Today we're going to be taking a look at the round cross-bar for Yakima roof rack systems. This multi-purpose crossbar is going to supply the backbone for your aftermarket roof rack system. As you can see it's a round design. The round design fits all Yakima towers. Towers are sold separately and can be found here at etrailer.com. The bar provides stability to your roof-mounted racks and allows you to carry the accessories that secure your gear. A round bar roof rack system is going to be great for bike racks, water sport carriers, roof baskets and boxes, and much more.
The round style bar will accept accessories that clamp or strap around the bar. It's constructed of a vinyl-coated, galvanized steel so the bar itself is very strong and durable as well as rust and corrosion resistant. That nice vinyl coating provides slip resistance for your gear and keeps the bar protected. Now one bar is included. The diameter is 1 1/8 of an inch with a steel wall thickness of .085 inches. At etrailer.com we offer the bar in a variety of lengths to best fit your particular application.
A single bar is available in a 48-inch, 58-inch, 66-inch, and 78-inch length. It's going to be covered with a lifetime warranty. Please note that the crossbars do not include the endcaps. The endcaps are going to be included with the rack towers. Endcaps are also sold separately with part number Y8007026 at etrailer.com. That's going to do it for today's look at the round cross bar for Yakima roof rack systems.

Replaces a damaged crossbar or add another bar to your existing roof rack to help distribute a load on your roof with this half kit. Includes 1 steel RoundBar crossbar.I’m planning a trip to the boundary waters in June and needed a wider crossbar to be able to carry two canoes on the roof of my truck. This crossbar came two days earlier then I expected and is exactly what I needed. I couldn’t be happier with it and your great service.
This bar is a great replacement for the original ones supplied on the Yakima Rack & Roll trailer.
I've just installed the rack on our Tacoma. I ordered a single unit to mount near the windshield. When used with another rack (this one home made) on the back of the box we'll have a very steady way to transport long canoes and kayaks.
My order was different. I only needed half of everything. Natalie was great. Lots of help, made everything easy, and followed up. Shipping was fast, too. I recommend these folks.
It's a coated pipe what can you say
The product is great. The customer support I got From Lori was top notch!!
Quick deliver, and the bars look great.. thanks
etrailer is excellent...however, not too pleased with Yakima and these cross bars - second set in four years...they make them out of a steel that rusts quickly...better out of stainless or aluminum. Maybe that is their idea of planned obsolescence. I also learned not to install end caps...that accelerated the corrosive process.
Everything from etrailer is timely and of good quality! The Yakima crossbars are no exception - they are indestructible.
I have used Yakima products for decads, after two decades I got a new vehicle and I needed a wider set of bars. After two decades the products are still relatively easy to install, and fit tight and secure to my vehicle. Do take care to pay attention to the installation instructions and follow the recommended measurements very closely and the installation will go smoothly.
Sturdy, support the roof rack well
The Yakima roof rack system is an Outstanding product. I purchased the product to replace the OEM roof rack because it was too flimsy to carry the tandem bike mount and my bike. The Yakima roof rack is solid and provides me the peace of mind while hauling my bike on the roof of my car. etrailer provided the product for the best price as always.
I have used Yakima in the past so I know it will be a great product.
Alex J was very helpful in getting the order processed. And it was delivered in a quick time frame. All parts arrived well packaged with no damage.
The rack has been so useful since I purchased it. Staff at etrailer.com were exceptionally helpful in getting the best option for my car and answering questions. I recommend this company, for its 110% customer service, excellent prices and timely delivery.
Have been rocking my Yakima rack from etrailer.com for a year now. I am using rack in conjunction with a Tepui tent. Once I added the air deflector, I would say it's the perfect setup. The Yakima gives more clearance over the factory rack, so I was able to get my hands under it to secure the tent hardware. If you're thinking of upgrading your factory rack, I would not hesitate to use etrailer.com
Yakima Crossbars were as you would expect - steel bars coated in a soft black coating (be mindful when you are utilizing these with the top mounts as the clamp will eat through the soft coating when you tighten them down). I had issues with my yakima round bar setup as the brackets and tower system were allowing water to leak in. This is in no way reflective of what youll experience but Yakima has superb support. I spoke with them twice on my issue and out of their kindness they shipped me an entire setup to replace my existing one for free.
Bought as a pkg for my 2017 Golf R with Round Bars since I had a bunch of Yakima bike racks and a canoe gunwale rack for my old Yakima set up. Installation was easy with good instructions. All measurements from the Yakima site appear to be spot on.
etrailer.com shipped these out quickly and all parts arrived without damage.
Everything arrived as promised and earlier than expected just installed. Looks like it will do everything I need it to which is haul around paddleboards. So far so good!
The yellow pads on the crossbars are pool noodles secured by zip ties. They provide padding for a third or even a fourth kayak.
Great product and very easy to install! I called in to put my order in due to not trusting myself in getting one that fits my car. Jessica W. Was beyond professional and helpful in the process. She went also well above her position and tracked my order and sent additional information. Couldn’t be happier with the product and customer service!
The roof rack is great. Solid.
Yakima stuff is pretty good. If it were not so over priced (and this retailer gave the best deal) I'd rate it 4 stars. However, I know from past experience that Yakima bars, despite coating on the current bars that is significantly thinner than older bars, will rust if used near water. They sell this stuff for water sports! And then act surprised that it rusts. Since I have a lot of their stuff and old rusty bars I bought these as a replacement despite my misgivings.
The foregoing is NOT a criticism of this vendor who sold the stuff at a good price compared to what Yakima wants and delivered it promptly
These Yakima 66" round bars fit perfect on my Leer camper shell along with the Yakima side loader mounts. Fast delivery and helpful customer service ! Excellent ~
I bought both the roof rack and the cage from etrailer! Put everything on myself...easy peasy!

It’s working out great. I have sent another email a month or so ago requesting information on towers for roof racks and have got no response yet. I need roof racks and towers for my leer camper shell.
