Can Thule Verse Carry Carbon Fiber Bike
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 02/26/2025
Question:
Would a carbon fiber bike be safe on a bike rack like this? Is there a different option that would work better? I have a new Trek FX hybrid and I dont want to damage the frame...

Hey Tyson, yes the Thule Verse bike rack part # TH74SA will do a great job transporting your carbon bike since it only touches the bikes by the tires. Carbon bikes like you know have really delicate frames so you will want to make sure that a bike rack doesn't touch the frame.

Hey Tyson, how did the Thule Verse bike rack work out with your Trek FX hybrid? It sounds like the wheel-mount design should protect that carbon frame well. Your feedback could help others looking for a safe option for their carbon bikes.
