Roof bars come in a variety of styles and in different materials. Roof bars can be narrowed down to three styles: square, round and aerodynamic styles such as the Thule wing bar. Each style represents a different price range and level of quality, when choosing your own roof bar, it’s important to consider these aspects. We stock and sell both square and aerodynamic Thule roof bars, each belong to different price brackets, however both are excellent products in their own right.
Possibly the most popular roof bar shape, Thule’s square roof bars are reliable and safe, made from galvanized steel coated in plastic to protect from the elements and last through the years. Square roof bars are however, the least aerodynamic roof bar shape, but thanks to their low price point, they can be very cost effective depending on your lifestyle needs. For example, if you will get two to three uses a year from your roof bar, will only use your roof bars on short journeys, or even want to purchase a roof bar for one time use, the cost effective pros of a square roof bar price will outweigh the cons of the shape.
