Product Description
The Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier sets the standard for bike carrying flexibility and ease of use. The 599XTR is an updated version of Thule's 599XT, but still requires the Xadapt2 to be used with an Aero bar.

The easy-to-mount Thule Big Mouth Upright has a convenient, rack-level bike clamping feature, and worry-free, automatic self-adjusting jaws for perfect bike clamping every time. The Thule Big Mouth accommodates bike frames up to 3.125-inches in diameter, fits both Thule and Yakima load bars, and features a dual-locking design that simultaneously locks the bike to the carrier and the carrier to the rack. This bicycle carrier system is constructed with a black anodized aluminum wheel tray that is built to last, and can be customized with 790 Tray skins. The 599XTR weighs 10.5 pounds in total, and is compatible with the Thule One-Key System (not included), and can be locked securely with a single lock cylinder.

5 out of 5 stars Great OEM Volvo bike rack - great for oversized frame tubes   September 13, 2008
Great rack that fits my Volvo V70 removable sport bars. This rack is well built, very easy to operate from the ground. It securely clamps the oversized aluminum tubes of my son's trek. I have noticed a slight decrease in fuel mileage over using a wheel off bike rack.


5 out of 5 stars great!   July 2, 2008
This bike rack was easy to install, and it is easy to use. No need to take off a wheel, the bike is very secure up there.You do need to have the thule roof rack to use this bike rack. It's just the bike rack, not the roof bars.


5 out of 5 stars EASY TO UNSTALL AND USE!!!   May 29, 2007

This bicycle carrier is awesome. It folds down when not in use. It is very easy to attach a bicycle to it. We like our a lot.


3 out of 5 stars Great item, needs modification   May 25, 2007

This bike rack works well once it is mounted. The description of the item did not mention that it needed to be mounted on the Thule roof rack adapter. I ordered only the bike rack. I hoped that the rack would mount directly to my Toyota Rav4's factory roof rack. I've since been looking at other factory roof racks, and have noticed that most of them have airplane wing-like bars which go from side to side. These bars are about three inches in width, and the hardware on the Big Mouth Bike Rack is set up to fit the Thule adapter, which has bars little more than an inch in width. Instead of ordering the adapter, I spent a day tooling my own mounting hardware. This gives the bike rack a much cleaner look, and sets the rack and bike closer to the roof, making it easier to load and unload. The second problem is that the end caps come off much too easily. Other than these problems, the rack works well, and is easy to load and unload.

The back rooftop carriers look like they will be perfect when spring arrives. Well constructed like everything from Thule.
