We conduct multiple crash tests at different speeds and weights to ensure the complete roof rack system transports your gear safely and protects the vehicle from damage.
Wear and tear simulations
Specialized tests that are used to evaluate the roof rack systems over time, to assess their durability and long-term performance.
Exposure tests
To evaluate the performance of roof rack systems under conditions that might be encountered during use, we expose them to extreme heat, cold, damp, sunlight and chemicals.
- Load bar for Thule Evo roof rack system
- WindDiffuser technology disturbs airflow to reduce noise and drag for improved fuel economy
- TrailEdge design reduces aerodynamic drag by allowing clean air separation from bar
- SmartSlides slidable length scale doubles as an under-bar aerodynamic cover, providing quick, no-hassle rack installation
- SwingBlade end cap pivots open to allow full access to the T-slot for easy accessory installs
- Upper T-track with QuickAccess interface allows smooth installation and removal of accessories
- BoxBeam internal structure creates an exceptionally strong load bar
