Thule Expert Bike Rack FAQs
How fast can you drive with a Thule bike rack?
With the Thule Expert bike rack, you can safely travel up to 130 km/h. However, we always recommend checking that your bike is properly secured before starting your journey and driving according to road conditions. Remember that having a bike on your roof slightly affects your vehicle’s handling, especially in crosswinds.
How much weight can a Thule mounted bike rack handle?
The Thule Expert can safely transport your bikes weighing up to 20kg. This accommodates most standard bicycles, including road, mountain, hybrid, and e-bikes. The frame clamp adjusts to fit tubes from 22mm to 80mm in diameter, covering virtually all adult bicycles.
Do Thule bike racks fit all roof bars?
The Thule Expert is designed to work with most roof bar systems. It fits directly onto standard 20mm T-track bars using the included hardware (WingBar, AeroBar, SlideBar, SquareBar). When you order, provide your vehicle registration, and our parts advisers will verify compatibility with your specific roof bar system.
Do Thule bike racks fit BMW roof bars?
The Thule Expert can fit BMW roof bars, though some BMW systems use a 24mm T-track design that may require an additional adapter.
Does the Thule Bike Rack work on a Honda CR-V?
The Thule Expert bike rack is fully compatible with Honda CR-V models and works excellently as a bicycle rack for Honda CR-V owners. It also fits other Honda models, including the Jazz, Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline, HR-V, ZR-V and FR-V. The universal fitting system accommodates Honda’s roof bar configurations. When you place your order with your vehicle registration, our parts advisers will check that the rack is compatible and make sure you receive the correct setup for your specific Honda model year.
