The Thule TopRide is a premium roof-mounted bike carrier, capable of securing QR or Thru-Axle equipped bikes to your roof using a unique fork-mount system. Fitting the fork adapter to the bike on the ground allows you to easily slide and click the bike into place on the rack before securing the rear wheel and integrated lock. When you're ready to unmount the bike, the fork-mount holds the bike while you release the wheel strap and lock and then a simple release button allows the bike to come free.

The TopRide can be switched from one side of your rack to the other quickly and easily and it mounts to all Thule rack systems, round bars and most factory racks.
