Roof Mounted Bike Racks
Looking for reliable roof mounted bike racks in the UK? Our Thule roof bike carriers offer secure fitment on your vehicle’s roof bars, whether you drive an estate, SUV or hatchback. With designs that support fork-mounted, frame-mounted or wheel-mounted systems, these racks give you the flexibility to carry road bikes and mountain bikes safely. A roof-mounted bike carrier is a common carrier used to transport race bikes, but can be used with other bikes as well. The carrier is mounted on the roof of the vehicle, giving you full access to the trunk of your car. One carrier carries one bike, but you can mount additional carriers to your roof to transport more bikes.
SAFE, SECURE TRANSPORT OF YOUR BIKES
Every Thule roof cycle carrier is designed to ensure maximum protection for your bike(s) during transport and offers flexibility to carry other gear on your roof too - e.g roof boxes, ski's, kayaks/SUPs and much more
