Description of Roof bike rack THULE ProRide 598 aluminum

Thule ProRide Upright Bike Carrier 598.5110907. The Thule ProRide 598 is designed to carry a bike up to 20kg with a round frame up to 80mm in diameter and an oval frame up to 80x100mm. This model is universal and can be installed on the arches of the upper trunk of the car both on the left and on the right side. If necessary, it is possible to install more than two mounts on one trunk. The Thule ProRide 598 bike rack is an improved version of the Thule ProRide 591. Several design changes have been made to improve the usability of the product. The main advantages and differences between ProRide 598 and ProRide 591: the cause of noise that occurs when installed on the left side of the car has been eliminated; the shape of the bicycle frame lock handle has been changed; The ProRide 598 bike rack mounts quickly and easily in modern roof racks using T-piece adapters. Its installation on arcs of a different type is possible with the help of special adapters that are included in the kit. After installation, one of the latches can be locked with a special key to prevent unauthorized persons from removing the accessory. The bike is fixed in the mount at three points - behind the frame and behind the rims of both wheels. The handle for adjusting the frame holder is located at the bottom of the mount, which makes it much easier for a person of small stature to install the bike on the roof of a tall car. After fixing, the mount is locked with a key, which helps to avoid theft of the bike. This model provides the possibility of using the Thule One-Key system - locking all branded products with one key. Features: Automatic bike positioning at the moment of locking thanks to the unique design of the frame holder and wheel stands Easy and fast bicycle fixing - the torque limiter dial controls the force applied to the frame with an obvious indication of correct installation minimizing the risk of damage Secure Mounting - Extended bottom clamp prevents bike from falling over Stable Wheels - Securely locked in smart wheel holders with quick-release diagonal straps to secure wheels Easily designed to transfer the carrier from one side of the car to the other without tools the mount itself is on the roof rack (locks included)

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

Perfect mounting: take off and quickly reinstall on WingBar Evo crossbars! Secure and robust bicycle. A kid's bike with 16" wheels can be installed. My son probably had the tiniest bike with 16 wheels, and he almost effortlessly mounted it. At the extreme, the front wheel rests on the stop, but the strap is securely fastened.

Pros
  • Installation simplicity Easy of use bike fixing Aerodynamics (quiet, please!
Cons
  • It is challenging to comprehend how much effort is required to correct eccentric latches. A standard nut or torque screw (like those found on Thule cross bar stops, for instance) would be much more practical. You should constantly be conscious of the fact that the car's height has increased by 1.5 meters.

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

Mount 598 was only recently acquired by our company. I will mention right off the bat that we decided between number 591 and number 598, and after reading literally only one article, the decision was very clear to us (I will not detail the improvements because people with a higher level of literacy have already done so). The fact that the trunk (crossbars) has wing bar evo gum fitted under the "crosses," which does not need to be trimmed, rendered our decision unambiguous. Before that, we used…

Pros
  • Simplicity, dependability of the fastening, and the possibility to install four different fasteners on the machine are all desirable qualities.
Cons
  • Mounting on a crossover requires the use of a stool in addition to the assistance of another person since it is inconvenient. There were no defects discovered in the mount itself.

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

Excellent mount. A very cozy and gentle holder for the frame, which comes equipped with a "new" mount. It is assumed that the bike will not fly out since it is either already passing by someone or is moving to the left in the wind. In a matter of two minutes for the first time, and in a matter of seconds after that, flip something from the left side to the right side using the instructions and one screwdriver. In addition, in contrast to the earlier model, there is nothing protruding in front…

Pros
  • Easy to install and change the mounting side, lightweight, and versatile, with a wide range of possible uses. There are some high-quality elastic bands that can be used to force the wheel rim onto the mount. The delicate process of wrapping the porous rubber band around the bike frame. Mounting options for bicycles with "fat" wheels can be found here.
Cons
  • When you are removing or fixing something, sooner or later the plastic will push through at the corners of the mounting. components, like wheels and plugs, that can be removed with relative ease. It is possible to remove it by simply passing past. You have to empty the trunk of any plastic items while the vehicle is parked in the yard, as this is the only safe place for them to be. Because the same thing can be done with two out of the three clamps in a couple of seconds, it would be wonderful to add a lock to each one of them. xD Particularly if you are the owner of the same.

It has some flaws but the product is usable.

You need to finish it because it has unquestionably reliable fastening and high-quality performance. The lodgings have stated that they steal, and the stubs fly off / steal. The construction of the device could have been completed, but I was unaware of this possibility until it was far too late. One of the plugs came loose. It was not available to purchase on its own everywhere that I looked. Taking something that belongs to a neighbor is not about me. According to what I've read, you have the…

Pros
  • Thule is trustworthy, but not to an extreme degree.
Cons
  • They claim that the plugs are poorly fastened, that they can come loose quickly, and that they steal lodgements.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I took everything out of the package and was impressed by how well it was packed. Because I had never seen the mount before, I had to open the manual, but once I did, everything was immediately obvious and simple. Both the bike and the mount to the crossbars have excellent, sturdy fasteners. The manual says you can go 130 kph, but I went 140 kph on two bicycles and nothing broke.

Pros
  • Comfort, dependability, quality of construction and machinery
Cons
  • This was the first time I actually had to open the manual.

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I’m already taking the second one, for the second bike, these bike racks have their own advantages, unlike bike racks on the tow bar. Always clean bikes and bike carriers. Not bulky, easy to remove and put, do not take much time. Analogues from other manufacturers are not even close! It was possible to take the 591 series cheaper, there is almost no difference, the wheels are mounted diagonally on the lodgements, that's all the differences)

Pros
  • Simplicity and quality!
Cons
  • Price

Absolutely useless product, not suitable for use.

So in order. Bought these mounts last year. Operated spring, summer, autumn 2022. In winter they lay on the balcony. This spring, I found non-washable white spots, as well as rust spots on bike racks and rivets. Jammed curtains on the larvae of locks at 2 mounts. Therefore, dirt and moisture began to get there, as a result, they failed. But I could not change 2 larvae, because. no one selects the numbers and you have to buy a complete set, which costs about 5000. Thule guys, do you have a…

Pros
  • The price, this mount is very, very, very expensive. This is the most important advantage for those who have extra money. Let's help the whole world to a German manufacturer that stamps Thule ProRide 598 in Poland from Chinese components)).
Cons
  • The price is too high. I bought almost 9,000 apiece. Only 3 mounts plus a trunk of the same company, plus a one-key system. Total in the amount of more than 47,000. Foolishly paid after reading positive reviews like "it's thule". Now I regret it.

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

Carrying a bicycle on a roof requires attention and care. The center of gravity shifts upward, and this is felt when driving. Increased windage, it is also noticeable. There is more roll in corners. You have to drive in such a way as to minimize lateral loads and not rock the car - nevertheless, the reliability of the entire structure is not unlimited. Got pros: Vel is holding on tight. The mount itself is attached to the crossbars quickly and conveniently, it sits like a glove. Remove or…
