Thule Roof Racks are incredibly easy to install on various vehicles and come with all the necessary components. By collaborating closely with the automotive industry, Thule often has a roof rack kit ready for a new vehicle model even before its market release!
Typically, roof rack systems consist of cross bars, foot packs, and a fitting kit (some systems may not require a fitting kit). The bars carry the load, the feet attach to specific roof types, and the fitting kit ensures compatibility with your car model. At Stoke Equipment Co, we offer roof racks as complete systems, including all the necessary parts to make a roof rack kit.
The Question - What are you going to do with your roof rack?
Whether you're heading out for a camping trip, biking adventure, or kayaking excursion, a roof rack can carry all your gear with ease.
The Right Roof Rack for your activity
The type of activity can dictate the style of roof rack you'll need. Here are some considerations:
- Loading and Unloading: An overhang bar like the Thule WingBar Evo can make it easier to get your gear on and off, without leaning into the side of your vehicle. Ideal for Bikes, Skis, Kayaks or multiple items.
- How much you plan on carrying: If you are only going to use the racks for single items or prefer a streamlined design, the Thule WingBar Edge fits the brief. Ideal for Roof Boxes, single items or those looking for a sleeker streamlined look.
- Roof Top Tents: Require robust racks capable of supporting significant weight. A basic Clamp Mount system will not be up to the task - we have a selection of suitable roof racks here.
Other things to think about
- Weight Capacity: Ensure the rack can handle the load of your gear.
- Compatibility: Different roof types and vehicle models may require specific fit kits.
- What is my priority: Streamlined design with maximum aerodynamic efficiency - or do I want maximum cargo space?
With that taken into account, you can narrow down your options to the perfect system.
Personal Preferences
Your individual needs and preferences play a crucial role in determining the style of roof rack you select. Consider how often you'll use it, the types of gear you carry, and any additional features you might need such as aerodynamics vs storage space.
