Roof racks are a widely recognized necessity worldwide. Almost 1 in 10 passing cars will be equipped with a roof rack system. The roof rack sector is becoming increasingly popular, especially for outdoor activities in nature. Hunters often use Thule Caprock roof platforms for hunting purposes. Winter sports enthusiasts have found roof boxes to be the best way to transport winter sports equipment (skis, snowboards, gear). Purchasing a roof rack also solves the ongoing problem in large families when traveling by car, as luggage and belongings often don’t fit in the car.
In the world of roof racks, Thule is not the only, but still the most recognized manufacturer. In addition to Thule, we also work with cheaper manufacturers such as Cruz, Neumann, to expand the range of solutions for different customer needs. Thule is a Swedish manufacturer, Cruz is Spanish, and Neumann is Czech. Recently, MontBlanc, another Swedish manufacturer and a growing player in the European roof rack market, has also joined our offering.
There are cases when customers don’t focus on the design or appearance of the roof rack, but on functionality. In these cases, the customer may not care about the more expensive crossbars when design is not a priority and will opt for cheaper alternatives. We have made sure that our customers can choose from a variety of crossbars for different needs and in different price categories.
When choosing a roof rack manufacturer, it is worth considering a few key criteria that align with a good roof rack:
• Easy installation and duration.
• Material quality and corrosion resistance in wet and cold conditions.
• Compatibility with various accessories.

Components of a Roof Rack System
Each roof rack system includes:
- Crossbars: Bars that span across the roof.
- Feet: Components that attach to the roof.
- Adapter or Kit: Ensures perfect fitment to the specific vehicle.
These three components form a complete roof rack system.
How to Choose the Best Roof Rack?
Here are several models from Thule`s roof rack offering:
• Thule WingBar Evo: Ideal for aerodynamics and a quiet ride. It is considered the most popular roof rack option. Customers most frequently purchase this roof rack because it is practical and spacious. It is spacious because the bar area on the roof is considerably longer than the Edge series. This means you can fit 4 bike holders on the Evo crossbars, whereas you can only fit 3 on the Edge series. While the Evo crossbars allow both a roof box and bike holder to be mounted simultaneously, the Edge bars can only hold either the box or the bike holders.
• Thule WingBar Edge: Elegant and integrated design. When it comes to looks, design, and appearance as the priority criteria for choosing a roof rack, the WingBar Edge is just the right choice for you. This series is more expensive than the Evo, but the Edge series excels in appearance and design.
• Thule ProBar Evo: Durable, suitable for professional users. Thule has also thought about the appropriate bars for commercial vehicles. The ProBar crossbars are designed to be easily adapted to different additional screws for securing cargo.
• Thule SlideBar Evo: Innovative sliding system for easier loading. SlideBar crossbars are a non-standard solution for rare customers whose needs really match these crossbars. They are significantly more expensive than WingBar crossbars due to their sliding function along the bar profile. The crossbar can be extended by a full 60 cm, ensuring easy access to bikes or a roof box.
• Thule SquareBar Evo: The most affordable roof rack option from Thule. These are steel crossbars, while all other series use aluminum crossbars. These crossbars have a different shape. The profile does not have a rail like the aluminum crossbars. This rail is used for T-bolts, which are used to attach bike holders and other accessories for carrying gear. To transport these accessories with steel crossbars, additional adapters are almost always needed. Users have also expressed concerns that steel crossbars are noisier when driving due to their angular shape.
Installation and Weight Capacity
Thule roof racks have proven to be the easiest roof rack system for installation on a car. Installing the crossbars only involves tightening two screws and assembling the installation kit.
All Thule roof racks have a maximum load of up to 75 kg. This means that each bar can carry 75 kg, and in total that equals 150 kg. However, the actual roof weight capacity of your car will determine whether heavier loads can be transported.
Installation is simple, and you can find detailed instructions on our website jumtabagaznieki.lv.
