This is a lightweight aluminum bicycle carrier. I purchased it from a Volvo dealer, and it's likely equivalent to the THULE th598. I've only used it once and stored it indoors, so there are no noticeable scratches. However, please understand that it is a used item. I believe all the accessories are included, but since I haven't used it for several years, please be aware that there might be some missing. I have disposed of the box, so it will be shipped in simple packaging. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for looking.
