Can 2 Bike Racks Fit on Yakima JetStream Roof Rack for 2016 Volkswagen Golf
Question:
Hello eTrailer team, I am interested in purchasing a Yakima roof rack for my 2016 TSI Volkswagen Golf 5-door hatchback. I would like to know if this roof-rack can hold 2 bikes instead of just 1. Thank you!

Yes, the 50" Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and TimberLine Towers # Y33TR can easily accommodate 2 roof mounted bike racks. In all honesty you can probably fit about 4 bike racks on these crossbars if you alternate the way they are facing.
If you don't already have bike racks then I recommend using the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 if you want to keep the front wheel on or the Yakima HighSpeed # Y02115 if you're looking for one where you take the fornt wheel off.
These are really nice bike racks that are very easy to use plus since your whole roof setup will be Yakima you can get the SKS Lock Core Kit # Y07208 to add locks to your roof rack and your bike racks. All of the cores will be the same which means you only need 1 key for everything.
