Thule ProRide XT and 29er mounted

[Khaneric]

So I tried a few different mounts with my bike and the truck today but the ProRide is the only one that fit it.

My frame is a medium so be aware you might not have much space if you have a larger frame on 29s.

Thank you. How much clearance do you have to the spoiler? The bike isn't using modern geo, so it doesn't look slack and long......I have a Transition Spur in Large....not sure it would clear......

There isn't a lot of clearance on the spoiler, maybe an inch or two max. that's the main problem. I have the bike mount pretty far to the right side of the bed where the spoiler tapers in a bit.

What are the chances that one of the bike rack manufacturers come out with a 'special' Rivian rack that allows the bike to sit back further on the bed?

Kinda curious how my more slack 27.5 large long travel enduro will fit on the cross bars. I have a kuat hitch mount NV 2.0 and it's maxed out to accommodate the rear tire.

Side note, How do you like the Orbea?

This is great info. Thanks. You answered one of my two questions. I have a Thule UpRide and was wondering if it was compatible with Rivian crossbars. Apparently they are. How secure is the mount? Did you use the t-track? Lastly, by any chance did you test an UpRide. My hardtail is 72 inches long. I hope I can make it fit. Not very excited about mounting the bike on the roof. Efficiency is going to suck, difficult to remove/mount bike and wind noise increases considerably.

Used the t-track mount and it fits perfectly and very secure. I did try the upside and my bike did not fit with it but I think the demo unit was messed up so I can't say for sure.
