Roof bike racks

A Thule roof bike rack carries your bike wherever you go. Let us help you find the ideal fork, frame, or wheel mounted bike roof rack for you and your bike.

Sorry, there are currently no recommended products that match your vehicle details.


We couldn't find a solution for your vehicle because either:


  • There is no safe place to mount a rack to the roof or truck bed of your vehicle.

  • Your vehicle is new to the market and we are working on a solution. Please check back in 4-6 weeks as we may have an update at that time.

  • Thule no longer produces the fit kit for your vehicle.

Mount location

Roof
A roof-mounted bike carrier is a common carrier used to transport race bikes, but can be used with other bikes as well. The carrier is mounted on the roof, giving you full access to the trunk of your car. One carrier carries 1 bike only, but you can mount additional carriers on your roof to transport more bikes or other gear. Please note that all roof-mounted bike carriers require rack or approved factory-installed crossbar systems.

Hitch
Hitch-mounted bike carriers are the most common bike carriers. They can carry 1-5 bikes, are easy to mount to your car and limit heavy and high lifting.

Rear
A rear door-mounted bike carrier is an ideal option if you don't have roof racks or a hitch on your car. Foldable and easy to store when not in use, the carrier is mounted on the rear door of your car and can carry 1-4 bikes. Please note that a rear door bike carrier does not fit all cars depending on the size, construction, used material and design of your car's rear door as well as on rear spoiler / windscreen wiper and other car-specific regulations. The Thule Buyer's Guide will tell if a rear door-mounted solution will work for your car.

If your car has a spare tire on the rear of your car, you can mount a bike carrier directly on it. This spare tire solution is compact, easy-to-install and carries 1-2 bikes.

Truck bed
The truck bed carriers are easy-access options for carrying your bikes in the bed of your pick-up truck. Compare the different options to match your needs.

To get a recommended Thule product, you need to supply your car information – make, year, and model.

The list only shows cars that have been successfully tested with a Thule carrier. If you cannot find your car in the list it is likely due to one of the following reasons:

  • your car has a plastic/weak/large spoiler
  • your car has a plastic/glass or a divided rear door
  • the car manufacturer does not allow the use of rear door-mounted carriers on this car
  • your car is very new to the market (available for less than six months)

Please read the fit tips carefully for restrictions on spoilers etc.

Choose the perfect roof bike rack

The roof bike rack range from Thule gives you a full choice of different mounting and loading/unloading options. With everything from fork-mounted carriers that include thru-axle options to frame or wheel mounted roof bike racks. If you already have a car roof rack, it may be a more convenient choice as you only need to add the bike roof rack.

  

When you buy a Thule roof bike rack you can expect:

  • Choice of fork, frame and wheel mounting
  • Smart designs for easy loading/unloading
  • Accessories to increase your loading options

Safe, secure, and easy bike transportation

Each roof bike rack from Thule ensures your bike will get where you’re going without damage. Plus it is easy to load and unload even when you’re on your own. There is also a choice to suit your bike and how you want to transport it. Choose from fork-mounted carriers that include thru-axle options to wheel-mounted or “frame-hold” designed roof bike racks for a quick, precise hold and a more stable ride.

Tested, tested, and tested again

Our roof bike racks are tested extensively in the Thule Test Center™ – a state-of-the-art facility for testing bike roof racks to the limit and beyond. They are also designed for maximum ease of use with many smart features added during development. You can be confident that your roof bike rack will carry your bike safely and securely wherever you want to go. And you’ll be in the saddle as quickly and easily as possible.
