This 60" bar length is excellent in carrying my 2 sea touring kayaks (17' & 16 plus, and my 2 mountain bikes with wheels forks. The Yakima racks were plenty strong at high speeds. My car, a 1995 Subaru wagon. This rack system was also perfect for my 1999 Saab 9-5 (with different clips). Bottom line, if you need interior cargo space, get yourself a pair of 60" bars. They work great.
