The bar ends are rounded and smooth, and, like the bar itself, shaped to cut through the air as efficiently and quietly as possible - Thule says it’s 55% more efficient than its old AeroBars. With them on (without the box fitted) there’s very little obvious increase in noise, even at motorway speeds. If you’ve the luxury of a garage Thule offers a solution to hang it above the car when it’s not in use. There’s a wide range of accessories that can be fitted to the bars themselves, or within the box itself. If you can think it, or want to carry it, there seems to be a neat solution to do so. A Medium-Wide box you'll fit on the left or the right of the roof - Dual side opening gives you the option Once fitted, the Ocean 200 is easy to use and impressive. We fitted it to a Nissan Pulsar - and found the box to be great for family holidays. It will easily take a set of three suitcases, which cuts down on the clutter inside and frees up valuable interior space. Thule Roof Boxes are a great addition if you are going on a road trip / holiday and need extra space.

Fast-Grip" box to bar fittings. You just turn each wheel to draw the fitting claws around the roof bars, making this box easy to fit to both standard steel and aluminium roof bars, e.g. Atera and Thule – maximum dimensions 90mm wide by 38mm deep. Fast-Grips also make it easier to fit boxes to unusual shaped manufacturers’ “own brand” bars, but these bars must be symmetrical in shape for the Fast-Grips to work properly. This allows you to use a roof box and, with the benefit of experience, to exchange it for a new one within 90 days of invoice date, only paying a contribution to our carriage costs. Most exchanges are from a shorter box to a longer one, or from a wider box to a narrower one. It’s worth taking the time to read the instructions properly, as it’s initially a touch fiddly, but once you’ve fitted one the rest follow relatively simply. The Ocean 200 is large. Huge in fact. However, despite its gargantuan size, the box is surprisingly lightweight. In fact it is only 14kg and its external size is 175 x 82 x 45 cm. Lifting it onto the roof bars can be easily done by one person, although the box can be easily scratched so we'd recommend using two people. The finish of the mounts is impeccable, as is that of the bars mounted to them. The WingBars slot into the feet easily, a sharp knife (or scissors) all that’s required to cut the rubber strips that cover the fitting channels.

Volkswagen offers its own roof bars, but they cost much the same and are specific to the car - with the Thule system you could take to a new car with new mounts. The special Titan Aeroskin finish provides a stylish look making you feel that the Touring series has incorporated a future metal technology. A great sized roof box; loads of capacity without being too long. It still leaves you with the option of carrying bikes next to it on most roof bars. Features such as 'fast-grip' roof bar fittings and dual side opening make it really easy to fit and to use. Some users say that this car roof box doesn’t come with the best instructions, but the ease of installation means that it is all pretty easy to figure out without many diagrams. Roof storage like the Thule Touring 200 Roof Box is essential for any family looking to head out on holiday by car and this model promises to be a great option for large groups that need a spacious, secure system.The biggest issue is where to stow it when not in use, but that’s true of all its rivals. If you’re after useful extra space (whatever the size of your car) it’s difficult to ignore how well engineered Thule’s roof box and bars are. Details Summary: does this mean that the Thule Touring 200 storage option still a highly recommendable product? The biggest difference is the capacity of both ranges, where the Thule Motion has a loading capacity of 75kg while the Touring has a maximum capacity of 50kg. Now knowing the maximum loading weight for both boxes, how do I make a choice? When choosing a roof box such as the Thule Motion or Touring series, it can be hard to find what the differences are between both models, it becomes even harder when they are visually very similar.

The Touring roof box range itself comes in a number of sizes. The S tested here is small, with M and L choices in 400 litre and 420 litre capacities respectively. There’s a Sport model too, at 300 litres and an Alpine at 420 litres, both being longer and suited to housing sports equipment like skis and snowboards. The easiest way to look at the weight limitations is to find out you want to carry. Are you planning to transport clothing or other heavier items. If you want to carry clothing then a Touring roof box will suffice. If you are intending to carry more than clothing like camping gear or golf equipment, then we would suggest that you use a Motion roof box.

Providing greater access to the boot when using a slightly larger roof box, or where the boot has a higher opening position. Dual Side opening so you can choose to use it on either side of the vehicle, and to make for easier fitting and removal. Fitting tips: A box is generally easier to load and unload if it's fitted towards the edge of a vehicle; you'll probably always be stretching if you fit it centrally. If you want to keep your roof box in pristine condition, don’t place or store it on tarmac, gravel or concrete. What is practical, however is the way that this glossy, sleek design adds to an aerodynamic shape. There is no sense of drag or extra fuel consumption that is sometimes associated with these big, heavy boxes.
