ORS Racks Direct Demonstration Video & Review featuring the Thule Racks 598 Criterium upright mount bike rack. Movie includes Thule Criterium bike carrier review, product demo, features etc. This premium bike rack is all about style and the 'dial'. Just because a bike rack looks so cool doesn't mean it shouldn't be equally easy to install and operate. Simply place any bike, from kid's bike to any adult road and mountain bike and everything in between, onto the bike tray. No need to take any wheels off. Raise the clamp arm and place the c-clamp on the bike frame downtube. Then simply turn the dial to tighten the clamp. Ratchet down the front and rear wheel straps and you're ready to hit the road! Thule 598 Criterium connects directly to Thule & Inno square crossbars and Yakima round bars. Also mounts to Thule Rapid Aero bars and Thule Xsporter truck rack using the Thule Xadapt8 kit. Combine the Criterium with the Thule 532 Ride-On kit for mounting to factory racks. Lockable using a Thule lock cylinder & key.
I am looking for a roof mounted bike carrier and I am torn between this and the Thule Big Mouth. I like this one except I am concerned that this one will clamp the cables to the frame and scratch the frame. The Big Mouth has a different shaped clamping mechanism which I like.
