Why are Edge roof bars sold singularly?
Due to the integrated design, the roof bar length needs to be matched to the width of the vehicles roof. For many vehicles the front and rear roof bars are a different width.

The THULE Edge and THULE EVO roof rack systems have been designed to share the same vehicle fitting kit.
The fitting kit is the component that is designed to fit a vehicle, it sits between the vehicle and the foot pack.
