The flush design of the Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline, giving your setup a clean, factory look. Because there’s no crossbar overhang, the rack blends in and maintains a low profile instead of sticking out on either side. The integrated crossbar and tower design makes it look like it belongs on your vehicle from day one.
When you’re hauling gear at highway speeds, wind noise can be a real distraction. The aerodynamic JetStream-style bars help smooth airflow over the top, reducing drag and wind noise. The push-down rubber strips in the top channels help seal out the wind and vibration while still letting you easily mount channel-style accessories. It’s a quieter ride that feels more refined mile after mile.
This rack is ready for any season or destination. It works with most bike, watersport, snow, and cargo carriers that mount either through the top channels or clamp around the bars. Whether it's kayaks in summer or a cargo box for road trips, the 44-3/4" long aluminum bars open up plenty of ways to bring extra gear without cramping cabin space.
You can load this rack with confidence thanks to its all-aluminum construction and 165-lb weight capacity. That’s enough muscle for kayaks, luggage boxes, or other outdoor equipment while keeping weight down for easier handling. The black finish gives it a clean look that resists corrosion and holds up to rough weather along the way.
If you want to keep your setup secure, you can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores—sold separately—to lock both the rack and channel-mount accessories in place. It’s a simple upgrade that keeps your gear protected wherever your trip takes you.

Great!
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.
