About this comparison

INNO BRM660BK and Thule Motion 3 XXL Low compared by volume and gear length, vehicle measurements, loading and hardware.

The practical choice turns on volume and gear length and vehicle measurements, then on the constraints in your own setup.

Winner by situation

Start with what you need it to do

  • Keep the rear hatch clear

    Only passes when the measured front-crossbar-to-hatch distance exceeds the manufacturer's published clearance requirement.

    Depends
    Thule Motion 3 XXL Low

  • Carry long Nordic skis

    Published maximum ski length is at least 200 cm.

    Depends
    Thule Motion 3 XXL Low
    Better fit
  • Maximize cargo volume

    Verified volume is at least 18 cubic feet.

    INNO Wedge 660 Black
    Depends
    Thule Motion 3 XXL Low
    Better fit
  • Pack for a family of four

    Manufacturer positions capacity for four campers or volume is at least 18 cubic feet. Gear dimensions still control real fit.

    INNO Wedge 660 Black
    Depends
    Thule Motion 3 XXL Low
    Better fit
  • Carry skis without folding the seats

    For volume and gear length, INNO Wedge 660 Black records “11 cu ft. Check the internal gear length before carrying skis” and Thule Motion 3 XXL Low records “18 cu ft. Gear up to 215 cm”. Treat this as a hard limit on the size or amount that fits in one run. Shape can matter as much as the headline figure.

  • Clear a low garage

    For vehicle measurements, INNO Wedge 660 Black records “Check the maker vehicle-fit guide for crossbar spacing” and Thule Motion 3 XXL Low records “Check the maker vehicle-fit guide for crossbar spacing. 54.8125 in hatch clearance”. Measure the available space and mounting points because this can be a hard fit constraint.
