"If you can think of it - we can carry it. Your bike. Your kayak. Your skis. Your boat. Your tent. Your gear. All within reach. Wherever you want to go."
Ultimate Safety
Before a THULE product is launched on the market, it undergoes rigorous testing and evaluating procedures. It is exposed to everything from icy cold to desert heat and long-term UV radiation. Then we move onto tensile tests, shock tests, road tests, endurance tests, aerodynamic tests and crash tests. However, test benches and test laboratories are just the beginning. All the features that make it simple and convenient for you to carry your equipment are tested exhaustively out in the real world.
THULE's long-established approach to safety is deeply rooted in the soul of the company. And the approach is based on many years of working with the world's automotive industry. Safety is a common theme running through the entire product range, and you can therefore rest assured that your THULE product will handle tough treatment year after year, without losing any if it's performance.
5 Years Product Warranty
Every product in the THULE range has been developed and manufactured according to exact specifications and is rigorously tested to ensure that it meets the safety and reliability requirements of industry-specific ISO and DIN standards. This is essentially the test programme that every THULE product has to undergo before it is launched onto the market.
CITY CRASH Safety Standard
Long before industry-wide safety standards were introduced, THULE products were being subjected to tests that put THULE products in a class of their own. For years THULE has developed products to meet the demands of the just recently approved, international safety standard (City Crash). As increased safety is of utmost importance to us THULE has already started to develop products according to what THULE believe will be the safety standards of the future.
Refined and Stylish Design
THULE's design process starts as soon as the idea for a new product sees the light of the day. The design is based around a range of different variables, with visuals having to be balanced against user needs, function, the production process, materials and environmental considerations. Other key variables are aerodynamics and safety. The visual appearance develops gradually during the long and details development work. Once the design has been fully hammered out it should fit in with THULE's extensive design policy. "If you look at our products, you'll see that they follow an extremely consistent design language," says Henrik Eriksson, designer at THULE. "
Instead of following extreme trends and short-lived fashions, we stick to refined and stylish shapes that harmonize with a design that sets the bar extremely high - the design of your car.".
