It doesn't matter if you have a road or mountain bike, skinny or fat tires, V- or disc brakes, the Thule Peloton Roof Bike Carrier is up to the challenge. This bike platform is the world's #1 selling fork mount, and we can see why—it's effective, and easy to use. This bike carrier fits all disc and suspension combinations that have standard 9mm (0.35in) axles, accommodates tire widths up to 2.6-inches (6.6cm), and carries bicycles with a wheelbase up to 48-inches (121.9cm). The Peloton's dual-lock design secures your bike to the carrier and the carrier to the rack for safe and fool-proof transport. This carrier fits Thule and Yakima load bars. If you have any questions regarding this Thule rack and your vehicle, contact our customer service experts at 800-409-4502.
Bottom Line: If you're looking for a simple fork mount that'll work with nearly any bicycle, look to the Thule Peloton Bike Carrier.
The mount itself is really nice, very easy to put together and install, with the exception that if you have Thule AeroBars or wider than standard bars, you'll need an adapter kit. The adapters cost about $12-15.
Yes, it'll fit. Unless you have a very light bike I recommend getting the adapter cross bars though. The factory racks on foresters are kind of flimsy to support a bike(s).
I read other reviews before purchasing and I have not been disappointed. These racks have stood the test of time, only changing a bit with each new model to make them easier to use, adaptable to more bikes, and even more secure. Inexpensive, durable, simple, and secure - perfect.
I had a Velo Vise Fork Mount but I had to force my Trek with Disc Brakes to fit. It never really did which resulted in a mishap that busted the mount and fortunately not the bike. Does the Peloton really work with disc brakes?
I literally changed out the bike mount from my old one to this one in 15 minutes and the bike goes on in seconds. Close the clamp, lock it, strap the rear tire and your off. I've seen reviews that this model has a design flaw, but I haven't had any issues. My box was marked as Jul '08 date of manufacture and I purchased in July, so just be sure you get a new one.
I can throw my bike up in no time and hit the road. The security is great so I can get some lunch and not worry about my bike being gone when I get back to the car. Not a single problem.
Probably not, it's a different system that bolts around the barts on a sliding piece inside the mount. If you have standard Thule Bars you won't need anything additional. If you have Aero Bars, you'll need the X Adapt kit.
This is one of the best bike holders out there. The bike is held securely, no wobbling around like the ones where the front wheel is on. No gripper clamping on your frame rubbing the paint off. I know when I go somewhere if I have to leave my bike, it will still be there when I get back with way it locks on the front forks with the lock kit.
I've traveled all over the country with my bike on top of my car and this rack is the best. My bikes that are worth more than my car have never been stolen, or damaged. I love these racks!
