Thule 889500 Pro-Ride Square Bar Adapter — Fit ProRide on Square or Round Bars

Overview

The Thule 889500 Pro-Ride Square Bar Adapter broadens the versatility of the ProRide bike carrier by enabling installation on two common roof rack bar styles: square crossbars and round aluminum load bars. This compact accessory is designed to provide a solid, streamlined connection, helping you adapt your existing carrier setup to different rack configurations without swapping carriers.

How it works

Engineered as an around-the-bar connector, the adapter wraps around the bar to create a stable mounting point for the ProRide carrier. Once attached, the assembly sits snugly against the bar, aiming to reduce wobble and vibration while you drive. The result is a clean, low-profile connection that supports smooth, confident loading and transport of your bike.
