Helpful Expert Reply:
The Thule roof racks available for the 2018 Subaru Outback have a capacity of 110 pounds no matter which bar style is being used. There are roof racks that are rated higher though so to maximize the capacity of the vehicle (which according to the owner's manual is 176 pounds on models that have factory side rails that run front to back or 150 pounds for models with crossbars integrated into the rails).
All of the Yakima roof rack options are rated for 165 pounds. For a Yakima roof rack you can use the following set ups:
JetStream bars # Y00425
RidgeLine Towers # Y00145
Clips # Y06028
or
CoreBars # Y00421
RidgeLine Towers # Y00145
Clips # Y06028
