Thule has the perfect load bar/foot system for vehicles with raised rails that run along the length of your roof. Your factory rails offer you the most cost effective, and easily installed load bar option on the market. As an added benefit, you get the most versatility, superior load bar strength, and whisper-quiet aerodynamics. The Thule Aeroblade Edge Raised Rail Rack is the choice. You don't need any additional kits or mechanical experience, you just need to use the Thule Buyer's Guide to identify the correct size for your vehicle. Installation is quick and painless, and each bar can be secured to your vehicle with Thule's One Key lock cylinder system. Then you can choose and mount your favorite carriers and hit the road knowing you have the strongest, most efficient, secure rack on the market. And, it looks great all the time, but if you want to remove the load bars, it takes just a few minutes.

The core of the Aeroblade is the sophisticated BoxBeam aluminum extrusion and it's internal bridging and structures, which delivers incredible strength; rated at 800lbs of force. The shape itself will bring to mind NACA-informed aero tubesets found on bikes like the Cervelo P-series, with a slightly rounded front that tapers to the rear for better airflow. A major problem for load bars has been the whistling sound at moderate to high speeds. A simple, smooth surface will still make noise while driving. Thule overcomes this with the WindDiffuser™, a textured surface on the t-slot cover that disturbs the airflow better than a smooth surface, greatly reducing wing noise. The AeroBlade™ design also features sharp corners to promote clean “air release”, helping to reduce aerodynamic drag.

Thule is known for simple, user friendly designs and the Aeroblade Edge Raised Rail Rack is a great example. Once you have the proper size load bars, the installation assembly takes just a few minutes. The key to the system is the easily adjustable strap that is coated to protect your rails. Once snapped into place and tightened on both sides, the load bar is installed. Thule has developed the simplest system we have seem to ensure safe and secure set-up on your vehicle. Sized and fitted, the Aeroblade can then be set-up with any t-slot carriers you like: bike, ski, watersports, or cargo.
