How many bike racks on a car

dazzzer

Dose anyone know how many Thule ProRide 598 Roof Mounted Bike Racks you can get on a car, I am hoping to get 3 on a 4 door car with wingbar evo'

3 should be fine. Fit the middle one facing opposite way to give handlebar clearance. I had 4 of the 561 model on my wagon at one point.

Just make sure your roof rails will take that load. 3 or 4 bikes on racks creates a *lot* of drag at speed.

As above, should be able to get 4 racks on the roof bars. If you get roofbars look for ones that are the full width of the car.

I managed to get 3 on my cactus by topping and tailing using wing bars between the roof rails. I have had 4 on top of bars that go over the rails that are wider. Again top and tailing.

If they're TT bikes it will be fine.
