Thule Rapid Aero Base Racks
Our test is to build products that live up to that ride. This is why we bend, break, shake, crash and rebuild our racks before we let you touch them. In doing this, it makes them some of the strongest, sturdiest, most weather resistant, and longest lasting on the planet.
ARB47 AeroBlade Load Bar Pair
Features
- WindDiffuser⢠is a textured surface on the t-slot cover that disturbs the airflow better than a smooth surface, greatly reducing wing noise.
- BoxBeam⢠- The sophisticated BoxBeam aluminum extrusion creates one of the strongest load bars in the market. Using a vertical load test, the AeroBlade can sustain over 800 lbf of force.
- SmartSlide⢠â The new SmartSlide⢠is a molded measurement system providing a quick, no-hassle, tapemeasure-free foot installation. SmartSlide⢠also covers the underbar slot to improve aerodynamics and noise diffusion.
- SwingBlade⢠â The new SwingBlade⢠end cap pivots open to allow full access to the t-slot for easy accessory installs.
