Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Can load 2 canoes or a canoe and 2 kayaks with ease. This is a great rack for those who don't want the heavy and bulky cage style racks. Round is classic and looks the best.



Cons

Not so with round bars.

Because the caps are fused, you can't cut them apart with a hacksaw.

Although it did dampen the noise, it was still loud enough to be annoying. Also, with a preponderance of driving at 65-75 mph, mpg is off by 5-6 percent.

Quality


So easy to install and very sturdy when mounted


This bar met that challenge and is working perfectly.


After yrs of hauling lumber and surfboards, the plastic covers were splitting on the old crossbars.

Shipping


I thought it would never arrive do to a delivery snafu but it was worth the wait.


They arrived in new condition in a timely manner.

Packaging/appearance


Would be nice if end caps were included as well and did not have to be ordered separately!

Competitiveness


Yakima has good products and less expensive than other brands.


I use them in conjunction with yakima hully rollers and mako aero mounts.


They work as well as any other yakima product works.

    As expensive as these are they should at least come with the bar end caps

    Make sure you order 2 sets of clips along with towers and poles

    Im half way done installing this system on my 2013 crv waiting on my second order of clips and it seems sturdy enough just not very good looking


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As im sitting here after spending 350 for this system which is incredibly overpriced think about it each set of clips which are only 2 pieces of 434 metal is 2030 dollars each i realize that i should have bought the 3rd party rails and cross bars for my honda
