Thule 532 FreeRide Locking Upright Cycle Carrier

The Thule 532 FreeRide Locking Upright Cycle Carrier is a secure and simple roof-mounted carrier for one bike. Its locking system secures the bike to the carrier and the carrier to the roof bars. A quick-lock frame clamp and adjustable wheel straps make loading fast and controlled. It fits a wide range of bikes, wheels and Thule roof bar systems.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Locking security: The bike can be locked to the carrier, while the carrier can be locked to the roof rack. This helps protect the complete setup during travel and short stops.
• Quick-lock frame holder: The clamp is easy to adjust at roof height and closes around the bike frame. This makes it easier to secure the bike without working with small or loose fittings.
• Wide frame compatibility: The holder fits round frames from 22mm to 70mm and oval frames up to 65 x 80mm. This supports many road, hybrid and mountain bike frame shapes. It is not suitable for carbon frames.
• Adjustable wheel straps: Quick-release straps slide along the wheel trays to match the bike. They hold both wheels in place and help stop movement while the vehicle is in use.
• Broad wheel and tyre range: The carrier fits wheel sizes from 16 to 29 inches and tyres up to 3 inches wide. This allows it to carry many adult and junior bikes.
• 17kg load capacity: The Thule 532 carries one bike weighing up to 17kg and supports wheelbases up to 1245mm. It is also compatible with bikes that use thru-axles.
• Roof bar compatibility: The carrier fits Thule WingBar, WingBar Evo, WingBar Edge, ProBar Evo, SquareBar Evo and SlideBar systems. It fits 20 x 20mm T-tracks, while 24 x 30mm T-tracks require the Thule 889-3 adaptor.
• Simple fitting system: The carrier mounts without loose parts that can be misplaced during setup. More than one carrier can be fitted to a roof rack when the bar width and vehicle load limit allow.
• Folding frame clamp: The frame holder folds flat when it is not carrying a bike. This reduces the carrier’s height and gives it a neater position on the roof.
• Tested construction: Thule uses a rigorous testing process to check strength, durability and safety. The carrier has a five-year warranty and a durable titanium-colour finish.

The upright design lets you transport a complete bike without removing either wheel. This reduces setup time and removes the need to store a loose wheel inside the vehicle. The frame clamp, wheel straps and locking points work together to keep the bike stable and secure throughout the journey.

Choose the Thule 532 FreeRide for a practical roof-mounted setup that is easy to load, lock and adjust. Vehicle-specific fitting kits and suitable load carrier bars are also required to complete the system.
