The TopRide is ideal for those of us that have a variety of different styles of bikes that you need to carry based on the type of ride you’re going to do. The TopRide is designed so you can mount the included Thule thru-axle adapter onto your bike on the ground this makes it much easier once you lift the bike up onto the vehicle to just set it into the guided track and then slide it forward. When the bike clicks into place there is an audible clicking sound along with a green tab that pops up ensuring your bike is properly held in place.
