Description of Thule ProRide Bike Mount 598

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 quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Perfect mounting: remove and install on WingBar Evo crossbars in seconds! Sturdy and secure bike. You can install a children's bike with wheels from 16 ". My son, probably the smallest bike with 16 wheels, got on the mount almost perfectly. The front wheel rests on the stop at the extreme point, but the strap is fixed perfectly.

Pros
  • Ease of installation Ease of use Bike fixation Aerodynamics (no noise! )
Cons
  • Eccentric latches: it is difficult to understand with what effort it is necessary to fix them. It would be much more convenient to have a regular nut or torque screw (as on Thule cross bar stops for example). You should always remind yourself that another 1.5 meters have been added to the height of the car. :)

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

I haven't traveled long distances yet, so only first impressions so far. With its pros: - ease of installation (on wingbar evo ~ 10 min for the first time); - ease of loading the bike; - beautiful appearance. Got cons: price, but I did not find something comparable in quality cheaper

The perfect product for any user!

The best mounts grip the bike firmly and securely. The fact that the bicycle cannot be stolen due to the presence of a denamometric clamp on the paw of the bicycle frame and on the clamps of the side bar is a significant advantage. I had no issues while driving at a speed of 130 km/h and accelerating quickly. In general, I advise!

Pros
  • Reliability, usability, and the dynamometer share clamp were also taken into consideration.
Cons
  • Expensive

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I recommend to buy. Pros: Great bike mount. Holds bike securely. Even at high speeds (120 km/h) the bike stays on the roof like a glove. The build quality is also beyond praise. Has some cons: rather expensive pleasure (without discounts, the cost is about 17,000)
