Overview
A torque-limiting AcuTight knob tells you when the fork clamp is tight enough on this Thule roof carrier. The rear wheel holder adjusts, a rim protector guards the wheel, and the cable lock tucks into the wheel tray until needed.
Fork mounting holds the front wheel off and gives a secure hold with simple tightening feedback. The limitation is that thru-axle bikes need adapters, locks need cores, and the roof crossbars are not mentioned.
Who it's for
Riders who carry one bike on the roof and mostly use quick-release forks will fit it out of the box. Thru-axle owners must buy adapters, and anyone without compatible roof bars should check fit.
Pros and cons
- Torque limiter for correct tightness
- Integrated cable lock
- Moves to either side of the car
- Disc brake compatible
- Adapters sold separately
- Lock cores sold separately
- Roof bar type not listed
Performance notes
The AcuTight knob clicks at the right torque so the fork is clamped firmly without crushing. Holding the fork rather than the wheel frees the front wheel, which is removed. The adjustable rear holder secures the back wheel against sway.
