Product Description
The Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier sets the standard for bike carrying flexibility and ease of use. The 599XTR is an updated version of Thule's 599XT, but still requires the Xadapt2 to be used with an Aero bar. The easy-to-mount Thule Big Mouth Upright has a convenient, rack-level bike clamping feature, and worry-free, automatic self-adjusting jaws for perfect bike clamping every time. The Thule Big Mouth accommodates bike frames up to 3.125-inches in diameter, fits both Thule and Yakima load bars, and features a dual-locking design that simultaneously locks the bike to the carrier and the carrier to the rack. This bicycle carrier system is constructed with a black anodized aluminum wheel tray that is built to last, and can be customized with 790 Tray skins. The 599XTR weighs 10.5 pounds in total, and is compatible with the Thule One-Key System (not included), and can be locked securely with a single lock cylinder. What's in the Box?

 Thule Bike Rack July 27, 2010
Bonni Gilley (California)
Great bike rack. We just drove all the way to Bend Oregon and back home, a 10 1/2 hour trip each way. The rack held our bikes securely and kept us worry free the whole trip.
 Thule Big Mouth - Average but not Great June 5, 2010
Bradley D. Horton (Jefferson, Maryland United States)
I gave two stars because I've had to make modifications to two Thule products to make them all work together AND you have to keep on shelling out money for everything to work as you want them too. Obviously, the engineers at Thule haven't tried putting combinations of products in play to see their compatibility. I have the Big Mouth, the Thule roof supports that it sits on, and the Thule fairing. I bought the supports, then the Big Mouth so I can haul my road and off road bike, and then I had to shell out for the fairing because of the howling wind noise. The major issue is that when you combine all three you have to begin modifying. Due to the straps from the fairing, the long levers that hold the Big Mouth and the long bike strap levers all get in the way of each other. To solve this issue I had to cut off half of the bike strap lever AND (since that wasn't enough) I had to cut off the lever that secures the Big Mouth to the supports. In the end, it's a good product made less than average because Thule obviously didn't try it with different combinations of their other products (which you'll be forced to buy - ugh) and that's frustrating...for a product to be great it comes down to the details and no need for the customer who paid $$ to put in extra work to make things work...Thule has yet to figure this one out.
Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier October 15, 2008

This item was purchased, because I already have 1 Thule upright bike carrier and like it. It is an older style, but similar. The thing that I like about the upright roof carriers is that if someone hits your car from behind, your bikes are not destoyed too. Also, the upright ones are secure and "stay" there, and the front wheels do not have to be taken off and reconnected and brakes readjusted. A lot of bother if wanted to just take the bikes off and ride. I do have to have a little stool to reach my Jeep roof, but it is claspable and stores in my Thule carrier box. So, yes, the Thule box and 2 upright bike carriers fit on a Jeep Cherokee.

Great OEM Volvo bike rack - great for oversized frame tubes September 13, 2008
C. Dillman (North Yarmouth, Maine USA)

Great rack that fits my Volvo V70 removable sport bars. This rack is well built, very easy to operate from the ground. It securely clamps the oversized aluminum tubes of my son's trek. I have noticed a slight decrease in fuel mileage over using a wheel off bike rack.
great! July 2, 2008

This bike rack was easy to install, and it is easy to use. No need to take off a wheel, the bike is very secure up there.You do need to have the thule roof rack to use this bike rack. It's just the bike rack, not the roof bars.
