When you’re loading up kayaks, canoes, or a cargo box, you want bars that can take the weight and keep everything steady. These Yakima RoundBars are made from galvanized steel with a black vinyl coating that resists corrosion and helps them handle the elements. With a weight capacity of 165 lbs, they give you the backbone you need for hauling your favorite gear on road trips or weekend adventures.
Installing a roof rack on a bare roof doesn’t have to be complicated. This setup includes 2 RoundBars, 4 BaseLine towers, 4 adapters, and a custom fit kit made specifically for naked roofs. Everything works together as one system, so you can get the rack mounted securely and ready for use without piecing together separate parts.
Whether you’re driving through salt air at the coast or rain on the interstate, rust can be a real issue for steel bars. The black vinyl coating shields the metal underneath from moisture and grime, helping the bars stay strong and looking good season after season. You get durability that matches your travel habits.
If you want to keep your rack safe when parked overnight or at the trailhead, these crossbars are ready for Yakima’s Same Key System lock cores (sold separately). Once added, they help deter theft of the rack itself so you can leave it installed with more peace of mind.
From kayak cradles to roof boxes and bike mounts, these round bars work with accessories that clamp around them. That means you can easily use your existing gear across different trips—whether it’s paddling in summer or hauling skis in winter—without having to switch out your entire rack setup.

I left the end caps off and the rust issue I had with previous bars is no longer a problem since water is not trapped in the bars.
