When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or a fully loaded cargo box, you need bars that can handle the weight without flexing or rattling. The Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack is built from aluminum and rated for up to 165 lbs, so it stays solid even on long highway drives or rough backroads. The 53" bars give you stable support for wide gear setups without feeling bulky or oversized.
Wind noise can get old fast, especially on long trips. The WingBar Evo’s aerodynamic shape helps reduce the drag that causes whistling and vibration. Its top channels use split rubber strips that seal back around your mounts, so you don’t have to trim them to fit. The result is a smoother, quieter ride while keeping your gear locked in place mile after mile.
From cargo boxes to kayak carriers or ski racks, this system is ready for whatever season you’re in. The aero-style crossbars work with both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories, giving you the flexibility to use the gear you already own or expand later with new attachments. One rack setup covers all your outdoor hauls—bikes in summer, skis in winter, and gear for every road trip in between.
When you’re parked at a trailhead or campsite overnight, it’s good to know your rack can be locked down. The WingBar Evo system works with Thule’s One-Key System locks (sold separately) to deter theft of the rack and any channel-mounted gear. It’s a simple upgrade that adds peace of mind when your vehicle is loaded up and out of sight.
Installing the rack is straightforward thanks to the Evo Fixpoint feet that connect directly to fixed mounting points on your roof. Once tightened down, the setup feels sturdy and well-balanced. With everything fitting neatly into place, you can load up confidently knowing the bars are secure before every adventure.
Ratings & Reviews
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!
Got exactly what I needed! Perfect fit on the 2024 Q7.
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!
The fixed point feet fit perfectly on the EVO cross bar, but typical of Thule the channel for the feet kept them 2” to far apart. Thule wants you to always buy complete new sets of everything. I extended the channel by 1” on each side. Everything fit perfectly.
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!
Great customer service and product selection. Fast shipping, item arrived in great shape. I purchased a trailer from etrailer over 10 years ago, I always like to return and purchase more items. Highly recommended.
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.
I'm using these Thule Evo Fixpoint Feet #710701 in conjunction with the FitKit #87003 to mount my DropRack XL to the rooftop of my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Eventually I'll get a Thule Rooftop Cargo Box to transport our RV camping supplies for which we don't have enough room in the Jeep or our Aliner RV camper. For now, I'm also using the setup to transport 4' x 8' plywood sheets for a DIY home project. This is the perfect solution for a multi-use application that'll enable us to accomplish more projects around the house as well as on the road.
Thule custom rack feet are always rock solid. Another great set.
