Here is a nice follow-up instructional video to watch after viewing the Thule 92724 Flat Top / Thule 92725 Flat Top video. This movie features the Thule 92726 Universal Pull Top ski rack-snowboard rack. It is very similar to the Thule 92725, as it also includes the cool new SpeedLink Universal Mounting Clamps, holds up to 6 pr skis or 4 snowboards (and you can carry skis and snowboards at the same time), and includes locks to simultaneously lock the carrier to the car and equipment inside the carrier. Where the 92726 Universal Pull Top ski rack differs is the innovative telescoping cradle arms that will slide out over the side of the car. This makes it super easy to load and unload the snow boards and skiis.  Then the arms retract back into the stored position on the rooftop. The video provides a great demonstration of how this works. Fits factory racks, Thule AeroBlade, square and round crossbars, Whispbar, Yakima, Inno etc. After watching both videos you will have a good foundation for making a decision on what ski rack is best for your needs.

This is a great instructional video for the new Thule 92724 Universal Flat Top ski rack (holds up to two snow boards or 4 pr skis)  and Thule 92725 Universal Flat Top ski rack (holds up to four snow boards or six pr skis). The 92724 replaces the older model 91724 and the 92725 replaces the older model 91725. The biggest improvement is the totally advanced Thule SpeedLink Universal Clamp Mounts integrated onto the underside of the ski carriers. Using a wrap-around strap and tension dial, it is effortless to attach the 92725 and 92724 to any roof rack crossbars, including factory rack cross bars, all Thule load bars (including AeroBlade bars, square bars etc.), all Whispbar and Yakima bars, Inno cross bars and so forth. Thule locks and keys are included for locking the rack to the car and the skis and snowboards to the rack.

New for the 2011-2012 ski and snowboard winter season is a new line up of Thule Racks skis carriers and snowboards carriers. After serving many seasons as the most popular ski racks and snowboard racks used by consumers in North America, continuing the leading position without having to make any changes or upgrades to the products (known as the Thule 91726 Pull Top, 91725 Flat Top and 91724 Flat Top), the designers and engineers at Thule finally decided they had a feature so remarkably improved they had no choice but to update and replace the current series. Now available are the Thule 92726 Universal Pull Top, Thule 92725 Universal Flat Top and the Thule 92724 Universal Flat Top. Each remains similar to their older relations, with one major exception – the universal clamping assembly for installing the carrier to roof rack cross bars. The 92726, 92725 and 92724 all now include the awesome new SpeedLink Clamp Mount mechanism that is designed with a steel band reinforced rubber strap on each Foot that simply wraps around the crossbar and hooks into place via the T-fastener. Then just turn the tightening knob to crank and tension the rubber strap onto the crossbar for a perfectly custom fit. Gone are the days of having to use tools, bolts and more. The Speed Link Mounting Clamps fit any factory racks, aerofoil style cross bars such as the Thule AeroBlade load bars and Whispbar Racks cross bars, as well as square Thule and Inno bars, Yakima round bars and others. Locks are also include for full system ski rack security. In the summer months they all work as great fishing rod racks, wakeboard carriers and water ski racks.

Features the SpeedLink clamps for quick attachment to factory racks and all car rack cross bars from Thule (including AeroBlade and Rapid Aero bars), Whispbar, Yakima, Inno etc.

Along with the new Thule 92724 and 92725 Universal Flat Top ski racks that replace the former 91724 and 91725 models, Thule Racks has just released the enhanced and updated Thule 92726 Universal Pull Top ski rack-snowboard rack that replaces the previous 91726 model. Headlining the car roof top mount ski racks-snowboard racks category, the Thule 92726 Universal Pull Top also features the same sliding action arms for easy equipment loading and unloading that made the original 91726 so popular with owners of automobiles with tall, hard to reach roof tops such as SUV, CUV, station wagons, pickup truck cabs, vans, minivans etc. Simply push the over-size button on each clamping arm to open up the clamping arms, then slide out the loading platforms so they extend out over the side of the car. No other carrier offers such easy access for loading and unloading skiis and snow boards. When done, simply close the arms and slide them back into the stored position on the car roof top. Unique to the all-new Thule 92726 Universal Pull Top snowboards-skis carrier is the awesome SpeedLink Clamp Mount System invented by the design engineers at Thule Racks. Instead of hassling with tools and bolts to install the ski rack, the Speed Link Clamps use steel reinforced rubber straps that wrap around the crossbar. Then it’s a simple matter of turning the tension knobs on each of the four clamp assemblies to perfectly tighten to the crossbars. No other system offers such secure, custom and snug fitment to the complete range of roof rack cross bar shapes and styles. Fits factory racks, all Thule load bars (including AeroBlade, Rapid Aero, Xsporter etc.), Inno square bars, Yakima round bars, Whispbar aero crossbars and more. The Thule 92726 PullTop also includes a complete set of locks to secure the rack to the vehicle and the skis and snow boards to the carrier. Accommodates up to four snowboards or six prs. skis and you can combine carrying snowboards and skis at the same time.

Just like the recently released Thule 92725 Universal Flat Top model, the all-new Thule 92724 Universal Flat Top skis rack-snowboards rack is the replacement for the discontinued and now retired Thule Racks 91724 Flat Top skis-snowboards carrier. And just like the 92725, the 92724 Universal FlatTop also includes the industry game changing Speed-Link Mounting Clamps, the most advanced clamp-on mechanism to date for universally attaching the carrier to all styles and shapes of car rack crossbars including any factory racks and all after-market base roof rack system cross bars from leading manufacturers such as Thule (fits AeroBlade load bars, Rapid Aero, square, Xsporter truck rack etc.), Inno, Whispbar, Yakima and others. With the Speed-Link mounting assembly there is no more fussing with tightening bolts or anything. Simply wrap the rubber strap around the crossbar and set the T-fastener in place. Then tighten the tension knob, which tightens the rubber strap securely to the crossbar. It’s that simple folks! The Thule 92724 ski rack also comes with a complete set of locks and keys to prevent anyone from stealing equipment out of the carrier or the carrier itself from the car. With a shorter length loading platform than the larger 92725 Flat Top version, the 20 inch length easily accommodates up to 2 snowboards or 4 pairs of skis. Also carries ski poles. Can be used all year long too, as it doubles as an excellent fishing rod rack in the summer.

Just released to Thule Racks dealers in the United States and Canada is the all-new Thule 92725 Universal Flat Top ski rack-snowboard rack, a thoroughly revised and updated version of the now discontinued Thule 91725 Universal Flat Top snowboard-ski carrier. The 92725 FlatTop features latest generation technological upgrades and enhanced design styling. Now included with this car rooftop mount ski-snowboard rack is the patented Thule SpeedLink mounting system for universal compatibility with all styles and shapes of roof rack crossbars including factory racks, any Thule load bars such as square, AeroBlade, Rapid Aero, Xsporter truck rack bars etc., Yakima Racks round bars, Whispbar aero bars, Inno Racks crossbars and more. With a 30 inch length platform, the Thule 92725 Flat Top ski rack easily accommodates up to 4 snowboards or 6 pairs of skis, and you can of course carry skis and snow boards at the same time. During the summer months you can also use the carrier to haul water skis, wakeboards, fishing rods etc. The oversize push button makes it a cinch to open and close each cradle arm to load and unload skis and snowboards, even with mittens or gloves on. Features highest-grade rubber compound padding to snugly secure skis and snow boards at all times. Padding will not freeze when the temperature dips well below zero. The Thule 92725 Universal Flat Top ski rack-snowboard rack also includes a complete set of locks and keys for full system security.

Just released to Inno Racks dealers across North America is the unique and innovative BRA130 Inno Flex Top Aero roof bag, a fully-featured multi-purpose cargo luggage carrier bag for transporting a wide variety of gear and equipment including luggage, sports gear (even holds up to 4 snowboards), golf clubs, baby strollers and baby joggers, camping equipment and much more. And with a 14 cu/ft cargo carrying capacity there is plenty of room for hauling gear for the whole family. The 65 inch length is also the perfect size to fit any vehicle, from small 2 door cars on up to SUV’s. The universal mounting Inno Racks Quick Mount hardware fits any factory rack crossbars and any aftermarket multi-purpose base roof rack cross bars from Inno, Thule, Whispbar, Yakima and others. Plus, the base of the Inno BRA130 Flex Top Aero roof bag has built-in tracks to allow the mounting clamps to variably position forward and backward for finding the ideal position on the vehicle roof top (especially nice for cars that have a rear hatch door and ensuring it won’t contact the back of the roof bag when the hatch door is opened up). What really makes the BRA 130  Inno Flex Top Aero roof bag stand apart from all other car rooftop cargo luggage bags is the integrated folding frame system that supports the structure of the bag. This serves to keep the bag aerodynamic and fuel friendly on the vehicle and looking good at all times, as well as making it easy to access the contents transported in the bag. Plus, the full zippers on both sides of the bag provide convenient dual access from either side of the vehicle. When the Inno Flex Top Aero is not needed, the frame can fully collapse flat, eliminating the need to remove the bag and also ensure optimal fuel efficiency and aerodynamics. Locks are also included for locking the zippers and protecting all items from theft when left unattended.
