What can we say...we LOVE this innovative carrier & Thule Racks does too because they bought the Sportworks Company, which originally made the InstaGater! Quick is what you get in the Thule 501 Insta-Gater bike rack for pick-up truck beds. Not only is it quick and easy to load your bike in the InstaGator rack with no need to remove the wheels, it's just as easy to install the carrier in the bed of your truck. Each operation is performed in less than 10 seconds!

Installation of the InstaGater in the truck bed is done by simply opening the tailgate, setting the rack on the bed with the Insta-Gator gate anchor between the tailgate and the bed, and closing the tailgate. The ratcheting straps easily secure the bicycle carrier in place, there are absolutely no other adjustments that need to be hassled with. Lock your bike inside the bike rack using a Thule lock cylinder (not included; see accessories below).

Carry two bikes in smaller sized pickup truck beds and up to three in a full size truck bed. The InstaGator accomodates all types of rides, even single front forks like the Lefty, bikes with disc brakes, BMX bicycles, road bikes and downhill mountain bikes.

  • Quick installation of the Thule 501 InstaGater in the pick-up bed, comes fully assembled right out of the box.
  • Quick loading of bike in carrier.
  • No adjustments necessary
  • No wheel removal required.
  • Very convenient for all bicycles and especially mountain bikes with disc brakes.
  • Handles a huge range of bike styles, virtually any bicycle is compatible.
  • InstaGator accomodates 20inch - 29inch wheels.
  • Absolutely no drilling or bolting required.
  • Lock your bike inside the bike rack using a Thule lock cylinder (not included; see accessories below).
  • Easy to follow instructions included.
  • Thule Racks Limited Lifetime Warranty!

ORDERING NOTES
Certain pick-up trucks with short beds or shells and caps may not be compatible with this carrier, as the bicycle is transported upright with both wheels on. We recommend first putting your bike in your truckbed (if you haven't ever before) to ensure your truck bed is long enough and, if applicable, your truck cap or shell is high enough.

Lock your bicycle inside the bike carrier using a Thule lock cylinder (not included; see accessories below).
