Thule Rapid Aero Aluminum Load Bar Pair Package

The Thule Rapid Aero Bar is a slotted aluminum load bar designed to work with a Thule Rapid tower. Thule designed the Rapid Aero system so that the towers and all the components slide into the load bar for a sleek, seamless look. The Rapid Aero Load Bar will still work with all your Thule accessories, but you may need an Xadapt kit for some of them.

Bottom Line: Thule made the Rapid Aero Load Bars to match high-end cars.

Nice Design

Very low profile. The length of bar guidelines are a little misleading. At first I thought I could use any size bar, but then it seemed the feet would only fit a specific sized bar for my vehicle. Turns out you can use any size bar (provided they are long enough to span the roof) although directions are not very clear.

Quiet and Slick Looking

By:

I put these on my German wagon using the 450R Rapid Crossroad footpack. Super aerodynamic making them much quieter than my old square rails. Be sure to go to the Thule website and use their configurator, (is that even a word?), to ensure you get the right size bar for your vehicle. My Thule brand ski box fit right on, no hassles. Bike rack goes on just as easy. Cheers.

The Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep factory racks (some of them at least)

The Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep factory racks (some of them at least) have a T-slotted rack... Do the adapters work to add Thule components to these factory racks? Has anybody tried it?

Look sleek, but noisy

By:
August 14, 2009

I bought these bars because they are aluminum and felt that they would last longer than steel bars which I needed to replace (Yakima) due to rust when I purchased a new car. They also look sleek. I was quite surprised after installing the bars with Thule Peloton Roof Bike Carriers how noisy the bars are due to resonation from wind resistance. I installed the recommended Thule Fairings to solve this issue. The fairings elliminated 80% or so of the noise, but not all. I live in a snow region so will have to remove, store, and re-install the fairings each year. In sum, I would recommend steel bars until Thule redesigns the alluminum bars to not resonate so much noise.
