Pros and cons

According to our bike carrier expert

The front fork connection ensures your bike remains in a stable position and prevents damage to your frame.
The rack is pre-installed, which means it's easily mounted.
Roof racks are relatively light-weight, allowing you to easily move the rack onto the roof, remove it, and store it away.
A roof bicycle rack creates air resistance, making fuel consumption greater.

Description

The Thule OutRide 561 is a lightweight bike carrier for 1 bike. The lashing straps can be easily adjusted and are therefore suitable for many types of front forks. The carrier can be easily mounted on the roof of your car and you attach your bike to the front fork. This way, the bicycle frame won't be damaged quickly. The bike carrier comes pre-assembled, so there's no need for extra tools when mounting it onto your car. The Thule OutRide 561 comes with an adapter for bikes with disc brakes and axles of 20 millimeters and an adapter for placing the carrier in the T-tracks of the roof bars. It is possible to place multiple carriers next to each other should you want to bring multiple bikes.

Please note: a load bar isn't included.

Included by default

1 x Thule OutRide 561
1 x Adapter for bikes with disc brakes and axles of 20 millimeters
1 x Adapter for assembly in T-tracks of roof bars

Great roof rack for road bike

Sturdy roof rack
can be installed on the roof in minutes without tools
Bicycle & roof carrier are locked as standard
Expensive adapters needed for BMW roof rack (only for sale per 3, while you only need 1)

Nice roof rack on which the bike stands like a house. The roof rack and bicycle are locked as standard, so you can safely leave the bicycle on it in a parking space. Roof rack feels like a quality product.

I was shocked when I read in the booklet that the roof rack is not suitable for racing bikes with a carbon front fork, but this only applies to front forks without an aluminum dropout (do they exist at all)?

The only drawback is that for mounting on an original BMW roof rack, one T-Track Adapter is required, which is slightly wider than what they deliver with this roof rack. You can only order the T-Track Adapter per 3, and you can immediately pay Â € 18.99 for it. For a roof rack of this price they should have included that as well, or at least make it possible to order just one such adapter.

Good product, but design could be a little better

Very good carrier for rear hubs
Easy assembly
Thule quality
Conversion with adapter for thru axle is not practical

Carrier is definitely recommended, but design could be even better.

safe

I have purchased the aerobar roof rack and also 3 Thule outriders for my Audi A4 avant. It was a bit of a puzzle, but at a certain point the penny dropped and everything was on top of the car in no time. fit exactly 3 racing bikes next to each other on the roof and I immediately drove to France. could drive just fine 13-140 km per hour, almost no noise, only when there was strong wind you got a small whistle. Getting bikes on and off takes 1 minute per bike, super easy and super simple. It makes sense that Thule is such a good brand, because everything just fits. Now just buy a one key fits all set, because with the aerobar and the 3 outrides I have 4 sets of keys and that is not really handy.

Highly recommended for everyone!
