Thule OutRide 561

The Thule OutRide has a slim aluminium design. The snap-on fastener is easily adjustable for all types of front forks, including forks with disk brakes. Quick-strap at the rear, for all types of wheel.

It fits 9mm Quick-Release forks and also includes an integrated adapter for 20mm thru axles (fits all 20mm thru axles except Rock Shox 20mm Maxel axle). Adapters are available separately for many other thru axles - listed below. Please note, when using the OutRide 561 with a thru axle you can't lock your bike to the carrier. You can still lock the carrier to the roof bars. If you are going to leave your bike on the car for any length of time we recommend that you add a cable lock to your order. The Thule 538 cable lock is also listed below.

Holds bikes up to a maximum weight of 17kg.

Made in Poland.

Exchange scheme: Roof mounting bike carriers are part of our 90 day exchange scheme - see the tab for details. The bottom line is that if you aren't satisfied that the OutRide 561 fits the bill you can exchange it for an alternative roof mount, or a tow bar bike rack.

Allows the Thule OutRide 561 to be used with bikes with 12mm x 100mm thru axles.

Please note, when using this adapter with the Thule OutRide 561 carrier you can not lock your bike to the carrier. You can still lock carrier to the roof bars.

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".

Secure payments
