PERSONALIZE YOUR SUBARU
Five great ways to take your
sport with you on the road

styling. Just remove the front wheel (which takes up a lot
less room in the cargo area than a full-size bike) and secure
the front forks to the carrier’s lockable fork assembly; a
ratcheting wheel strap holds the back wheel in place. Plus,
the carrier can be easily attached and removed using
Thule’s ingenious tool-free universal mounting system.

If you enjoy outdoor activities involving bicycles, skis,
snowboards or kayaks, you’ve probably run into this
problem. How do you transport sports equipment
in a way that:
a) doesn’t take up all the cargo room in your Subaru
b) and still keeps the equipment safe and secure?
The solution – accessorize! Subaru offers Thule carriers
that make taking your
favourite sport on the
road easily done.
