Roof Rack And Fork-Mount Bike Carrier Recommendation For 2015 Honda CR-V

Question

Question:

I see on your website you have a roof rack for a 2015 CRV with a naked roof. Can I use a bicycle fork mount attachment on these cross rails? If so, how is the fork mount attached to the rails?

The Rola roof rack you referenced is designed for 2012 through 2015 Honda CR-V with the flush factory side rails. You mentioned you have a naked roof and we have other roof rack options for that roof style but the Rola does not fit a naked roof. If the roof on your CR-V looks similar to the attached photo, you would need a roof rack for a naked roof.

If you have a naked roof on your CR-V the roof rack I recommend is the Rhino Rack Roof Rack made up of # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284. This roof rack has quiet, aerodynamic crossbars and has a matte silver finish.

The bike carrier I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Bike Carrier, part # RBC036. This is a fork-mount carrier and will accommodate bikes with tires up to 2.7 inches wide. If you do have the flush mount rails on your CR-V, this bike carrier will work with the crossbars of the 59681 as well.

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…
