Enjoy the ride

Bring your gear 2010 Safely, easily and in style

Everybody wants to get away sometimes

Wish you were somewhere else? Youre not alone. Most of us try to get away from time to time. From appointments. Spreadsheets. Bad coffee. Parking tickets. You name it. We all have places wed rather be, people wed rather see, friends wed rather meet. We all have our own little adventures to explore and passions to pursue. Unfortunately, we cannot promise we can make any of the above happen. Its entirely up to you. But should you manage to get away, we promise you this: Whatever youre bringing, whatever your pursuit, well help you get it there. Safely, easily and in style. Just lean back, and enjoy the ride.

Onwards and upwards

Thule is constantly on the look out for new and better ways to help you get your gear from A to B. This year were proud to present some exciting news. All of which will help you transport your things safely, easily and in style and enjoy your ride. Our new Thule Transport line is an excellent example. Have you ever felt slightly annoyed by the ever increasing amount of tiny but necessary things that seem to fill up your car? And subsequently even more annoyed because you seem to have neither space nor compartments enough to accommodate them? Well, so have we. And were happy to say we did something about it. The new Thule Transport line gives you a host of smart solutions that will help you organise all those things in no time and give your car interior a well-deserved boost. Other news includes a proper overhaul and upgrade of our Thule EuroWay bike carrier series. Apart from a new construction with more aluminium, making the carrier ultra light, the new Thule EuroWay G2 now comes with a smart foot pedal tilt function that enables easy and convenient boot access with your bikes in place.

Its also upgraded to comprise our unique one-hand coupling that allows easy securing of the carrier to the towbar by closing a lever in a single one-hand movement. In addition, it comes with convenient pump-buckle wheel straps for easy securing. Furthermore, the adjustable and extendable wheel holders and lights offer you flexibility when transporting your bikes and convenience when storing your Thule EuroWay G2 when not in use. Weve extended our bike carrier range with the new Thule EuroRide, an easy on-the-pocket, compact, practical and tiltable carrier that can carry up to 3 bikes. In addition, weve updated our Thule ProRide bike carrier now it carries bikes up to 20 kg. Were excited to present Thule Rapid 754, a new set of secure and safe roof rack feet with torque indicators that indicate when the rack is safely and properly attached to the vehicle. With the new feet, the entire Thule Rapid family is now City Crash approved. We also gave a face lift to our popular Thule Rapid Railing 757, the worlds most popular load carrier for cars with factory installed roof railings.

Lets roll!

So you take any chance to meet with the great outdoors? You come up with any reason to get out there and do your thing. Well, so do we. Were constantly on the hunt for a new trail to tear along, a new path to trek, a new slope to fly down, a new creek to paddle. Were always seeking a new kick to explore. A new passion to pursue. A new dream to fulfil. Another excuse to leave the commotion and confinement of everyday life.

Maybe thats why our solutions turn out the way they do. We know what its like to try and haul your kayak onto a car roof all by yourself and not succeed. Weve seen costly bikes flying off dodgy roof racks. Weve seen the disappointment of fellow outdoor enthusiasts spending valuable time patching up their gear instead of enjoying their well-deserved time off. Thules committed to helping you enjoy the great outdoors and we offer reliable, user-friendly product solutions, the best and widest product range available

on the market and the best imaginable service. We do everything to provide you with smart, stylish and safe solutions to enable you to do the things you want to do and transport whatever you need to transport be it for pleasure or for professional purposes. We do everything to help you bring your gear. Safely, easily and in style. Put simply, we do everything for you to fully enjoy your ride. No matter what it is.

Beauty and brains

Weve been around since 1942. In 1962 we developed our first roof rack. So its fair to say weve picked up a thing or two along the way on how to provide good transport solutions for your gear be it for recreational, outdoor or professional purposes. A cornerstone of our philosophy is to offer smart solutions in every aspect. We continuously use the latest technology to develop innovative, unique and userfriendly features for our products, to make it easier for you to transport your gear. Easily, safely and in style. Thats probably why weve become the world leader in this area. Today we offer a wide range of premium products. Including rooftop boxes, bike carriers, towing systems, car rails, snow chains, accessories for recreational vehicles, as well as organisational solutions such as messenger bags or accessories for photo and video equipment. Everything to solve your recreational or professional transportation needs in order to focus on your venture. Everything in order for you to enjoy the ride.

Tested for life

Thules ambition in safety matters is to keep one step ahead of the industrys norm. Therefore, in order for a product to bear our name and get the Thule sign of approval, we test it. To the limit. In high tech advanced laboratories and in real life situations. It has to pass brutal tensile tests, shock tests, endurance tests, road tests, and crash tests. Its also exposed to everything from icy cold to desert heat and long-term UV radiation, before it reaches the market. And to ensure that the product fits perfectly and stays safely fixed to your car during the product lifetime, it has undergone extensive durability tests. You can therefore rest assured that a Thule product will handle tough treatment year after year, without losing any of its performance. Our load carrier system is simply the perfect combination of design, function and safety.

13

Driving Introducing the product to the world of real and extreme driving, to make sure that product, load and car remain unaffected. All tests are performed at a racing track. Driving tests include: Evasion actions, Slalom tests, Braking tests, and High-speed tests. Static Pull Test Re-creating the extreme forces that can cause stress to the load carrier during driving then doubling those forces to make sure there is plenty of margin. City Crash Making sure that load carriers, load accessories and load remain safely on the roof during a collision. Thule has products in all product segments that fulfil the demands of the City Crash norm.

Sleeping Policeman Simulating what happens when driving over a road bump with a towbar carrier fitted. Environmental Making sure that the most extreme forces of nature do not affect the performance and safety of the product on a long-term basis. Environmental influence tests include Corrosion, Temperature, Humidity, UV radiation, Flammability, Impact, and Chemical resistance.

where it all started, where it all starts.

Back in 1962, we decided to focus on car-related products exclusively. The same year, we developed our first roof rack. Little did we know where we would end up a few decades later. Today, Thule is the world leader in sports utility transportation. A position we would never have gained if it werent for that strategic decision almost 50 years ago. In a sense, our rack systems are the be-all-and-end-all

Thule Load Carriers

of our success. This is where it all started for us. If you are planning to transport things on the roof of your car, then its a rather good place to start for you also. We offer a complete range, with a host of exceptional features, for practically any make of car. And once youve decided on a Thule load carrier you can easily build a complete load carrying system, mounting and removing Thule accessories entirely at your own convenience.

aero bar or square bar?

Always a perfect fit

The length of the roof bar is determined by the width of your car. However, for most of Thules load carrier systems you can choose between elegant aluminium bars or the more basic square bars. The aluminium aero bars are lighter, more aerodynamic, and have a T-track that allows you to use the full width of the roof bars for fitting load accessories. Have a look in the Thule Fit Guide or go to www.thule.com to find out the right foot pack and roof bars for your car.

the feature that gives Thules load carriers more loading properties
All Thules aerobars are equipped with a T-track an ingenious feature that has clear benefits: When you change load accessory, e.g. from bike carrier to ski carrier, simply slide in and attach the new accessory. You can use the full length of the aero bar, even the space above the load carrier foot, to make space for several accessories on the car roof.

T-track

Slides in with perfect fit The load accessory you choose slides in with perfect fit in the T-track. You can use the full length of the aero roof bar for maximum load capacity.

Two wheels. One passion.

Passion comes in several different guises. To some, biking is the easy, carefree, and relaxed way to get to know a holiday destination a bit better. To come a bit closer to the very essence of it. To do the occasional pit stop every now and then and have the espresso of your life, far beyond the main tourist arteries. Maybe try the local wine and meet a new potential lifelong friend or two among the locals. To others, biking is a rather upfront, hands-on, and thrilling way to experience the world just as nature intended. Albeit on wheels. To them its just alongside being part of any explorer crew back in the 15th century. Think the Santa Maria on wheels. The pulse, the presence, the kicks. They simply cannot wait to give that outback singletrack the ride of their lives. In between there are thousands of other motives and reasons for leaving the city and bringing the bike. Whats yours?

As happy as can be
Whether you prefer to kayak all by yourself in a far away creek, enjoying the stillness and serenity around you, or fight the biggest gusts along the north-western coast of Aruba, throwing monster air chachoos, youll agree we all have a special relation to water. And that something special happens to us the moment we get in touch with it. Obviously, the sensations vary from person to person. Some of us turn into excited and delighted jolly youngsters, or even toddlers. Others adopt a more composed and blissful, almost reverent disposition. Either way, when we hit the water, it seems as if were as close to nature and our origins as humanity can get. And as the old romantics would have it, thats us at our happiest. They might just have a point.

On top of the world

Few things make us feel more alive than hurling ourselves down white snowy landscapes with perfectly prepared pistes. One of the possible exceptions would be hurling ourselves down white snowy landscapes with perfectly untouched, unprepared pistes, of course. But thats an entirely different story. Needless to say, tearing down a slope in every which way you prefer is a tremendous way to pursue and enjoy an active lifestyle. Bring the family, bring your friends. Bring a newschooler, freestyler, telemarker or a snowboarder. Bring just about anybody to a snow packed resort and their eyes will shine as if they just saw a miracle. On the other hand, isnt that just what it is? At least to old ski bums like us.
