Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Mazda CX-50 w/ Flush Rails

Question

Question:

I would like to add a Yakima roof rack to my 2023 Mazda CX-50. I have always found their products reliable and hope there is something you have that will fit my vehicle. It has the flush rails along the side of the roof if that helps.

That is helpful and we do have a Yakima roof rack that will attach to the flush rails on your 2023 Mazda CX-50. It is the roof rack by Yakima and it includes the following parts:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425

SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y64AR

SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine and RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers item # Y27AR

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204 to prevent theft.

Since you're a fan of Yakima's products you can also buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have the roof rack and your accessories all controlled by the same key.
