I have to admit though, the interior bike rack for the X3 is totally cool. |
I would have to disagree with you here. I've have looked at both the Yakima and the Thule racks prior to making my final decision on Thule (I saw them in a store where they had both brands of racks with the snowboard add-on attachments side by side). The footpack attachment to the roof rail of the Thule is a far superior designed than the Yakima...plus the square bars of the Thule will prevent any added on attachments from rotating from their original position. Not being bias or anything, but if I felt Yakima had the better product, I would have bought it in a heartbeat...especially when it cost much less than the Thule; but that wasn't the case.
As far as printing out all the configuration and parts list with prices...you can do the same on the Thule website.
