MANILA, Philippines - Thule, the world leader in bike rack and load systems, has always been at the cutting edge of bike mounting and protection technology to make it easy for people to transport their equipment securely, safely and in style.
The Thule 594XT Sidearm is a roof mounted rack that accommodates non traditional bikes with funky suspension designs, thru-axles, and disk brakes. The SecureHook holds the bike by grabbing the front wheel only and ratcheting the rear wheel down. No contact is made to the frame preventing damage in transport. A corrosion resistant double-wall aluminum tray provides maximum strength and durability. Thule designed the 594 sidearm to fit bike wheels from 20 to 29 inches and tires up to 2.6 inches making it the perfect rack for a wide variety of bikes.
The construction of the carrier is also changed with new wheel holders for easier loading. When loaded, the bikes are quickly secured and later released by using the wheel straps, adjustable for different wheel sizes. The whole mounting is easy since the carrier has no loose part attached to it and the convenient Quick Mounting System supports fast and easy mounting on both square and aero bars.
The Thule 594 XT sidearm can easily be combined with the Thule SlideBar. The functionality of sliding the roof rack out from the car makes it very easy also to lift the bikes on to the roof and to fasten them to the Thule 594 XT. With the 594 XT, you get maximum frame protection with this upright roof-mounted bike rack as it makes contact with the wheel only.
