Thule Echelon Questions






Customer Question:

Hello,

I was looking at building my a bike rack for my car.
I’m going to use Thule RB53 Rapid Aero load bars and Echelon bike trays.
What adapter do I need for the Aero bars?
If I buy 2 Echelon trays do I have to buy key cylinders separately or does it come with?
What steps do I have to take to have matching locks for the trays?



Racks for All Recommendations:

The Echelon requires the use to the XADAPT9 adapter to work with the RB53 load bars. The lock cores are not included with the Echelon or your base rack. You would want to get 4 lock cores for the base rack you’re building and 1 for each Echelon. Thule sells these in sets with common keys. I would recommend the Thule 596 locks as a result – giving you six with the same key.

Make sure to use the fit configurator, or send me your vehicle make model, and year for a fit check.
