Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 VW Atlas For Carrying Bike Racks
Question:
What roof rack do you recommend for a 2023 VW Atlas? I need it to carry a bike rack.

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. You will need the Crossbars # TH711420 along with the Feet # TH710401 to attach this on your factory raised roof rails. These crossbars have a 2 piece channel seal allowing you to easily slide accessories like a bike rack in the channels.
For a bike rack I recommend the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004. This rack is capable of carrying a bike up to 44lbs with 3" wide tires. It secures the bike by clamping the frame and allows you to leave the front wheel on your bike. We do have the Fat Tire Kit # TH5981 which will allow you to secure a bike with up to a 5" wide tire.
The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800 will provide you with 8 lock cylinders. Four of these will allow you to secure the roof rack to your Atlas while each bike rack will use 2 cylinders to lock the bike rack to the crossbars and the clamp around the bike frame.
