I already have the Thule Edge Wing Bars, with three bike carriers. Does anyone know if I will get 4 carriers with road bikes on the bars if they are alternated?

Quick answer Yes (I think)

Worst case you will just have to turn the bars inline with the top tube and then its a deffo!! ....

I have the sliding bars (I think you have more room on the wing bars). I turned the bars inline with the top tube on the 3 x MTBs and then had one Road bike on the 561 Outride bars standard direction... 800 odd mile round trip ....

Thanks for responding. My roof bars are narrower than yours, but I think turning the handlebars will help.

I have yakima wisbars with 4 thule proride 598s fitted alternate. That will take 4 adult mtbs no problem without turning the handlebars.

I had Thule Aero bars and carriers on the v70 which carried the bikes without issue as you can read the details here. Even at over 6' I swapped to a towball mounted Thule carrier as it was impossible to get them on the roof without always worrying about damaging the car - especially in the middle, very scary.

I have them on mine with four bike carriers, alternated. I have to turn handlebars but it works
