Thule 532 FreeRide Roof-Mounted Bike Rack
Entry-level, lockable and easy to use. Carry your bike securely on your car roof with the reliable Thule FreeRide carrier.
Why choose the Thule FreeRide?
The Thule FreeRide is the trusted roof-mounted bike carrier for everyday riders. With pull-buckle wheel holders (front and rear) and a rigid main arm that grasps your bike frame, loading is fast, stable and secure every time.
Both the bike and the rack are lockable: the frame clamp secures your bike, and the rack itself locks to your roof bars for confidence on stops and overnight trips. The tool-free, adjustable clamp handle accommodates most frame shapes up to 80 mm, while the generous 17 kg capacity makes it suitable for road, hybrid and many mountain bikes.
