When you’re loading up heavy gear like kayaks, a cargo box, or camping equipment, you want a rack that feels secure from start to finish. The Thule WingBar Evo system includes two aluminum crossbars built for strength and stability with a 165-lb weight capacity. The solid construction gives you confidence that your load stays steady mile after mile.
Long highway drives can turn noisy when air hits flat bars the wrong way. These aero-style crossbars are shaped to slice through the wind, reducing drag and sound. The top channels have split rubber strips that stay in place around your mounts to help cut down on whistling and vibration while you drive.
Mounting new gear shouldn’t mean trimming rubber or fighting your setup. The top channels feature split strips that open for easy slide-in mounting and then close back up once the accessory is in place. That means faster installs and clean, sealed channels without extra steps or tools.
From hauling bikes and kayaks in summer to skis and roof boxes in winter, these bars are ready for whatever adventure you’re planning. The design fits both channel-mount accessories and traditional clamp-on mounts, giving you flexibility across your favorite gear setups.
When you park at a trailhead or overnight stop, it’s good to know your setup is protected. The rack is compatible with Thule One-Key System locks (sold separately), so you can secure both the bars and your mounted accessories using a single key system for simple theft deterrence.
Ratings & Reviews
Both cross bars came in with a little dent on about the same spot as if the shipping box got hit and resulted in a small but noticeable couple of dents on both.
Installed them anyway to be able to use them this weekend but for the price I paid would have expected them in pristine conditions.
These were received promptly and in good shape. I did have a question about positioning these things in relation to a moonroof, which could not be answered by the rep I talked to. It would have been nice if he would have found the answer. I will try calling Thule directly.
Solid, dependable and easy to take off occasionally so I can go thru the car wash. I've used 3 different kayak saddles on my crossbars and they all fit as expected.
Appreciative that etrailer organizes it so that I didn't have to think too hard/figure out what Thule equipment would work best for my 2015 VW Passat TDI SE. It takes some time to install, moving the bars back and forth so that the padding lines up as best possible for a naked roof; overall, very pleased.
My Thule roof rack is everything I expected it to be, I’m very pleased. I had a very good experience dealing with etrailer and will definitely do business with them in the future
Second part of the Evo Thule roofrack I wanted to mount on the Prius: exactly what you need for "Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack".
This was the part I needed to add Thule kayak lift to my roof rack. System costs a fortune, but all is well made and works great.
An excellent product, like all of Thule's components. I would caution customers to be sure that these bars will work with the attachments you plan to use. Some require adapter kits, which might not be needed on a different style of bar. Etrailer's customer service is very helpful & has very responsive experts to answer all questions.
Thule stuff always seemed so well engineered and made. A pleasure
I really love my roof rack I got from this site. At first, I was having a heard time trying to figure out the right fit for my 2017 Acura MDX. I did a research only and watched videos on youtube. I even purchased the same thule roof rack from [online vendor] but it wasn't the right fit. When I made my way to this site, they not just have the right recommendation, but they also have the right parts for my vehicle. If I ever needed anything for my vehicle and they have it on this site, I will have no trouble getting it from here. I am a happy customer and I just wanted to say thank you!
etrailer.com was excellent to do business with. Their website is informative, complete and easy to navigate. Phone service to help confirm availability of my product and their general knowledge of their products was impressive. Product arrived on time and in good shape. Their order tracking system is also very good. I’m very pleased with the Thule Wingbar Evo 135 racks For my BMW X5 with flush roof rails. They are super sturdy, solidly mounted and look good on the vehicle. Mine will be mainly used for surfboards and SUP’s. The assembly and installation was a breeze. The included written instructions would have been sufficient for a seamless installation but I also watched one of many YouTube videos that demonstrated very clearly every step of assembly and installation for this specific set of racks.
Love the racks!! I highly recommend etrailer.com for your roof rack needs.
The towers are whistling like crazy at speeds over 45mph and have tried moving them back and forth to different positions to see if it would fix it but it hasn’t. Installed them identical to your instructional videos. I was going to see if anyone had suggested using silicone to seal any gaps before I return them. Not happy at all about paying over $xxx for this system only for the feet to sound like something bought from [chain superstore]. Please advise.
I love my new roof rack! It looks good, works great, and the video link attached to the email made installation a breeze! I highly recommend this rack.
I’ve had my Thule roof rack for a year. It’s sturdy and easily handles two kayaks. Love it!

Bought this as a set along with a set of locks. They did not have the locks in stock, so when I went ahead of canceled that portion of the order, they were able to process and ship it out the next day. It took roughly 1 week for it to arrive.
Following the instructions they provide you with was fairly simple, there was a QR code scan for a video that you can watch as well. I assembled this along with ski carriers that I had as well. I did struggle a little bit with the spacing I needed to fit my snowboard, but it wasn't too much of a hassle.
After assembling it, I was impressed with how it looked and also how stable and tight it was when I was trying to shake it around. As for the test drive, I was very impressed with how there was no wind whistle and they did not fall off (peaked at 70mph).
Overall, I would say it's definitely worth it to buy a good quality cross bar set. And more importantly it was worth it to purchase it from a retailer that does a good job processing and shipping your order without any issues!
Good quality and easy to set up on my 2016 jeep Cherokee! Happy with the new cross bar setup!
Superb experience with etrailer.com. From order to delivery in 2 days. All components in perfect condition and very useful video links to help assemble and mount. I am very impressed by the overall customer experience so far given by etrailer!
Solid crossbars for my 2018 4Runner. Didn't notice any lag or noise on the freeway.
Etrailer has the BEST customer service bar none!
Thule rack looks great on my Kia Telluride. The pieces took a while to get to me because they were on backorder but it's not etrailer, they were on backorder everywhere. I messed up a piece of the rubber while installing and etrailer sent me another one free of charge. Would definitely recommend etrailer.
Thule gutter feet and crossbars are an excellent option for a Tin Top Samurai. I also installed the one key locking knobs. Another top shelf purchase from etrailer.
