Icon vs. Evolution? Are these just the "Bosch Icon" wiper blade rebranded?

Hello Paul, Great question. The Bosch Evolution is a new wiper blade from Bosch which is different from the Bosch Icon. It was designed to give better performance than a conventional style wiper blade at a price less than the Bosch ICON, which is the top of the line wiper blade at Bosch in terms of performance and durability. If you were to visually inspect the two blades you would notice that the Bosch Evolution looks a bit different because it has a different style connector and it has a symmetric wind spoiler. The rubber on the blades is also different. The Bosch Evolution uses a precision-cut natural rubber wiping edge and the Bosch ICON uses Exclusive fx dual rubber technology. The top of the fx rubber features a flexible soft layer where the rubber connects to the wind spoiler which reduces chatter. The harder wiping edge on the fx rubber offers superior wiping performance and 20% longer performance life vs. other premium wiper blades. The BOSCH ICON wiper blades also offer a more precise fit to the windshield with a different amount of tension between the drivers and passenger side wiper blades to remove additional moisture from the windshield (less streaking). Both are bracketless wiper blades, and Bracketless wiper blades are designed without metal or plastic brackets, joints or hinges, offering design and performance improvements over conventional wiper blades. Both blades are created to be a great value for the price. Again, this was a great question, I hope this helps you make your decision!

They are not specific to this model. We use standard Bosch blades in this, various sizes & lengths.

The A blades is hook handle as used by toyota's and Suzuki while OE uses a metal pin such as infinity's and europeas cars. Take care, I realized it when I purchased the incorrect unit.

The blades that come with it are bosch brand but have the same connection as any other type of blade. You can buy replacement blades of any brand

I am not technical in any way. My personal experience with these blades is while defrosting the wipers have uneven pressure. There are several adapters included of which I didn't throw away or tried yet. These are single edged wipers that do need the wind for pressure against the window

They appear to be the exact same same item. Since we only have the spin disc I am not positive but it is possibly a "re-branding" of the spin disc. Unless they updated the internal parts. From the outside it looks identical.

No there were no additional adapters. On my 2012 Chevy Equinox which has a straight arm the wiper worked perfectly. If you're not sure check the Bosch Wiper web site to see if it will work on your vehicle.

Not certain but I don't like these wipers. They stink in cold weather and skip across windshield very unhappy with them

Can't tell you if they are a replacement for your particular model, but they fit my YTH2454 perfectly and are a big upgrade from the oem blades I had previously always had on it.

Looks like you'll need two 15A blades for the Bosch ICON blades. I got this info from the vehicle parts finder on the Bosch website. http://www.boschautoparts.com/VehiclePartFinder/Pages/VehiclePartFinder.aspx

yes, they are. I was thinking the same thing, I did my research and they are the same ones, just a older model from the ones in the website. its all just looks on the new ones. There isn't really a big change. I 100% recommend them. =]

No I don't believe so. Make sure you match up your vehicle to the correct wiper size(s). Go to the Bosch Auto Parts site for more info.
