Yakima 48 Inch RoundBar - 1 Pair

These look great, feel solid, and I know they hold up to time and the elements, as this is my second pair. The first pair is still on my other car, looking great and doing the job worry-free. Synthetic coating is easy to scratch if you're an idiot, and I definitely scratched part of it off during installation. What does that make me?

5 STARS :)

Bought a set of 48's for the roof rack on my 2010 Hoda Civic that we're using down here in South America. The 48's fit perfect using q-towers with zero overhang. I'd hate to have anything longer sticking outboard of such a small car, lest I should have to wear a helmit all the time getting in and out.

I have used Yakima products for years, and have always found them ultra dependable.

These are the right fit for the 1998 Subaru Forester; any other size and I'd risk knocking myself or my passengers out!

These appear to be very well made. The heavy and stout feel should equal longevity and security. The bars are also coated to keep weather from wearing away at the metal.

Since the end caps aren't included with the bars (God knows why not) you also need to purchase those. They're surprisingly important to keep moisture out to keep your wonderful bars from rusting over time. I've considered putting pvc tape or Loctite on the cap inserts to assure no elements infiltrate the bars.

If you're not sure if this is the size you need visit the Yakima.com website, choose the "fit my car" feature and search for your vehicle make and model. It will suggest exactly what's right for you. Likewise, it is also important to consider what you are planning to transport (especially if it is a boat) and make sure the width of the item will fit on these bars securely.

These are the foundation to your Yakima accessories. Fits great on top of my Subaru Outback. I guess I must have bought my rack system before locks were invented as there is no way for me to secure the rack(without spending $150+ on what looks to be a newer mounting system). That is my disappointment with the rack system. In the future I will be purchasing a Thule.

No flex in these puppies. They have a nice plastic covering to prevent rust. Although they should come with the plastic caps

The racks are really easy to steal !! I had the racks pried off my Honda Civic ! $400 dollars down the drain ! Be aware !!

These hold up just fine. Worth the money and a good brand name

Very sturdy and durable. The paint and plastic end-caps will come off before these die. I simply sand and re-paint them before each snowboarding season. I super-glued the end-caps on and no longer have issues with them :) Yakima rates them for around 170#, but I am confident they could hold more; I'm sure that's just a precaution to cover their butt.

Well built and highly versatile and very easy to install. Much more economical than Thule.

So these bars are good QUALITY. But I've had Yakima and Thule stuff and Thule is definitely better with their square bars. Stuff just stays up there better for sure.

These bars work very well. I tried to use my factory rack to haul my freeride bike around, but the racks were too flimsy. these 48 inch bars fit my Subaru perfectly and they provide a great platform to carry my freeride sled.

Thick and heavy. These look stronger than most factory racks.

Good bars, very rugged. It's tough to line them up on the car so that they are even on both sides (purely for aesthetics). I wonder if they have ever considered a tear drop shape for aerodynamics.

wow! great product! great service! best price I found anywhere! racks were assembled and mounted in minutes after they arrived! thanks so much.

What can you say. Metal tubes called cross bars. They work, they are strong and they are matte black.

Great Price!!

I've had my rack for 5 years and 3 cars now and it's been absolutely great. These crossbars are super super strong. I've loaded these things up with 100's of pounds of gear and driven across the country--they were flawless. A friend of mine in NC even rolled his car with his racks on (not on purpose) and the rack held up. The roof didn't. I was pretty impressed. I couldn't tell if he was...

Capable of hauling anything. Very easy to install and very solid set of bars. I have had these bars for years and they're still like new.
