Product Information
Full details
The Thule ProRide Fatbike Adapter is the essential solution for fatbike owners who want to use their existing Thule ProRide 598 upright bike carrier to transport wider tires. Designed to accommodate wheel dimensions between 3 and 5 inches, this adapter kit provides the necessary stability for larger frames, ensuring your bike stays securely mounted during transport. The primary benefit is the seamless integration with your current carrier, though it is important to note that this kit is purpose-built specifically for the ProRide 598 model and is not compatible with other rack designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the adapter, simply replace the standard wheel tray inserts on your Thule ProRide 598 with the fatbike-specific versions provided in the kit. Ensure the adapters are seated correctly in the tray channels until you hear a click. For compatibility, this kit is verified to work exclusively with the ProRide 598 model. To maintain the life of the plastic components, rinse the adapters with fresh water after traveling on salted roads or in muddy conditions, and store the carrier in a covered space if you live in an area with extreme UV exposure.
