&nbsp;The vehicle specific fit kit part number has not been released but it appears that this fit will be ready for market very soon. &nbsp;The Fit Viking tweeted earlier to day saying "Prius V. RACKED! Kit details to follow...". &nbsp;Based on the photos included in the tweet and shown above, it looks like the rack will have a fairly normal cross bar spread of about 27 or 28 inches and the weight limit should be the same as the Prius 4 door sedan which is 130 pounds. &nbsp;The roof rack will be availble with Thule's new AeroBlade load bars, most likely ARB53, 53 inch length. &nbsp;For more

KIA Spectra 5 door hatchback that we outfitted with a Thule Rapid Traverse AeroBlade roof rack system. &nbsp;This system uses the <a href="http://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-480r-rapid-traverse-foot-set-of-4/">480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack</a> plus the <a href="http://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-arb47-aeroblade-47-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">Thule ARB47 AeroBlade Load Bars</a> and the <a href="http://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-kit1368-traverse-fit-kit-1368/">Thule Traverse Fit Kit 1368</a>. &nbsp;Technically, this fit it intended for the 4 door sedan, however, we found that the attachement was well within the high fit standards we've come to expect with Thule Traverse roof racks. &nbsp;The supplied measurement need no motifications, the door frame brackets match the door frame with no gaps and the rubber base pads match the contours of the vehicle's roof line. &nbsp;We have no reservations recommending this fit, however, ultimately it's up to the consumer to decided to install a rack system when it's not an officially recommend fit.&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a

a Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen that we outfitted with a Thule roof rack system using the Thule ARB47 AeroBlade load bars that we had professionally powder-coated in black semi-gloss which matches the black powder-coating found on other Thule products in both color, quality of finish, and durability.  The AeroBlades attach to the Jetta side rails using the Thule 450R Crossroad Foot Pack.  Next we added two Thule 518 Echelon fork mount bike carriers that we positioned to the far outside of the bars.  This position allows for easier loading and roof between the bike carriers for other carriers such as an Thule 685XT Atlantis 1200 cargo box, or a Thule 883 Glide and Set kayak carrier for example. <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a

These slimline, envelope-styled sleeves seal out rain and <br />other liquids with an extended internal entry flap that adds not a <br />centimeter of bulk. <p /> 1. Tapered shape provides a precise fit for the 13 inch MacBook Air. <br />2. Stitch-free, heat-welded seams and an additional fold at the entry <br />point create water-resistant defense. <br />3. Semi-rigid EVA foam construction creates a glove-like fit and the <br />padded protection you expect from a sleeve. <br />4.

class='posterous_autopost'>Here&#39;s a 2012 Mini Countryman equipped with the new Thule Rapid Traverse roof rack system using the new AeroBlade load bars.  This system includes the Thule 480R Rapid Podium Foot Pack, the Thule ARB47 47 inch AeroBlade Load Bars and the Podium Fit Kit 4020.  This roof rack system offers several benefits over the Mini factory roof rack.  The Thule system can, in many cases, transfer to a future vehicle by simply changing the fit kit, Aeroblade load bars are the most sophisticated available; lowest wind noise, strongest, there are bar length options and there are many more carriers that fit to these bars than factory bars. <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a

CX-7 that we outfitted with a Thule Podium roof rack system that uses the Thule Fit Kit 3069, the Thule LB50 Load Bars and the 460 Podium Foot Pack.  The roof rack attaches to the factory connection points in the vehicle&#39;s roof trim area.  The bars are in a fixed position at 27 inches apart which is an ideal bar spread for a wide range of uses from cargo boxes to kayaks to bicycles.  The rack has a very strong connection to the vehicle and offers the maximum weight capacity of 165 pounds. <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a

This system uses the <br />Thule 480R Traverse Foot Pack, The Thule KIT1456 Traverse Fit Kit and <br />Thule's new AeroBlade load bars in 60 inch ARB60, but in this case we <br />used our black semi-gloss AeroBlade load bars which are a perfect <br />match with the black Range Rover Sport. Sometimes the silver <br />AeroBlade load bars stand out too much against a black vehicle, so our <br />AeroBlades in black semi-gloss are a nice alternative. The black <br />finish is an extremely durable baked on powder-coat which perfectly <br />matches Thule's black finishes found their black powder-coated <br />products.<p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://getfile9.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/WPb8FQXguAteleFh1FRxJUDEhpVZifylJ9PoTA9xqXpw97g1gU1GhxabPuGi/install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg"><img alt="Install-2010-land-rover-range-" height="375" src="http://getfile0.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/XUMuZa2mH7Up1c4zluUB86EP7Lx0J3ZlOQ8O5GjokcKHPoKabppnGtqy7dW4/install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/XfjUoH7MKCvmSvFEqZHJY4EG0uNMuMwPrXGNzmSfsa2T6T9drdgtxXccZuMN/0install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg"><img alt="0install-2010-land-rover-range-" height="375" src="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/s52RufJL7174lpoWudAcWec7Pyk46Himtcn9SxAPO6dZlWebzPbjgdcshk1c/0install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile0.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/yTZ4ZPDEldrz7JXWNUdM1g8uenKmTUd4rBWOGR9xN5gfVpmkXEEFoHDKyjZY/1install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg"><img alt="1install-2010-land-rover-range-" height="375" src="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/dAB1TbZkYLG5BNUioMxkkM9yeH0BoiMUWtjOnw4Hck6vrg94pCx6hkccpIqt/1install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/p3Y6wvFo8OtaaTrbYxWZ2ymDp1q6oh3uqVr3rC6XdTRa45iIEIiGUusXOspf/2install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg"><img alt="2install-2010-land-rover-range-" height="375" src="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/Krffvi9tiuDq1yX1ae5qTFBxdmTeASCPwTItEnFJiF0lbWBHEJ5QLga6GwNg/2install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/Q81kcbJRXVvSn1Ai0ErCro7J0el5gRUARWTYPpBcjyBzajty0KcSaKXrP6c4/3install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg"><img alt="3install-2010-land-rover-range-" height="375" src="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/ueMSasXUNcBKdI2M4HCjVDxuSc8niWEvnNGIoFfbF0PbkMRkrPeQaBieYo0n/3install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/4Zomm7zwSPjcMfOiAlYTDakb4a0Eo2bTQBwYmHd1HsQxDF1Za837fFTWG3xX/4install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg"><img alt="4install-2010-land-rover-range-" height="375" src="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/0sXKlYSpz72280UytxZFmcT902e6wI1SAPpoRp6QeoqOGnbA8rUzbXj1MAz6/4install-2010-Land-Rover-Range-.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://rackoutfitters.posterous.com/land-rover-range-rover-sport-outfitted-with-t-73354">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://rackoutfitters.posterous.com/land-rover-range-rover-sport-outfitted-with-t-73354">Get With It</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36504396-6850316629162892129?l=rackoutfitters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rack Outfittersnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36504396.post-80613611066394617152011-11-05T16:41:00.001-05:002011-11-05T16:41:46.145-05:00<div class='posterous_autopost'>Here's a 2010 Volkswagen VW Golf 5 Door that we outfitted with a Thule <br />480R Rapid Traverse roof rack system using the Thule AeroBlade load <br />bars in black.

<p>Thule's Aeroblade load bars are manufactured and offered by Thule in silver only, however, Rack Outfitters also offers the AeroBlade in semi-gloss black. &nbsp;These bars have been powder-coated

t-slot mounting for the front and rear of the carrier. &nbsp;The current Xadapt9 mounts to the T-slot on the front but has an under bar bracket, carriage bolts and wing knobs for the rear. &nbsp;We

class='posterous_autopost'><p>[[posterous-content:pid___0]] <p>Here's a new 2012 Porsche Cayenne SUV that we outfitted with the Thule 480R Rapid Traverse roof rack using the Thule AeroBlade load bars. &nbsp;The AeroBlade load bars are manufactured in silver only, however, Rack Outfitters also offers the AeroBlade in semi-gloss black. &nbsp;The finish is the same durable powder-coating use on other Thule products and the semi-gloss is an exact match to Thule's 517 Peloton fork mount bike carrier shown in the images. &nbsp;</p> <p>The roof rack uses Thule's new Traverse fit kit KIT1632 which has the rubber foot pads and rubber coated door brackets, both were a perfect fit on the new Cayenne. &nbsp;All the provided measurements were spot on and the installation was quick and easy, especially with the new SmartSlide measuring device. &nbsp;The SmartSlide makes position of the feet and centering of the load bars very easy and you don't need the tape measure until you get to the point of positioning the assembled bars on the vehicle.</p> <p>The two bike mounts are the Thule 517 Peloton and they are attached to the AeroBlade load bars using our Xadapt9XT adapter kit for T-slot mounting on the front and rear bar. &nbsp;This is the cleanest, most aerodynamic and most integrated look you can get. &nbsp;</p> <p>This same system is available for hundreds of vehicles that have a bare roof or there are other foot packs for vehicles with factory raised side rails, flush side rails, tracks, and fixed point connections.</p> <p>The last image is the Thule 961XT T2 hitch mounted platform bike rack, again, a perfect solution for the Cayenne. &nbsp;The rack folds up between uses, folds down at a 45% angle with bike loaded to access the rear hatch and bikes easily loaded in just 10 seconds and are transported securely with no frame contact.</p> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a

What are the key benefits of the Thule AeroBlade?</em></strong><br />A: No full-length rack system is quieter or stronger than Thule AeroBlade.<br />B: Thule AeroBlade fits the more vehicles than any other aerodynamic bar system.<br />C: Thule AeroBlade and Thule accessories together have the best compatibility and easiest, quickest attachment of any aerodynamic bar system.<p /> 2) <em><strong>Q: Why is Thule AeroBlade an improvement over the Thule Rapid Aero?</strong></em><br />A: AeroBlade&rsquo;s WindDiffuser strip, innovative SmartSlides and low-profile under bar covers combine to make it measurably less wind resistant than Rapid Aero, delivering a significantly quieter, more fuel efficient ride.<p /> 3) <strong><em>Q: Why spend more for the Thule AeroBlade than the standard Thule Square load bar?</em></strong><br />A: The AeroBlade pays for itself! Upcharge from square to AeroBlade is $60. For a typical driver traveling 15,000 miles a year, the AeroBlade will save $100 in fuel alone. Add in a fairing ($85) to make the square bars quieter (but not as quiet as AeroBlade!) and the AeroBlade is a relative bargain.<p /> 4) <strong><em>Q: What lengths of AeroBlade are available?</em></strong><br />A: The same lengths as Rapid Aero: <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-arb60-aeroblade-60-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">60 Inch (RBA60)</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-arb53-aeroblade-53-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">53 Inch (RBA53)</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/copy-of-thule-arb47-aeroblade-47-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">47 Inch (RBA47)</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-arb43-aeroblade-43-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">43 Inch (RBA43)</a>.<p />5) <strong><em>Q: What colors of AeroBlade will be available?</em></strong><br />A: Silver anodized, just like the current Rapid Aero (RB) bars.<p /> 6) <strong><em>Q: Is the AeroBlade compatible with existing Rapid series feet?</em></strong><br />A: Absolutely. All Rapid feet are compatible.<p />7) <strong><em>Q: Rapid footpacks currently come with Rapid Aero (RB) endcaps &ndash; will those same endcaps fit the AeroBlade?</em></strong><br /> A: No, the AeroBlade takes the new SwingBlade endcap, which will come with the bars. Rapid footpacks will continue to include RB endcaps as long as we still have those bars in the field, and then we will phase them out of the feet. Anticipated discontinuation of RB endcaps in Rapid footpacks is end 2012.<p /> 8) <strong><em>Q: Do all Thule accessories fit the AeroBlade?</em></strong><br />A: All accessories that fit the Rapid Aero bar will fit the AeroBlade, with the exception of the 987/987XT Hullavator.<p />9) <strong><em>Q: Do Xadapters work with AeroBlade?</em></strong><br /> A: Yes, all Xadapters will work with AeroBlade.<p />10) <strong><em>Q: Will Thule fairings fit the AeroBlade?</em></strong><br />A: No. The fairing exists primarily to help quiet down noisy load bars. The AeroBlade design is so quiet that wind tunnel testing showed a fairing actually made it louder.<p /> 11) <strong><em>Q: For a particular vehicle, will Thule specify the same length AeroBlade as it does Rapid Aero?</em></strong><br />A: Yes. AeroBlade and Rapid Aero bar widths are exactly the same per vehicle. So, the Rapid Aero lengths in the 2011 print Fit Guide should be used for AeroBlade. The 2012 print Guide will feature both AeroBlade and Rapid Aero part numbers in that section.<p /> 12) <strong><em>Q: People have been asking to be able to use longer Rapid Aero bars, enabling them to carry more. Can they do this with AeroBlade?</em></strong><br />A: Allowing users to go as wide as they like would require a full length slot under the AeroBlade, but a slot of that length removes too much material and doesn&rsquo;t pass our testing. However, the AeroBlade does have 2&rdquo; additional under-bar slot depth per side vs. Rapid Aero, which will allow users greater flexibility to step up a size. Use this guide to determine whether longer AeroBlades than specified may be used:</p> <table border="0" style="background-color: #f5f5f5; height: 129px;"> <tr style="background-color: #ffffff;"> <td style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</td> <td align="center" colspan="2"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-arb43-aeroblade-43-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">Thule 43 Inch AeroBlade ARB43</a></strong></span></td> <td align="center" colspan="2"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong></strong><strong><a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/copy-of-thule-arb47-aeroblade-47-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">Thule 47 Inch AeroBlade ARB47</a></strong></span></td> <td align="center" colspan="2"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong></strong><strong>&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-arb53-aeroblade-53-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">Thule 53 Inch AeroBlade ARB53</a></strong></strong></span></td> <td align="center" colspan="2"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><strong></strong><strong><a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-arb60-aeroblade-60-inch-load-bars-set-of-2/">Thule 60 Inch AeroBlade ARB60</a></strong></strong></span></td> </tr> <tr style="background-color: #f5f5f5;"> <td style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Thule Rapid Foot Packs<br /></strong></span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;<strong>Min.</strong></span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;<strong>Max.</strong></span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Min.</strong>&nbsp;</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;<strong>Max.</strong></span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Min.</strong>&nbsp;</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Max.</strong>&nbsp;</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Min.</strong>&nbsp;</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;<strong>Max.</strong></span></td> </tr> <tr style="background-color: #ffffff;"> <td style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-450r-rapid-crossroad-foot-set-of-4/">450R Rapid Crossroad</a></strong></span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;26"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;37-3/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;29-3/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">40-3/4"&nbsp;</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;31"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;47-1/2"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;42-1/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">53-1/2"&nbsp;</span></td> </tr> <tr style="background-color: #f5f5f5;"> <td style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-460r-rapid-podium-foot-set-of-4/">460R Rapid Podium</a></strong></span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">29"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">42"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">33"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">46"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">39-3/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">52-3/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">45 1/2"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">58-3/4"</span></td> </tr> <tr style="background-color: #ffffff;"> <td style="text-align: left;"> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-480r-rapid-traverse-foot-set-of-4/">480R Rapid Traverse</a></strong></span></p> </td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">21-1/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">35-3/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">25"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">40"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">31-3/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">46-3/4"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">37-1/2"</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="font-size: x-small;">52-3/4</span></td> </tr> </table> <p><strong>INSTALL TIPS:</strong><br />480R Traverse and 400XTR Aero Feet:<br />1. Look up foot placement measurements found in the vehicle Fit Kit instructions.<br /> 2. Refer to chart to see what bars are compatible with your measurements.<br />3 Using a tape measure, install rack using Fit Kit instruction measurements (Note: changing your bar length renders SmartSlides obsolete).<br />450R Crossroad, 460R Podium and 430R Tracker II Feet:<br /> 1. Measure from the center of the side rail or fixed point to get proper foot placement measurement.<br />2. Refer to chart to see what bars are compatible with your measurements.<br />3 Install rack system as you normally would.<p /> 13) <strong><em>Q: Will these additional length options be listed in any Fit Guides?</em></strong><br />A: No. Just as one length of steel LB bars is recommended &ndash; the minimum length, but longer can be used &ndash; the guide recommends one length of AeroBlade and users can decide to use another length (using the above chart) if preferred.<p /> 14) <strong><em>Q: Will the new parts that come with the AeroBlade &ndash; SmartSlides, WindDiffuser, plastic under-bar strips &ndash; work with the Rapid Aero bar?</em></strong><br />A: Yes, technically they will work. They will be available to order as spare parts but not as finished goods. Detailed answers for each:<br /> SmartSlides: Will fit into the under-bar slot on Rapid Aero, but because the slots are a different length on Rapid Aero than on AeroBlade, the numbers on them will not line up correctly. Therefore, they will work to reduce wind noise but not to make measuring foot position any easier.<br /> WindDiffuser: Will fit into the top t-track on Rapid Aero with no problem, and will (depending on vehicle and conditions) help to reduce wind noise slightly.<br />Plastic strips: Will fit just like on AeroBlade, and can be cut to length and inserted inside or outside the foot. These will make a significant difference in reducing noise on the Rapid Aero.<p /> 15) <strong><em>Q: The AeroBlade has more parts than the Rapid Aero, and with the SmartSlides it obviously installs differently. How will people know how to install it?</em></strong><br />A: The AeroBlade comes with its own instructions. In the case of Traverse fits, the AeroBlade instructions will reference the Fit Kit instructions where appropriate.<p /> 16) <strong><em>Q: Will Traverse Kit instructions that are already in the field give the right dimensions for the AeroBlade?</em></strong><br />A: Absolutely. They will not contain an image of the new bar, but installers/consumers should follow the 480R/Rapid Aero instructions to install the AeroBlade. We will add the AeroBlade to Traverse instructions as a running change.<p /> 17) <strong><em>Q: For the Traverse rack systems, which section of the Fit Kit instructions should be used for setting foot position using the SmartSlides?</em></strong><br />A: The upper section of Step 3 contains the numbers needed for the SmartSlides. The dimensions in the lower section can still be used for installing with a conventional tape measure, but they will not work with the Slides. See below for an example:<p /> <img class="__mce_add_custom__" title="Thule AeroBlade SmartSlide Guide" src="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/product_images/uploaded_images/thule-aeroblade-smart-slide-guide-1.jpg" height="647" alt="Thule AeroBlade SmartSlide Guide" width="532" /><p /> 18) <em><strong>Q: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve followed the Traverse Kit instructions to place the feet using the SmartSlides, but the feet seem to be too far in on the roof (too close together). What&rsquo;s going on?&rdquo;</strong></em><br />A: Take a look back at the 480R section of the AeroBlade instructions on p.5. Pay particular attention to the illustration of foot and Slide position. The feet should be flush against the adjustment tab on the Slides &ndash; but not overlapping. Correcting this will put your feet right where they should be.<p /> 19) <strong><em>Q: What will happen to the existing Rapid Aero (RB series) load bars?</em></strong><br />A: RB bars will be available on a limited basis in September, and will be phased out completely in October. They will be available as a spare part for 5+ years.</p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://rackoutfitters.posterous.com/thule-aeroblade-frequently-asked-questions">Get With It</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36504396-4419325678020509001?l=rackoutfitters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rack Outfittersnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36504396.post-49219531673018079782011-09-06T11:54:00.001-05:002011-09-06T16:01:39.570-05:00<div class="posterous_autopost"><div class="markdown"><b><img alt="Thule AeroBlade Load Bars" class="__mce_add_custom__" height="375" src="http://www.rackoutfitters.com/product_images/u/258/image-thule-arb43__57439_zoom.jpg" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Thule AeroBlade Load Bars" width="375" /></b><br /><b>Thule is proud to announce the launch of the AeroBlade™; the most complete rack system ever developed. Silent, strong, and safe, it works seamlessly with a wide variety of Thule’s bike, ski, cargo and water sport accessories. Simple to install on nearly every vehicle, the Thule AeroBlade will change the way you think about rack systems.</b> <br />Developed from the ground up by Thule engineers and independent aerodynamic experts, the AeroBlade features WindDiffuser™ technology; a textured surface on the t-slot which disrupts the airflow, greatly reducing wind noise. It has been tested in the lab, on the road and on a vehicle in a state of the art wind tunnel simulating road noise. The results proved that no other rack is quieter. Compared to previous Thule aerodynamic bars, the AeroBlade produces 90% lower sound energy, 55% less drag, and is 13 decibels quieter. <br />Extruded out of high-strength aluminum, the AeroBlade features the sophisticated BoxBeam™ design creating one of the strongest load bars on the market. Using a vertical load test, the AeroBlade can sustain over 800lbs of force. In addition, it is 40% stiffer than other aerodynamic load bars creating a stronger platform for accessories. <br />Thule AeroBlade has also been determined to be one of the safest roof racks on the road. It has passed Europe’s City Crash Test which simulates automobile accidents at 18mph and measures the impact on the roof rack and the vehicle. <br />Thule has made the installation of the AeroBlade easier with the addition of the SmartSlide™. This system provides a quick, tape measure-free installation. SmartSlide also covers the under-bar slot to improve aerodynamics and noise diffusion. <br />- “We are very proud of all the work and testing we have done with the Thule AeroBlade. This complete rack system combines all the features a consumer is looking for; Aerodynamics, strength, ease of installation and compatibility with carriers and accessories. In addition, the AeroBlade works with existing Thule Rapid Aero™ foot packs so upgrading is simple and cost effective,” remarked Tripp Wyckoff, Thule’s Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Service. <br />The Thule AeroBlade will be available September 6, 2011 through Thule retailers nationally at MSRP $149.95. <br />In addition, to see the AeroBlade in action, please visit - <a href="http://thule.basilicon.tv/aeroblade/v/thule_aeroblade_v5.mp4">http://thule.basilicon.tv/aeroblade/v/thule_aeroblade_v5.mp4</a></div><div class="footer"><b>---</b><b>About Thule</b>The Thule brand was established in Sweden in 1942.

We do not require appointments, we work on a first come, first served basis.  It&#39;s rare that there would be a wait before we could start on your installation and most roof rack systems are typically installed in one hour or less.  <br /> <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a

alt="aeroblade and aachen head explained by rack outfitters" width="425" /></p> <p>Named for the headquarters of Head Acoustics GmbH in Aachen, Germany, the Aachen Head is a mannequin-like digital recording device that closely matches the way humans process sound with both their ears. The device mimics the head of an average-sized person and incorporates specially calibrated, highly accurate digital microphones in each ear position.  The Aachen Head technology preserves the binaural attributes of the sound, regardless of whether it’s inside or outside of a vehicle.  Perfect for testing Thule&#39;s new AeroBlade load bars and the competition!<p /><img title="aeroblade and aachen head explained by rack outfitters" class="__mce_add_custom__" src="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/product_images/uploaded_images/aeroblade-aachen-head-2.jpg" height="245" alt="aeroblade and aachen head explained by rack outfitters" width="425" /><p /> The results of extensive Aachen Head wind tunnel testing in May of 2011 concluded that Thule&#39;s newest aerodynamic load bar, the AeroBlade, is 50% quieter on a vehicle than the AeroBlade&#39;s predecessor, the Thule Rapid Aero bar.  Not only the Thule AeroBlade the most silent of all previous Thule load bars but after testing competitor&#39;s aerodynamic bars, the new AeroBlade was found to be quieter than of every competitive full length aerodynamic load bars on the market.<p /><img title="aeroblade and wind tunnel explained by rack outfitters" class="__mce_add_custom__" src="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/product_images/uploaded_images/aeroblade-wind-tunnel-1.jpg" height="245" alt="aeroblade and wind tunnel explained by rack outfitters" width="425" /><p /> Further independent testing was conducted by SP Technical Research Institute.  Test included City Crash impact and strength testing.  The new Thule AeroBlade load bar with it&#39;s BoxBeam construction was subjected to a vertical load test and shown to withstand 800 lbf or force, 40% stiffer than the competition, it&#39;s the strongest premium aerodynamic load bar on the market!  So not only are Thule AeroBlade load bars proven to be the quietest, they are also the strongest, you could say that the AeroBlade is the strong silent type.<p /><img title="aeroblade and city crash explained by rack outfitters" class="__mce_add_custom__" src="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/product_images/uploaded_images/aeroblade-city-crash-1.jpg" height="245" alt="aeroblade and city crash explained by rack outfitters" width="425" /></p> <p>You can take advantage of these great performance gains by upgrading from your Thule Rapid Aero roof rack system, yes that&#39;s right, all Thule Rapid Foot Packs are 100% compatible with the latest in design technology: the Thule AeroBlade.  Rack Outfitters offers the full line of Thule products for transporting <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/bicycle-racks/">bikes</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/kayak/">kayaks</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/canoe/">canoes</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/snowsport-racks/">skis</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/snowsport-racks/">snowboards</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/paddleboard/">paddleboards</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-810-sup-taxi-paddleboard-carrier-set-of-2/">SUPs</a>, <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/surfboard/">surfboards</a>, ladders, lumber, luggage, you name, Thule offers the best vehicle car rack solutions in the world.  As a matter of fact, Thule is the world leader in automotive rack sales totaling over 5.6 billion dollars annually.  Thule has manufacturing in countries all around the world including a solar powered factory in the Seymour, Connecticut, USA, where they product over 80% of the product line for the US market.  Additionally, Thule employes over 1,000 workers in North America and that&#39;s great for all of us in America.</p> <p>Rack Outfitters is ready to help you select a Thule rack system for your vehicle and activities, our web site is easy to navigate, there are informative detailed product descriptions, up to date product images and also our own product demonstration videos.  Our store in Austin, Texas is full service, our staff has the hands-on experience to guide you to the best fit for your vehicle and gear, then just sit back and we&#39;ll handle all the assembly and installation in our dedicated service bay.  Visit <a href="http://www.rackoutfitters.com">www.rackoutfitters.com</a>, call us at 866-441-7225, or visit our store at <a href="https://www.rackoutfitters.com/about-us/">2300 S.

been hard at work examining out how to improve on their already category leading line of bike hitch racks.  With so many companies producing hitch mount bike racks it can make it difficult to choose the best of the bunch.  No longer, Thule&#39;s new Apex series of hitch bike racks will make the decision easy for anyone considering a new hitch rack.  No other manufacture packs as many advanced features in to their hitch rack line as Thule.  Careful though has been applied to designing a rack that offers the highest level of bicycle transport ease of use, safety and bicycle protection.  <p /> First you&#39;ll notice the sculptured angular main mast and the the graceful arching support arms, it&#39;s high-end ascetic design with function behind the modern good looks.  Thule showcases its unique manufacturing capability with the use of a custom drawn can curved tube shape for the vertical mast which gives exceptional strength and improved bumper clearance.  The long arched bicycle support arms keep bikes high off the ground and give more room to minimize bike to bike contact.<p /> The benefits of hanging style racks is the ability to transport several bikes on a rack that is relatively compact and easy to manage from a bulk and weight stand point.  A common drawback with hanging racks is bike to bike contact, contact with the bicycle frame and bike stability.  It&#39;s true that before a decision has been made to choose a hanging rack, consideration should be made about whether or not the bikes are suitable to be hung from their frame.  Not all bikes have a horizontal top tube that allows for easy carrying on a hanging type rack.  Sometimes certain bikes require a special frame adapter to be able to properly attach the bike to the rack.  Thule offers the <a href="http://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-982xt-frame-adapter/">982XT Frame Adapter</a> which will solve that problem in most cases.<p /> Another concern is high-end bike with exotic carbon fiber or thin walled aluminum frame tubes.  These bikes will benefit from the newly designed cradles found on the full line of Apex hitch racks.  Not only are the cradles dual rubber compound with structural plastic to grip and stay in place on the support arms and softer protective rubber for the frame tubes but the cradles even have built in shock absorbers!  With a rigid connection to the receiver hitch along with strong, stiff mast and arms, the cradles provide the cushion to minimize road shock.  Each bike gets three strap down points, two to secure the frame&#39;s horizontal top tube and another that extends down from the cradle to attach to the frame&#39;s vertical seat tube.  This vertical connection is designed to reduce the sway that tends to occur while accelerating and braking while driving.  Even this lower connection uses dual density rubber, stiffness for minimal sway and soft rubber to protect the bicycle&#39;s frame.<p /> The new <a href="http://www.rackoutfitters.com/hitch-racks/">Thule Apex hitch bicycle racks</a> are fully equipped with effective security for bike-to-rack and rack-to-hitch security.  A heavy gauge cable is housed in the mast of the rack and is extendable and retractable.  The cable lock is key matched to the Thule hitch lock for key management convenience.  This key matching convenience can be carried on throughout the Thule product line of lockable racks.  For those with a bike rack, roof rack and car top cargo box, having all the locks match up is what Thule&#39;s One Key System is all about: ease of use.  This level of convenience is only possible when using all Thule brand racks and cargo solutions.<p /> Another exceptional design feature of the new Apex hitch rack is the Hitch Switch lever.  It&#39;s the lever at the base of the rack which allows the mast on the <a href="http://www.rackoutfitters.com/thule-9026-apex-5-bike-rack-for-2-inch-hitch/">Thule 9026 Apex 5 Bike Rack</a>,

The configuration is <br />the same for the two door regular cab and four door extended cab for <br />years ranging from 1996 all the way up to 2011. The Xsporter with the <br />XK1 Adapters has a 400 pound weight capacity and max cross bar spacing <br />of 42 inches. <p /> Initially, the customer was considering a "split" rack system, meaning <br />they would have a single load bar on the truck's cab and use only half <br />of the XSporter on the bed. The goal was to have enough support to <br />carry kayaks and a 27 foot extension ladder which is 14 feet before it <br />is extended to working height. After determining that the Xsporter <br />would provide 42 inches of cross bar spacing from the front to rear <br />bar, it made better since to stick to a complete truck bed system and <br />not use a half roof rack. <p /> This is preferable because 42 inches is ample support for a rigid 14 <br />foot load and the XSporter offers 400 pound of capacity, whereas a <br />Thule Traverse single load bar would reduce the weight capacity to <br />just 150 pounds. Additionally, anytime a load spans from the cab to <br />the truck bed there can be stress and friction due to the separate <br />platforms on the vehicle's chassis that move independently.<p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/zZvQu24lsnpfiPWcnrGom2GHAtOE1dt53DFcrPD0JMy7ZgC5iT7PLrGIcW2R/photo_1.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_1" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/H96CdcJgRxXSiFisGsartMbJqw412uqY3oS3sTW3Ez8OtzgqI57ir0Uvecnt/photo_1.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/0egwRV4ojymdDzgrrrStFHyM8glOlQd6UoswXuwDAwLEDPCZ8vrJvx8jSt0j/photo_2.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_2" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/bjztFNfYVPpfWlJVLnQk9B4Occ5LeG4PWNJFfdnkQq09w1YSIdu7Bfb4vTEg/photo_2.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/j3I0lhuYGS4kp1OGxwH1VeAjKyQh0szmzNEj3PlUKC0AbAVSuliWe3HxIMRJ/photo_3.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_3" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/nTr7eBG3tqTNNvf7LPcJAYuGtt3wTta3YcG1GdFK4BBKw361wi4B3joNQ8gS/photo_3.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://rackoutfitters.posterous.com/toyota-tacoma-with-thule-xsporter-truck-rack">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://rackoutfitters.posterous.com/toyota-tacoma-with-thule-xsporter-truck-rack">Get With It</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36504396-2850983128160557710?l=rackoutfitters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rack Outfittersnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36504396.post-8007188056701254012011-08-09T11:51:00.001-05:002011-08-09T11:51:57.665-05:00<div class='posterous_autopost'>Here's a 2008 Acura MDX with bare roof that we outfitted with a Thule <br />Traverse roof rack system. Rack Outfitters of Austin, Texas <br />specializes in Thule rack systems and this particular system uses the <br />Thule 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, the Thule Fit Kit 1549 and <br />Thule's Rapid Aero Load Bars RB60. This same system also works on the <br />2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 MDX with a bare roof. If you have an Acura <br />MDX with factory installed raised side rails, Thule has a fit for that <br />as well which is the 450 Crossroads with LB58 Load Bars or the 450R <br />Rapid Crossroads with RB53 Rapid Aero LoadBars. <p /> We setup this system with custom measurements to position the load <br />bars to better support paddleboards. We never recommend straying form <br />the measurements provided by Thule, however, as specialists we are <br />confident in our ability to gauge the safety and security of an <br />installation. The front foot to foot measurement we used is 1215mm <br />and the rear is 1175mm. The "X" measurement, that's from the foot to <br />the windshield is 400mm and the "Y" measurement is 770mm. The set up <br />was very well placed on the roof and fit kit base pads and door <br />brackets conformed to the vehicle perfectly. <p /> We installed the new Thule 810 - SUP Taxi and key match the roof rack <br />locks and paddleboard carrier locks. Visit Rack Outfitters dot com <br />for details, we offer free shipping on orders over $99 and 10% off <br />list pricing or free installation if you live in Austin, Texas where <br />we have full service installation facilities.<p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/OeYGRZ9nQ9QYiMdfdNP2atUAsvR0exIfWO9p5C58jx6NsG1x2SoVFmeYluq2/photo_1.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_1" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/ssGQ4FJdjD7WMiOkXKDMyrsq3fW7vNC7QyKDjFYWLz3uwwtl1o7cZtFGlqgP/photo_1.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/8LPnDMBPKdYbGGtAwlgZSbM8OR3NAxG21tO02xim6shr79uRzhE8O74R24SW/photo_2.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_2" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/Cuf1jyjsEesg6mSzZjhp2YJg6yoO5FdQqFPkMgXQaIPGWNsUyMMAlPocgJS4/photo_2.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/VTHdfYIW39fdpl1JbWHB9jwZJh9qVuZvfJ64mLOp7PhDnYBt9UyKxR6rguJM/photo_3.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_3" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/GiaTTSPEWC6fixmAmMozJXEc65C78hFmvmezHsrzTmDKDLCE48ZhaJpgBIL1/photo_3.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/4BpUODbdVI17mdymA300Xkvz9SspiDhHM7dCAqmarWTVdJawYjDDFzFUYaA5/photo_4.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_4" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/Ei17U3ZrAT0B5QCJ2qyPNPBov4iR4Pxl0P9DuFlldiFRwDAehHhH28t8fIZt/photo_4.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/c0GreuGFCHCOAk1Nle9d1ZjaBTPU02xDgHDm8aR9jH54spySVgolCjF03HyD/photo_5.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo_5" height="373" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rackoutfitters/g5TxVWXKYynmZn85CdxcjpxzIyehMdksBEUZC05Ggp3pHqIL6KHqcrediVLL/photo_5.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://rackoutfitters.posterous.com/acura-mdx-with-thule-traverse-roof-rack-syste">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://rackoutfitters.posterous.com/acura-mdx-with-thule-traverse-roof-rack-syste">Get With It</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36504396-800718805670125401?l=rackoutfitters.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rack Outfittersnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36504396.post-78158199377982395082011-08-04T18:09:00.001-05:002011-08-04T18:09:13.117-05:00<div class='posterous_autopost'>Here's the Thule 963XTR Spare Spare Tire Bike Rack and Thule 987XT <br />Hitch Ski Carrier installed on a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

3 Series with a Thule Podium roof rack which uses<br /><div class="gmail_quote"> the 460R Rapid Podium Foot Pack, the Thule RB47 Rapid Aero Load Bars<br /> and the Thule Fit Kit 3028 (KIT3028).  Next we added two Thule 517<br /> Peloton fork mount bike carriers that we attached to the load bars<br /> using Xadapt hardware, specifically Xadapt2 which allows for<br /> attachment to the t-slot on both the front and rear for the best<br /> integrated fit.  We also set up the bike mounts in a position which<br /> will allow for attachment of the Thule 872XT 44 inch Fairing.  There&#39;s<br /> a simple formula to be sure that you leave space for the fairing<br /> hardware.  First divide the bar length and the fairing width.  In this<br /> case, the bar is 47 inches, put a measuring tape at the end of the bar<br /> at the 23.5 inch mark, hold it there and now identify the 22 inch mark<br /> which is half of the fairing width then subtract 7 inches which is the<br /> distance from the end of the fairing to the outside mounting hardware<br /> attachment.  This measurement from the end of the fairing to the<br /> outside mounting hardware is seven inches on all fairing sizes.  The<br /> Rapid Aero load bars are Thule&#39;s premium bars, they are the strongest,<br /> lightest, most aerodynamic and quietest load bar that Thule offers.<br /> That said, a fairing will reduce wind noise to an absolute minimum and<br /> also adds some extra style to the overall appearance.<br /> </div><br /><p /> <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a
