Wingbar Evo 135 (53”), Aluminum | automotive-bike-racks

I used to have oem toyota and honda bars. This is really a pro level product. I did a lot of research, yakima vs this vs oem. No regrets. I have a 2021 honda odyssey and it was a bit tricky to get all the parts that fit. The bars should be 60 inch (for this car). They stick out a bit but that is great, gives so much more room on the roof. Looks stylish anyway. Choose the color that contrasts with the color of your car, you want the bars to be easily seen, for safety. My car is white, the bars black. The only feet that work are thule Rapid Crossroad. Dont worry about the straps, they are strong and have steel inside the rubber. They may be hard to find nowadays, got them at REI. No whistle at any speed with windows closed. With windows open i can hear some whistling at low speeds, doesn't bother me. Follow the correct orientation- like the airplane wing. Do get the locks on the feet- the caps don't hold very tight without them. My old thule gear (surfboard and kayak holders) needed longer bolts (1 cm longer each) but otherwise fit this bar. Get stainless carriage bolts m6 thread, they are better than thule black ones which rust. I got some from amzn / uxcell, some from ebay. The rubber tracks on the bars are great- so much easier to hold stuff and not have it slide, like the kayaks, when loading them and otherwise.

These are fine cross bars. Note: There are a pair of bars in each package.

It was complicated to put together. I like a challenge. But it works fine...

Perfect fit. I tried a few used options on EBay and none of them were as advertised. These were the right size and style to match the base system I already had.

I have a 2017 Kia Niro. I wanted to mount these bars so that I could carry the Thule Motion XT (Size Large) Cargo Box on my vehicle. To get these bars installed, I purchased the following: - Thule Fit Kit 186076 (for flush railings) - Thule Foot Pack 710601 (for Evo roof rack system to be mounted on flush railings) - Thule 47" WingBar Evo Load Bars 711220 (this page product) I also bought the Thule one-key system so that I could use one key for all the Thule items I bought (4x locks for the roof rack system and 2x locks for the cargo box). The installation directions take some time to figure out, but overall they aren't too bad. It took more time for me to research what roof rack system I needed for my vehicle, than it did for me to actually install it all. I love this roof rack system! It's well built, aerodynamic, doesn't affect the gas mileage, and it doesn't make any noise. I also really like that I have the option to take this roof rack system off my vehicle if I wanted to. Thule makes great products, but you definitely pay for it. The high price tag is the only downside, but when it comes to a roof rack system, I'd rather go for quality and be safe rather than be sorry.

Update. After reading that the top strip has a tendency to fly off, I ensured mine were installed properly and securely. In Texas the speed limit is 80mph. My strip blew halfway off, but I heard it flapping and stopped. I resecured the strip and each day ensured it was seated properly. Today at 65 mph it blew off. I cannot find a replacement. At $40 for the strip, VERY POOR DESIGN!! Thule make a great product. Bars are silent on a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness. Cons: assembly is HORRIBLE. Thule need to preassemble the top strips. Include a paper manual. 4 stars for being too much like the devil Satan Ikea.

It's MUCH quieter than my previous roof rack systems. Goes together easier. Seems sturdy enough. It's rather fussy (lots of parts and sliders and little bits of rubber/plastic to insert/install to make it smoother (and quieter). Having said that, Amazon got it to me in deplorable condition. Box beat up, missing the end caps. I was supposed to be "like new". Thule USA, however, answered my query about what parts were SUPPOSED to be in the box by sending me the missing end caps. Very kind. Excellent service. Thule has always made great (if pricey) gear. I will stick with them.

I love these bars, great quality and sturdy!

produit de bonne qualité

付属のゴムは真ん中から２つに割いてから、はめ込みます。最初はゴムの規格が違っているのかと思い、返品を考えました。

C117系claシューティングブレークに付けました。風きり音も想像以下の音量で満足しています。ルーフボックスを取り付けてもしっかりして安心感があります。 製品の内側の金属エッジ面取りが不十分なので取り付け時に手指を切らないよう気をつけてください。

前回まで使用していた、ステンレスの角タイプからこのタイプに変えました。まず、付けてい走っていることに気づかない。静かです。前回のは、風きり音をどうしたら消せるか考えていた。現在は付けっぱなしで走行しています。
