Through-Axle vs Quick Release: Which Bikes Are Compatible with Mount Evo Racks

Mount Evo vacuum roof racks are designed to carry almost any bike, offering a secure, reliable, and flexible mounting solution. Each rack comes with a universal quick release (QR) system, which allows bikes to be mounted quickly and safely without clamping on delicate frame areas. This universal system makes installation straightforward, providing a stable hold for traditional bikes as well as those without through-axles.

Many modern bikes, including mountain, gravel, and e-bikes, feature integrated through-axles. To accommodate these bikes, every Mount Evo rack includes an adaptor bag containing four types of adaptors (5x100 QR, 12x100, 15x100, and 15x110 ‘Boost’). The 5x100 adaptor is used with the universal QR system, while the other adaptors allow the rack to fit most through-axle bikes. This ensures that whether you have bike that includes a through-axle or not, the mounting system provides the same strong, stable, and secure hold.

The combination of the included QR system and through-axle adaptors makes Mount Evo racks highly versatile. They are capable of carrying a wide range of bikes, from traditional road and mountain bikes to modern e-bikes, without compromising on security or ease of installation. The modular design allows the bike to sit evenly and securely on the roof, with the weight distributed across the vacuum cups for maximum stability during travel.

Installation is simple and flexible. Bikes can be mounted in just a few steps, with the universal QR system providing quick and tool-free attachment, and the through-axle adaptors available whenever needed. Once installed, the rack holds the bike firmly in place, allowing you to transport your equipment with confidence, whether for short trips into town or long-distance journeys.

Mount Evo vacuum racks provide a practical, adaptable, and convenient solution for almost any bike. Whether you want to use your bike’s through-axle or the universal quick release system, the rack includes the necessary tools to ensure a secure and stable hold on the roof, keeping your bike ready for every adventure.
