Specs:
The Thule SUP Taxi XT lets you safely transport 1 or 2 paddleboards on your vehicle's roof rack. This carrier has telescoping saddles that slide along your crossbars to hold boards up to 34" wide. To carry 2 boards, just stack them on top of each other.
The saddles adjust easily to match the width of your boards. Simply push the integrated buttons on the halves with the locks and slide them along your crossbars to the desired position.
These saddles have soft, kraton padding that protects your boards during transport. This soft elastomer is UV-resistant so it can stand up to the summer sun.
The SUP Taxi XT has integrated, steel-reinforced straps that adjust to snugly secure your boards. The straps can be tightened or loosened by pulling them through spring-loaded cam-action doors on the saddle bodies. 2 Included One-Key System locks allow you to lock the doors closed over the straps. And built-in slots in the carrier contain excess strap length to prevent flapping as you drive.
The straps include soft, kraton pads that help grip your boards. This synthetic rubber protects your board rails against strap abrasion.
The included tie-down strap acts as an anchor, securing your SUP to your vehicle. This strap connects to a tie-down point on the tail of your board and hooks to your bumper. If you are carrying 2 boards, secure this strap to the bottom board.
You can quickly and easily install the SUP Taxi XT on almost any crossbar configuration with the convenient Speed-Link mounting system. The Speed-Link system includes rubber-coated, stainless-steel straps that wrap around your crossbars and tighten in place with hand knobs - no additional tools required. The Speed-Link clamps include 2 One-Key System locks that not only let you lock your carrier to your crossbars, but make it easy to lock all your Thule racks with the same key.

This locking, stand-up paddleboard carrier offers a safe, secure way to transport 2 boards on your roof rack. Steel-reinforced straps hold your boards in place, and the Speed-Link system lets you quickly mount the carrier on any roof rack crossbar.The only thing better than the quality of the product was the quality of etrailer’s customer care. I had to return the Thule SUP Taxi because it was too difficult for me to tighten the straps with my arthritic hands, these wonderful folks were completely obliging, helpful and courteous!
Great other than having to fix straps so they are stiff enough to feed through locking mechanism. Had to cut, glue and melt so they are rigid enough to feed easily. Otherwise awesome
Jenny N - 03/25/2022I love my Rack it came when promised and etrailer was great believe me I will be going back to them for anything else I need I am giving them a well deserved 5 stars
My order came with damage to the box and it was opened/unsealed. I’m attempting to install it this weekend and will advise if product is damaged or missing anything. Thank you.
The strap mechanism is very difficult to move. I am guessing it will loose with use but that makes me a bit uncomfortable also.
It was very difficult to connect to the aero blade edge crossbars.
I haven’t carried my board in it yet.
Today I shared received Thule rack parts from etrailer.com. This is my first experience buying from Etrailer.com. The rack arrived as expected and installation was very easy. I will buy again from etrailer.com. Over all happy with service and pricing for the part.
Easy to use, but I leave them on the truck so I use them more often. Always ready. They are well thought out and easy on /off for two boards. I’m glad I got them.
Not impressed with locks. One lock does not lock though both installed the same.
Easy ordering, very fast delivery, great notifications and product works perfectly.
The product description matched what I was looking for exactly! The racks are great!
Easy to install, even doing it alone
