ends of the mounting brackets, and tighten down the cam-action levers.
Optional Locks
You can add One-Key System lock cylinders (sold separately) to the integrated cable in the tray and to the front mounting assembly to secure your bike to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. These lock cores can be swapped out to make all your Thule accessories keyed alike.
To lock your bike to the rack with a cylinder installed simply slide the cable out, wrap it through your bike frame, and insert the cable tip into the lock hub.

Very easy to use (once you do it a couple of times). I have ebikes and they handled the weight (48lbs each). The biggest issue I have with this racking system is wishing there was a left and right models of it...unless I didn't see one when ordering.
by: Matthew 08/10/2023
It's a bit more complex than my older Thule rack that clamps to the bikes frame. It does mount securely and holds the bike fine. The security cable for locking your bike is a literal joke, the lock body is plastic, and the cable is so thin you can cut it with hand held wire cutters. Took a bit of time to flip the components to use on the driver's side of the car, but it was not hard to do. Doesn't cause as much wind noise as I anticipated fortunately. Unpleasantly learned it is incompatible with fenders, so I have to remove mine when using this rack. I'll probably sell the rack and get something different down the road.
by: Alan05/22/2019
Basically, bolt it to your rack and you're ready to go. Easy to use once you do it a few times. My only complaint is for $200 they could throw in a lock core. Also, this etrailer response is incorrect, it is actually pretty simple to swap the operation of the rack to work on the driver's side (without having your bike face the wrong direction). Two plastic locks hold the main assembly together, unlock, take the hook out and put in the other way. The loop thing at the front is held in by one allen bolt on the bottom; take it out, swap the direction. Finally, the rear tire strap slides out the back; reverse it and slide it on. It takes longer to put the carrier on /off your rack than to swap the direction (not more than 10 minutes).

These bike racks are the absolute best! The quality is amazing; the simplicity is second to none. I would highly recommend this rack.
by: Sheepman07/25/2022
The Thule parts are well made. Everything fit together perfectly. The only drawback is the cost and all of the extras that you have to get to install the rack system.
etrailer folks were perfect and supplied a list of extras that I would need to finish the installation. I have purchased items from them in the past and will continue to buy in the future.

Ship time took a little longer than expected. Item boxes arrived damaged but prouduct was in good shape.

The rack keeps my bike safe and I drive at 80mph without noise, very easy to install and easy to place the bike
by: Robert 05/04/2020
Had this for two years now. It's okay. The best part about it: it fit my RHINO rack perfectly, and the install was simple considering it's a separate brand. It rests fairly quietly. I don't like the design that much, however, it is built for multiple sized wheels and bikes.
it rocks back and forth with a bike a bit too much, however, that again my be by design b/c of wind while you're on the freeway. Pretty easy to mount and dismount, especially if you're tall.
by: Thomas 10/07/2020

I like the way this bike rack works and secures the bike. etrailer was fast to ship and everything arrived on time. I like their personal emails that update the status of purchases.

- How To Flip the Ratchet Arm On the Thule UpRide Roof Bike RackThe process to convert the ratcheting arm from one side to the other on the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack part # TH599000 is shown on page 22 of the owner's manual which I have attached for you. I know the lack of text makes things a bit harder but I will try to summarize for you. Essentially, you will need use a screwdriver to unlock the two locks on the bottom of the base and then flip the plate around to the other side. The above can then be repeated but in reverse to reinstall.

I am happy to report that the Thule UpRide, # TH599000, is a fit for the factory crossbars on your 2012 Subaru Outback. This rack is unique in that it holds the front bike tire in front of and behind the front fork making it very stable. I think you are going to love this rack.

The front and back parts of the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 can be easily flipped so that the bike rack can be used on either side of the vehicle. This rack comes assembled aside from the T-Bolts or clamps (depending on what type of roof rack you have) and it is ready to go for the passenger side. I've actually flipped it a few times myself so I can verify personally that it isn't very difficult. If you jump to page 21 of the linked instructions you can see what this entails....
view full answer... - Fitment of Thule UpRide Bike Rack on 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe with Factory CrossbarsTo fit the Thule UpRide part # TH599000 to the factory crossbars of your 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe, you need to make sure that your crossbars do not exceed 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall. It is also important to note that the UpRide requires a crossbars spread of 24" - 43". In order to make sure that your crossbars fit within these parameters, I recommend measuring your crossbars to be sure.

The UpRide is confirmed to fit aero-style crossbars like those on the Rola rack. The Rola crossbars measure 3-1/8 inch wide x 1 inch thick. The Sidearm is confirmed to fit Thule's AeroBlade crossbars, which measure 3-1/8 inches wide x 1-1/8 inches thick, so the Sidearm will fit well on the Rola crossbars of a similar size.

- Are Thule Fork-Mount Bike Racks Okay to Use With Carbon Forks?Due to the fact that carbon fiber bikes have a more sensitive frame, Thule does recommend using the Thule UpRide # TH599000. Bike rack technology has not changed to make the racks less compatible, but carbon fiber bikes have become increasingly popular and manufacturers are adjusting their recommendations based on that. Carbon fiber frames are strong but are prone to cracking if not properly handled which makes a wheel-mounted carrier like the UpRide # TH599000 such an attractive choice...
view full answer... - Can Roof Bike Rack Be Installed BackwardsRoof mounted bike racks can be installed facing the rear if clearance is needed. This is a common issue when carrying multiple bikes. So the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 can be mounted facing the opposite direction of the other. I linked a review video of the UpRide for you to check out.

view full answer... - Can I Mount the Thule UpRide Bike Rack Backward on My Truck Bed Crossbars? I confirmed with my contact at Thule that even though they recommend the bike to be mounted on the Thule UpRide # TH599000 with the front wheel pointing toward the front of the truck, he said that your bike will be secure on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 if the UpRide is mounted backwards.
view full answer... - Fit of Road Bike on Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Roof Bike Rack TH599000The Thule UpRide Roof-Rack-Mount Bike Carrier # TH599000 has a front tire clamping system that does require space between the front downtube and the rear tread surface of the front tire. For a road bike with limited clearance in this area this rack may not be the best option but to check I called my contact at Thule to find out just how much space is needed for a good fit. My contact indicated you will want at least 2-inches between these surfaces as shown in the linked photo I prepared...

- How to Determine if Thule UpRide Will Fit OEM Crossbars on 2013 Porsche 911While I won't be able to confirm a fit off-hand I can give you some fit dimensions that you can compare with the OEM roof rack on your 2013 Porsche 911 to determine fitment on your end. The Thule UpRide # TH599000 was designed around the Thule WingBar Evo dimensions of 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall. If your OEM crossbars are under those dimensions then the clamps for the UpRide will be compatible no problem. If you have channels on top of your crossbars for mounting accessories then you just...
