## Description

The Thule ProRide XT is a universal upright bike rack for quick, convenient, and secure mounting. This rooftop bike rack gives a clear sign of proper mounting thanks to the torque limiter dial while tightening the soft claw pads. The smartly designed wheel holders with diagonal straps provide added stability while in transport. With a simple tool free interface you can switch carrier from one side of the vehicle to the other. This top of car bike carrier mounts to all Thule rack systems and most factory racks and can hold bikes up to 44 lbs.

Review: A really simple to use bike transportation system - Aside from being expensive, this is a really great bike transportation option. Once constructed (very little required, just need some open space), it attaches to the roof rack quickly (and detaches just as quickly). The main support beam feels sturdy and holds the bike in place nicely. The support beam clamp has rubber on it to protect the bike and the tightener-wheel has an internal torque control to let you know when it's torqued to spec (just turn until it clicks loudly twice). The wheel cradles are moveable, and can be set to a specific spot if you will only ever transport the same bike. They don't seem to cause problems if left free-floating though. The system is setup to be installed on the passenger side of the vehicle, but has instructions to change it over to the driver side. The instructions also explain how to use two simultaneously (mostly just know one bike will face backward since the support beam is going to be directly mounted to the front cross bar). Using a key-set, it can be locked to the bike, and the rack to the vehicle's cross bar, so as a minimum to key-lock the bike to the car, you'll need 4 Thule-compatible locks (two for the crossbar mounts, two for this). Overall this doesn't seem to cause much more noise than the cross bars themselves do, if anything it seems to help attenuate it, but that gets negated by the bike itself. For reference, I'm using Thule square cross bars. Getting the bike on and off is a breeze as well, even after long bike rides. Just lift the support beam to the approximate angle to attach (as low as possible/look at instructions), get the wheels in the cradles roughly, tighten the support beam clamp, then seat and strap in the wheels. To remove the bike, unstrap the wheels, then press the clamp release lever while supporting the bike, and then pull the bike off.
Review: Easy to use - Excellent versatility. - Pretty decent overall. The instructions were not exceptionally clear, but the rack was easy to install once I got everything lined up on roof-rack crossbars. I did install 2 Thule locks (sold separately)…and I agree with other reviewers - these items should be included as “standard equipment” with the rack. The wheel cradles were easy to move and adjust (be careful though - it is possible to push the end cap off and slide the wheel cradle completely off of the rail). This rack worked very well for carry children’s BMX-style bikes…closely spaced top frame tubes and down tubes can make it challenging to get the rack’s frame locking arm positioned correctly. Easy to use. I’d purchase this rack again, as well as recommend it to others.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they lockable?**
A: You will need to get the Thule locks sold separately. But there is one to lock to the roof rack and one to lock the arm holding the bike.

**Q: Will this fit my 2022 lexus ux 250h? If so do you offer a version that can fit 2 bikes?**
A: Thank you for contacting Thule.
According to fit testing, the Thule ProRide XT is compatible with the factory-installed crossbars on the Lexus UX. 
Thule does not offer a two-bike version of our roof-mounted bike racks, though you can usually fit two of them side-by-side on most roof racks.

**Q: Does this fit 27.5 wheeled bikes**
A: I have this rack and 27" wheels and it works fine.  It is very adjustable and will take most any size wheel.

**Q: Will this fit a 2021 Toyota Highlander?**
A: Thank you for your question. 
The factory-installed crossbars on the 2021 Toyota Highlander are not rated as compatible with the Thule ProRide XT mounting hardware. The crossbars are compatible, however, with the Thule UpRide, TopRide, and FastRide bike rack systems.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For $400 no locks? Lol
*by S***E on February 14, 2026*

Installed into inno cross bars using t slots. Installation was straight forward once I figured out what was what. The wheel straps have a ratcheting action for a strong hold. The frame bar creates a solid hold securing the bike in place even when driving over bumps and turns. Did 50 mph just fine. I’d imagine the same at 80 mph. The audacity to charge $400 and ask for more money for locks is kinda sending me. Like cmon you can’t control your expenses enough to include locks?
