Thule ProRide winner of test for roof mounted bike carriers.
Thule ProRide 591 came out as number 1 in a roof mounted bike carrier test recently performed by the German ACE Lenkrad Auto Club Europa. The result was released in mid February and among the five bike carriers that were tested the Thule ProRide 591 got the highest ranking.
The other bike carriers tested were: d Frey Classic, Atera Giro AF, Fabbri Bici 2000 Alu, Mercedes new Alu Style and MontBlanc Discovery.The Bike carriers were subject to various tests, with the main categories: Handling, mounting, driving and City Crash. For the test winner ProRide 591, ACE Lenkrad specially highlighted the good test results of quality, mounting and bike anti-theft.
ACE Lenkrad is one of German biggest auto clubs with over 550 000 members in Germany. "This test once again shows that we have the best roof mounted bike carrier on the market ", says Andreas Ljung, Int. Product Manager for Accessories.The Thule ProRide 591 is Thule's strongest weapon for the high market segment.
Thule Atlantis 780 "Best in test"Atlantis 780 roof box has been selected as the winner of a roof box test. The test was commissioned by testfakta.se, a Swedish consumer-oriented website focused on independent tests, and was implemented by German ADAC, Europe's largest motoring organisation.  The test measured and analysed several criteria such as user-friendliness, water resistance and crash safety. Thule's Atlantis 780 was recognised as being the most secure model among the six roof boxes and received maximum scores in all three test categories. Thule Atlantis 780 was described as easy to install thanks to its quick snap-system mounting method and was deemed completely water resistant. Also, it was the only roof box in the test to pass the simulated city crash test (30 km/h) without any serious damage. Additionally, the test showed that several other roof boxes on the market do not live up to basic security standards and that they can be hazardous not only to users, but also to motorists and pedestrians.
"High quality is one of Thule's key values and a priority for all of our products. With the ski season coming up shortly, many users around Europe will be on the roads with their roof boxes so this is definitely a good time to bring these issues up"
Michael Mitschke, International Product Manager
