Why choose this rack

The Thule Tour Rack is designed to solve a specific problem: mounting a rack on bikes that are not built for touring.

Its direct mounting system to the fork or rear stays allows installation without eyelets, making it usable on many modern bikes, including MTBs and frames without rack mounts.

It is not a heavy-duty or expedition rack, but a functional solution for light and modular setups, where compatibility is the key factor.

The Thule Tour Rack can be fitted with standard panniers with adjustable hooks.

Compatibility

Bike type

  • MTB (including non rack-ready frames)
  • gravel
  • trekking / city
  • bikes without eyelets

Mounting system

  • direct mounting to fork or rear stays via dedicated system
  • no threaded mounts required on the frame

Not compatible with

  • frames with tubing shapes incompatible with the mounting system
  • delicate surfaces (e.g. carbon not designed for load-bearing use)
  • setups with interference on stays or fork

Real-world limits

When it makes sense

The Thule Tour Rack makes sense if you:

  • have a bike without eyelets
  • want to avoid permanent modifications
  • use your bike in a versatile way (light travel + daily use)
  • need a temporary or modular solution

It is particularly useful on:

  • MTBs
  • modern non rack-ready bikes
  • hybrid setups (bikepacking + rack)

When it does NOT make sense

  • long trips with heavy loads
  • expedition setups
  • intensive use on demanding off-road terrain
  • when a traditional, more stable rack can be installed

In these cases, a system like Tubus Cargo Evo or Tubus Logo Evo is a better choice.

Bike load isn’t just a logistical detail—learn more in our Load Distribution – Guide.

Primary use

  • light to medium loads
  • compact bags or modular setups

It works best when avoiding bulky or very heavy loads that increase stress on the mounting system.

Typical pairings

  • mixed setups (rack + bikepacking bags)
  • front or rear use depending on available space

Best for carrying

  • compact gear
  • distributed, non-extreme loads

FAQ – Thule Tour Rack

Is it compatible with bikes without eyelets?

Yes, it is specifically designed for that purpose.

Can I mount it on a full suspension MTB?

In many cases yes, but compatibility must be carefully checked based on frame design and clearance.

Is it better than a traditional rack?

No, it is an alternative solution when a traditional rack cannot be installed.

How much weight can it carry?

Up to 10 kg front and 11 kg rear, as stated by the manufacturer.

Is it suitable for long-distance travel?

Only with limited loads. It is not designed for expedition use.

Can I use it both front and rear?

Yes, it is designed for both positions.

Technical notes / considerations

  • lower stability compared to racks mounted on eyelets
  • requires careful tightening and periodic checks
  • compatibility must be evaluated case by case
  • not compatible with child seats

Notes from external sources

Universal rack systems are commonly used as an alternative solution for bikes not designed for touring.

They are appreciated for:

  • versatility
  • installation without modifications
  • adaptability across multiple bikes

In real-world use, they perform well with moderate loads, but do not replace structural racks when weight increases.
