Excellent Rack
I purchased this rack for my single bike to use with the Evo square cross bars. I've had it approximately one month. Just took it from Ohio to Florida and back. My bike uses traditional front skewer. Note that if you have a thru axel you need to purchase a different model number. Assembly: No issues, solid directions, straight forward Use: Bike attaches easily, the rear tire ratcheting tie down is quick and easy to use. The front fork clamp is a nice upgrade versus the previous over-center quick release style. As an engineer I really liked the locking integrated torque clamp for holding the front forks (see picture) Overall, a well designed and engineered product.
Flimsy design and lacking locks
This is an old concept of locking front forks that is available from multiple manufactures. The fork clamp works well with a torque limiting ratchet. Thule designed this to work on their multiple style bars. For me, it was the (I think they call it) wind wing, or wing style. Not the most robust of materials but the bike is secure. What is missing is lock set. Thule is asking a ridiculous amount for these cheap additions. 2 are required if you want to utilize the built in bike locking system and lock the rack itself. I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want these and it’s a cheap way to charge you more for something that should have been included.
Solid and easy to use
I just finished over 1000 miles with my recumbent bike on top using this rack. It is stable and secure at speed. I did remove the seat from my recumbent bike to decrease the wind resistance and turbulence for the longer, high speed portions of my trip but otherwise found the rack simple and easy to use. One small issue was not well described in the pictures or website. The rack is only intended for front forks with a counterbore around the dropouts. My bike is older and lacks any counterbore. It would be possible for the forks to move upward off the front clamp if it came even slightly loose. I added a lashing between the frame of the bike and the rail which prevented any movement. It did add an additional step to loading and unloading the bike and an additional check to be sure the lashing stayed tight.
reliable and easy use
I bought this bike rack to transport my bike from Colorado to California for a bike race. Bike feels secure and I had no issues with it the whole trip. It does get pulled around in the wind at high speeds so if you’re in a crosswind you might feel the occasional tug on the steering wheel. I had 12x110 thru axle and the adapters that came with it work very well. They’re also east to switch out so I can switch them for different bikes. I have used the rack for over 3000 miles now with a bike on it and no issues. I would say the only downside is the lock system doesn’t come with it and that’s slightly annoying. It fit on a 2015 Ford Escape factory roof bars so that was also nice. It’s a little bit hard to get on the first time but once it’s on you don’t really take it off. I can fit two of the racks fully loaded with bikes and a 4 ski ski rack on my roof with a little work of space and alternating the way the bikes fit.
Extremely intuitive and easy to use
Just installed after a quick 2 day shipping. Very easy to reverse the parts for left hand use, aside from the end cap which almost felt glued on. Fits the factory (rebranded Thule) crossbars on my 2021 Mazda 3 hatchback perfectly with just enough space to open my lift gate. Definitely the best bike carrier I’ve seen in terms of ease of use.
Thule FastRide
I bought the fastride a few weeks back for my excursion to the desert for an early season warm weather break before winter to get some extra riding in. Fits perfectly on my car and allows me have much more room available for my dog and luggage and extra space. Easy to use, looks good, quiet and sturdy. Really stoked I decided to buy it.
no locking core capability
I have not seen where the ability to lock your bike while using this rack is available. The cable has only a twist lock and that is definately not a way to secure your bike. Unless I am missing something please let me know.
Works perfectly for QR dropouts
Mix and match Thule bike Carrie’s on a roof rack means I can have one lowered in between two standing tall. Car looks like a race support vehicle now! Bike is secure and stable.
Not Thru axel
I watched the video and it only shows Quick release not Thru axel
