Expert Answers about Roof Bike Racks


  • Recommended Roof Rack For A 2018 Chevy Equinox Hauling A Kayak And Bike
  • Hey William, If your 2018 Chevy Equinox has rails that run from front to back then I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and TimberLine Towers # Y33TR. If you have a naked roof then you'll need the following roof rack components: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK488 To haul the kayak you can can clamp on a carrier like the Rhino-Rack...

  • Recommendation for Roof Mount Bike Rack for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Thule WingBar Roof Rack
  • In order to mount your mountain bikes to a Thule WingBar roof rack, # TH711500, # TH480R, # THKIT1656, on your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you will want a roof-mount bike rack. The bars are also available in black using # TH711520. The bike rack I recommend is the Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier # TH599000. This bike rack supports your mountain bikes at the wheel, and will not contact the bike frame or require the removal of either wheel. The rack installs on the AeroBlade crossbar...

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch Available For A 2019 Honda Civic Sedan With A Center Exhaust
  • Hi Hamza, Honda Civic models with a center exhaust unfortunately prevent the installation of a trailer hitch so the only way to haul your bike(s) would be to use a trunk mounted bike rack or roof rack mounted bike rack. If you'd prefer a trunk mounted bike rack then I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. If you want to go with a roof rack mounted back rack and don't currently have a roof rack then you'll need the following components: Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 BaseLine...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For A Turbo Vado SL On A 2021 Kia Niro PHEV
  • Hi James, Even with your e-bike weighing only 38lbs the compatible trunk-mounted bike racks for your 2021 Kia Niro PHEV unfortunately just aren't going to have enough capacity. Even though you'd only be using one of the spots on the rack the extra weight is going to wear on the rack and eventually break it and you'd be without a warranty. Instead you'll need a roof rack: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425 SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush...

  • Are There Roof Bike Racks Capable of Supporting a 65LB E-Bike With Fat Tires?
  • With Fat tire E-Bikes you are going to be limited to hitch mounted bike racks like the Hollywood Racks # HLY64FR this is due to the weight of the bikes. Roof racks like the Swagman # S64705 you found are going to top out at 45lbs for a couple of reasons. The first is most vehicle roofs are not going to be rated to carry such heavy loads and they are not the most stable side to side with the smaller profile of a roof rack. Even with it on your truck bed it is also a large amount of weight...

  • Would a Hitch or Roof Rack be a Better Option for Bike Rack on 2018 Honda Fit?
  • I recommend using a hitch and hitch-mounted bike rack on your 2018 Honda Fit for a couple reasons. The first is convenience; it is going to be much easier for you to mount your bikes on a hitch-mounted rack as opposed to a roof rack where you'd have to lift the bike on top of your car as opposed to simply placing it in the hitch rack. The other reason is cost; a roof rack will be far pricier than a hitch, and you can either pocket those savings or use it to get a premium bike rack. As...

  • 12MM x 10MM Ford Adapter For Thule FastRide Roof Rack Bike Carrier
  • Thule offers their Adapters # TH58BV which will allow you to secure your 12mm x 100mm axle on the FastRide Roof Bike Rack # TH95JV. If you have a different roof mounted bike rack please let me know which model you have so I can verify if this adapter will work or if you will need a different adapter.

  • Rhino-Rack or Yakima Platform Rack for Carrying Bikes on an SUV
  • If you're planning on loading bikes on a platform then the Yakima LockNLoad would be better than the Rhino-Rack Pioneer simply because the LockNLoad is a bit more user friendly when it comes to installing different types of carriers. The 2 most common sizes for the LockNLoad are the 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044-39 and the 60" Long x 54" Wide # Y05045-39. All of the larger style require a 3-crossbar mounting system. If you can let me know what SUV you will be using for this I can make...

  • Kayak Carriers, Ski Racks, and Bike Racks for 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
  • I'll start off with the ski rack for your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo since that is fairly simple. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR574. This is capable of holding 4 pairs of skis, has an aluminum construction for corrosion resistance, and comes with locks to keep your skis secure. Three kayaks will be a bit more challenging. Since space will be limited even with an aftermarket roof rack I recommend using the Malone FoldAway-5 # MAL38FR along with a J-style...

  • Alternative Solution for Hitch Mounted Accessories on 2019 Audi A6 Quattro Sedan
  • The Stealth Hitch you're referring to fits select models of the Audi A3. Unfortunately, nobody makes a hitch that will fit your 2019 Audi A6 Quattro. If you were planning to use the hitch for a bike rack, the only option would be a trunk mounted bike rack like the Malone Hanger # MPG2139 The other alternative would be to add a roof rack like the Thule WingBar Evo rack which consists of # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145202. This would allow you to carry a bike with a rack like the FrontLoader...

  • How to Transport an e-Bike with a 2021 BMW M440i Coupe
  • I have a way for you to transport your 50 lb e-Bike with your 2021 BMW 440i Coupe, but there unfortunately aren't any trailer hitches confirmed to fit your vehicle so we'll have to use a roof rack. This isn't ideal because your e-Bike is heavier than the average bike, but unless you have a different vehicle to use this will be your best bet. The Yakima JetStream roof rack system is the best option for your vehicle and it uses the following parts: - 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 -...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2023 Toyota Camry for Bike Rack, Kayaks, and Stand Up Paddle Board
  • For your 2023 Camry I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36643. This is a Class II hitch so you will have more options for accessories compared the the Class I Curt # C11576. This will allow you to use a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR. However, we do not carry a hitch mounted kayak/SUP carrier and I'm fairly certain you will have a hard time finding one for a 1-1/4" hitch. If you aren't able to find one I recommend adding a roof rack like the Yakima JetStream which requires...

  • Will a 17 Foot Kayak Fit on a Yakima Rack N Roll Trailer
  • Hey Jaime, yes it does look like that the Yakima DeckHand Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04083-2, Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07014, and the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y68DJ should work with the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. This trailer has a max spread of 48", so theoretically everything should fit without knowing the width of your kayak.

  • Recommended Bike Rack For A Fat Tire Bike On A TruXedo Elevate Ladder Rack System
  • Hey TJ, The TruXedo Elevate Rack System # TX84NV has 3.79" wide crossbars so you'll need to go with a rack that can mount into the t-slots like the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes # TH598004-FB. This rack can fit tires up to 5" wide and has a 44lb capacity. I've attached a short video below where Adam will walk your through all of the features of this rack.

  • Can The Thule Sidearm TH594 Be Made To Work With ProRac Crossbars?
  • Hello Luis. It may be possible to use your Thule Sidearm TH594 bike racks on the ProRac on your pop up camper. Do these ProRac bars have a T-track on top? Based on what I can find online it appears that we do, although we do not carry this brand so I am not 100% sure about that. If the bars do have T-tracks, you can use the Thule # Xadapt1. This will allow you to mount your rack to the T-track. If the ProRac crossbars do not have T-tracks I am afraid there is no way to mount the Sideam...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For a 2023 Toyota 4Runner
  • I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2023 Toyota 4Runner. For this you will need the Crossbars # TH711420 and Feet # TH710401 to fit your raised roof rails. The WingBar Evo uses a 2 piece channel seal allowing you to easily slide channel mounted accessories in and out without having to remove or trim portions of the channel seal. The Thule One-Key System # TH450800 will give you 8 lock cylinders of which 4 will allow you to secure the Thule feet to your 4Runner. The other...

  • Solution for Carrying Bike Rack With 2022 Mini Cooper JCW Convertible
  • I do have a solution, but there are no custom fit hitches available for any version of the 2022 Mini Cooper. Since you have the convertible that also rules out a trunk bike rack and a roof rack bike rack. What you can do is take the # E17 to a fabricator and have them fashion a custom hitch for you. This would allow you to use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B.

  • Will The Sairs Bones EX2 Damage The Roof Extension On A 2022 Honda HR-V
  • Hello Kevin. The straps on the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR will be just fine if they make contact with the roof extension on your 2022 Honda HR-V. The straps are anchored to the hatch, so most of the strain will be there instead of the roof extension. Even with the loaded weight of the bikes you will not be in danger of breaking anything. Saris actually shows an example in their instruction of this rack on a car with a similar roof extension which you can see below. The straps are designed...

  • Roof Rack For 2018 Mini Cooper 2-Door With Bare Roof
  • Hey Aloisia (which is a very cool name btw); thanks for the question and I checked with all our manufacturers and found there is actually only one roof rack that will work on your 2-door 2018 Mini Cooper with a bare roof, but it won't accommodate the Hullavator, I'm sorry to say. The only rack you can add to your Mini is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. These are 48 inch crossbars and will allow you to mount the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 which is 13 inches...
