Thule AeroBlade Bars

Features

• WindDiffuser™ is a textured surface on the t-slot cover that disturbs the airflow better than a smooth surface, greatly reducing wing noise.
• The sophisticated BoxBeam aluminum extrusion creates one of the strongest load bars in the market.
• 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™ end cap pivots open to allow full access to the t-slot for easy accessory installs.
• The following products are not compatible with the AeroBlade: 503 Load Stops, 516 Prologue, 579XT Canoe Carrier, 558P Tandem Carrier, 597XT Hullavator, 847 Outrigger II, 870XT-873XT Fairings, 884 Roll Model

Classic Outdoors Notes

This is a great carrier system, however, if you want to move a canoe for example, you need to get the appropriate Thule carriers, and T track adaptors. The black tends to scratch a little easier then we would have liked.

That said, we use them! They are way quieter…worth every penny. The cost is more, but well worth it if you like listen to music or visit in your car. Great rack.
