Thule Canyon XT

The Canyon XT is Thule's answer to the cargo basket category — 29 lbs in steel with 150 lb capacity, integrated wind fairing, tapered sidewalls for easy loading, and Thule One-Key lock compatibility. Here's the thing: the built-in fairing makes it quieter than most baskets out of the box. The downside? 150 lb capacity is conservative compared to platform racks, and steel construction adds corrosion risk.
