The flush design of the Yakima BaseLine FX keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline for a sleek, clean look. Nothing sticks out past the towers, so you get a streamlined, factory appearance instead of bulky bars jutting out to the sides. The integrated crossbar and tower system makes it look like it was built into the vehicle from day one.
Driving with roof bars can sometimes mean dealing with wind noise, but this setup helps keep things quiet. The aero-style crossbars are shaped to reduce drag, while the push-down rubber strips in the top channels fill in gaps that would otherwise catch air. The strips also help cut vibration and keep the ride comfortable without constant whistling overhead.
Whether it’s kayaks, skis, or a rooftop box for a long haul, these crossbars are ready for it all. They work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can use your existing gear or swap attachments for different adventures. The design supports most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers for year-round flexibility.
With a 165-lb weight capacity and aluminum construction, these bars are built to carry serious gear without flexing or rattling. The durable finish holds up against weather and road grime while maintaining that sharp black look trip after trip. It’s a setup you can depend on when loading up for camping weekends or cross-country travel.
You can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) for theft deterrence of both the rack and your mounted accessories. It’s an easy way to keep your gear safe when you leave the vehicle parked at the trailhead or overnight at camp.

fast and correct delivery
Great fit, holds tight to roof.
Order was as expected, all good here!
These fit as advertised and work just fine. The customer support, on the other hand, was outstanding.
These work well but were not as easy to put on as I expected. My car is small. I ended up having to increase the distance between the two towers by 1/4" to make them fit but now they seem great!
amazing to have something that fits perfectly. a bit complex to set up the first time and takes a few minutes each time, but works great and definitely worth it!
Communication was great. Items were packed nicely and arrived on time
antastic company and wonderful service, one of the racks was the wrong size for my car so they were able to help find the right size for my Car. Absolutely great company, with fast shipping and just the products I needed for my Car!. Very helpful, and overall smooth transaction and service. I will order from this company again very soon!. shipping came in a very strong and solid box. I highly recommend buying from them!. 10/10 all the way!.
Bought as a pkg for my 2017 Golf R with Round Bars since I had a bunch of Yakima bike racks and a canoe gunwale rack for my old Yakima set up. Installation was easy with good instructions. All measurements from the Yakima site appear to be spot on.
etrailer.com shipped these out quickly and all parts arrived without damage.
Relatively easy to install on my VW Golf (etrailer videos are very helpful) and sooooo useful with my Yakima skybox. Not much road noise, so I can leave the rack on even when I am not using it.
The installation was super easy, and despite a long time stuck in shipping the delivery itself was extremely fast, and the package arrived in spotless condition. The manuals were very easy to follow, and the end result is absolutely amazing. They provided a nice, flush finish and hold the racks down tight.
The racks are easy to remove and reinstall once they are set up. My only complaint is that Yakama only seems to make the base clips in one length. This limits the distance that I can separate the bars to 32 inches. They don't reach under the door sill if I move them further back. If they stamped them out in a few different lengths one would have more options in terms of distance between the bars.
