Extra-Long Roof Box Designed for Winter Sports

One of the biggest advantages of the Thule Force 3 XXL Sport is its extra-long construction.

Measuring 232cm externally, with an internal length of 224cm, this roof box offers excellent storage for longer outdoor equipment.

It accommodates compatible skis up to 215cm in length, making it particularly attractive to skiers who need more length than conventional luggage-focused roof boxes provide.

Depending on the size of your equipment, the Force 3 XXL Sport can carry approximately 3–5 pairs of skis or 3–4 snowboards.

For additional equipment organisation, the compatible Thule Box Ski Carrier Adapter 694-7 is available separately.

Narrow 70cm Profile for Greater Roof Versatility

The Thule Force 3 XXL Sport Roof Box features a slim 70cm external width.

This narrow-profile design can preserve space on compatible roof rack systems for additional roof-mounted equipment.

For example, cyclists may be able to combine the roof box with a compatible bike carrier, while still benefiting from generous enclosed luggage storage.

The available space will depend on your vehicle's roof width, roof bar configuration, accessory dimensions and weight limits.

This makes the Force 3 XXL Sport an appealing option for outdoor enthusiasts who regularly transport different types of equipment.

Generous 450L Storage for Family Holidays

Despite its narrow design, the Thule Force 3 XXL Sport offers a spacious 450-litre interior.

This provides valuable additional storage for suitcases, camping equipment, winter sports clothing and other travel essentials.

By moving bulky equipment onto the roof, you can free up passenger and boot space inside your vehicle.

Whether you're travelling on a family holiday, heading away for a skiing weekend or exploring Scotland by car, the Force 3 XXL Sport provides flexible storage for longer journeys.

Durable AeroSkin Finish for Year-Round Use

Combined with Thule's robust construction and safety testing, this roof box is designed for dependable performance across a wide range of travel conditions.

Aerodynamic Design for Comfortable Travel

The Thule Force 3 XXL Sport features a streamlined design developed to complement modern vehicles.

Its aerodynamic profile helps reduce air resistance and wind noise compared with less streamlined roof storage solutions.

This makes it particularly useful for long motorway journeys, road trips and winter sports holidays.

Actual fuel consumption, noise and aerodynamic performance will vary depending on your vehicle, roof bars and driving conditions.
