Thule ThruRide 565 (x 2)

A fork mount rack designed to fit all thru-axles without extra adapters.

T-track fittings are included that work with all the T-track aluminium roof bars we sell. Adapters are available separately if you have BMW own brand bars. This bike carrier does not fit steel bars.

Other features include:

• Fits bikes with 12-20mm thru-axles and 9mm quick release forks.
• Easy loading with a one-handed throw-hood design and an expanding wide jaw.
• The precision dial allows you to grip the thru-axles securely without over-tightening the clamp.
• The D-shaped aluminium wheel tray is lightweight, rustproof and easy to keep clean, with no crevices for the dirt to get stuck in.
• Lockable; bike-to-carrier and carrier-to-bar locks are included.
• Padded rim protectors help prevent wheels from getting scratched.
• Maximum bike weight: 17kg.
• Includes fittings for all the aluminium bars we sell - this rack won't fit steel bars.

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 ThruRide 565 fits the bill you can exchange it for an alternative roof mount, or a tow bar bike rack.

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.
