The Malone AirFlow2 roof rack lets you carry gear and accessories on the roof of your vehicle with raised, factory side rails. This complete roof rack system includes 2 aluminum, aerodynamic crossbars and 4 towers. The full-length crossbars extend past the towers to give you more mounting space for carriers, and the towers have built-in locks to protect the rack from theft. The rack clamps onto your raised side rails and tightens down with the included tool, so it's easy to remove and install.
Aerodynamic Shape
The AirFlow2's Aerodynamic shape helps control air flow over and under the bar to significantly decrease wind noise and vibration even at highway speeds. This decreases the need to add a fairing to your roof rack. The aero-style bar also reduces drag and helps maintain fuel efficiency.
Lightweight, Aluminum Crossbars
The black crossbars are made of aluminum, which makes them strong, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion. The bars also have plastic endcaps to protect the interiors from the elements and to give your roof rack a finished look.
Durable Towers with Built-In Security
The towers are made of molded nylon that won't fade or wear down when exposed to the elements. Each tower includes a nylon cover with a built-in lock to deter would-be thieves from removing the rack from your roof. The covers also protect the towers' interior and hardware from the elements.
Easy Installation with Rubber-Coated Steel Clamps
The towers attach to your vehicle's raised, factory side rails with rubber-coated steel clamps. The rubber coating provides a superior grip on your side rails and protects them from damage during installation and use.
To tighten, simply turn the bolt inside the tower assembly with the included installation tool until the clamps are snug. Once assembled, the towers and crossbars stay together as one unit, which makes removing, storing, and reinstalling the system a snap. To remove, simply remove the cover and loosen the bolts inside the towers with the installation tool.
Channel and Clamp-On Accessories
These crossbars have built-in top channels with strips that allow you to carry channel-mounted accessories on your roof. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet.
The AirFlow2 includes full-length crossbars that extend past the towers. The increased length gives you more space to mount accessories and carriers to your roof rack. The bars are compatible with most universal, clamp-on accessories and carriers.

I gave overall five stars based on ease of installation, customer service, and quality of product for the price paid. These are not Thule or Yakima bars, which you would want if you were going to do heavy off-road Overlanding and rooftop tent set ups. But the weight of 165 pounds that they hold is more than enough for what I need. I plan on carrying a single kayak, or a single paddleboard, or a light cargo basket with extra hiking gear. The installation is straightforward and easy. Even coming with the Allen wrench that you need to tighten them on might take a half hour overall to install. They look great on my Subaru outback wilderness, however, I will say they are very, very noisy with the sunroof open! They do come with a strip of rubber like gasket that goes on the underside of the bar I have yet to install. That is supposed to help with the noise and I'm sure that it does. I will update my review as soon as that is done. One of the towers came to broken and customer service was exceptionally quick responding and sending me a new tower within two days! Thank you, etrailer!

I chose these crossbars because there were already a number of reviews for the 2023 Forester Wilderness, which is what I was fitting for. They were super easy to put on (except the rubber strips that go underneath, those were too stiff in the cold). My set came with three left and only one right endcap, but etrailer sent me out a replacement set right away, and all was well! Have been driving with them for over a month now, and the don't seem too noisy, and work great for a fraction of the price of other brands.
I have purchased a number of things through etrailer now, and have never had anything but the best experience. Thanks!
by: Robert Seng04/10/2024
The box looks like it had been opened and re-sealed. Inside, I found that one of the rail brackets had already been attached to the rail, and one of the outer pads was missing entirely. The catalog that came with the rack did not label the individual parts, so I cannot just order the missing part. Now I have to call Malone and see if they can help me out.

I would recommend buying directly from the manufacturer. My original roof rack was never delivered, so etrailer sent me a replacement. The replacement was delivered, but I was told I’d be charged for both racks as they insisted the original rack was delivered. I ended up having to pay $200 for nothing and had to send the replacement back so I would not be double charged. It was a nightmare to deal with, and I hope nobody else has to go through that.
by: AJR07/17/2023
These bars fit perfectly. It was difficult finding bars that were compatible with the 2023 Forester Wilderness edition. The Subaru dealer quoted over $600 for cross bars. Using the resources, reviews and videos from this website, we felt comfortable purchasing these bars. I installed them in less than 30 minutes, and they have worked great...no additional noise or drag. We mounted our Thule 14 cubic foot carrier without issue. Great choice!

Very satisfied with this purchase. The rails shipped to HI much faster than anticipated and fit just as described on my vehicle. The video instructions for installation were also very helpful. Customer service exceeded expectations when I found a piece to be missing. They shipped the replacement part within a week without an extra charge and followed up to make sure I received it. The customer service representative, Carol C, answered all emails and questions in a timely and professional manner. I'll do business to with this company again.
by: Zac08/03/2023
First of all, I have to start with etrailer.com. Outstanding purchasing experience. Great prices, very fast turnaround times, and the message from the company the day of delivery. I will absolutely be working with them in the future. As far as the product, they are very nice, particularly for the money, and very easy to install. I believe it took about 15 mins total. The cross bars in black look great on my Forester Wilderness. Very happy thus far!
by: John 04/13/2024
First off, I haven’t used my racks yet so this is more of a review about each trailer. It turns out that the United States Postal Service had some glitches in their tracking and it took over two weeks to get my racks. Customer service was absolutely amazing and was willing to send me another set of racks if they didn’t show up with a couple days. Luckily, they showed up. Their customer service alone is enough for me to want to use each trailer in the future. Thank you so much you guys for all your awesome customer service.

Appears to be a good product. One installation quirk... loosely position clamps on rail, then measure/cut rubber center weather strips to fit where needed. Remove one clamp from each rail, slide in center strip, return clamps to crossrails, then install crossbars tightly. Installing center rubber strip after-the-fact, as instructions state, is impossible.

I purchased and used the Malone AirFlow2 Food Rack crossbars in silver, for my Forester Subaru several years ago. They have been great except for what most people wrote about in the reviews, the end caps fell off. I gave those crossbars to my daughter and after a lot of research, chose to purchase the Malone AirFlow2 again. This time they have updated and improved the end caps so they are much less likely to fall off. For the price they work really well for my Subaru and kayak that travel many miles, and they are very easy to install. Additionally, I called customer service, and again as other reviews stated, could not have been more pleased with the information Jesse M provided, especially about warranty. Most grateful for the ease and efficiency with which all was communicated. It's easy to speak in a positive manner and spread the word about this company when you are spoken to with respect.

Crossbars were installed on a Forester Wilderness and fit well. They also look and function great. Installation was easy and straightforward. I would positively recommend these.
by: Miche02/13/2024
Great piece of equipment. I've had it on all winter in the PNW, and it is locked in there through the rain, snow and sleet. Was worried it would have issues with some of the things we were moving last month, but it held a bunch of very large, bulky and heavy items, even on the highway, with just a little extra noise and no effect that I noticed on our mileage. Just stick to your car's roof weight capacity when loading it up, and I bet these bars can do the job.

I chose the Malone crossbars for their value and they are a good looking on the car. I’ve never had a roof rack and I felt that the installation was super easy. etrailer shipped them out almost immediately and they showed up a day early. I have mixed feelings about the endcaps, not extremely nice but they do fill the holes on the end. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars. Time will tell. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. Can’t wait to get a bike rack on them.

Installed the 50" Airflow2 bars on a 2024 Outback Wildness. Seem to be a solid set of cross bars. Installation was pretty straight forward. They do produce a little wind noise, but not too bad.
by: Blake05/08/2023
I really like these crossbars. If you tighten them down well there is no vibration, and no wiggle to speak of. The all black model is a nice touch as well. Easy install with the video, but it is pretty intuitive as well. I would buy these again for any future cars.
by: Pamela 02/21/2024
Thank you for expediting this order! I picked it up about three hours ago and as of this time, the crossbar are installed, the kayak racks are installed, and I am ready to load (once I dry off, it is raining!)! I'll be on the road this evening! You did good work!

One of the aluminum rails did not have a hole punched in it to hold the end cap in place.
Had to drill my own hole.

See what our Experts say about this Malone Roof Rack
- Will The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack System Fit a 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness?I'm sorry for the confusion Doug as this is a common issue with our fit guide with vehicles like your 2024 Subaru Outback. On the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR you found we list both excluding Wilderness and Wilderness to say it will fit both you Wilderness and models which are not a Wilderness. We also have the wider 58" System # MAL84AR if you want a bar longer than the 50" bars in the system you found.
view full answer... - Recommended Malone Roof Rack for a 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness Yes, it does. I checked with Malone and the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack item # MAL74AR does attach to the side rails of your 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness and is compatible with your car. If you would like longer crossbars we also have the 58" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack item # MAL84AR that will work with your Subaru.
view full answer... - Can Rhino Rack Sunseeker Roof Rack Awning Fit 2022 Subaru Outback with OEM Roof RackHey Brandon, so the Rhino Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32133 can be used on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon but since it requires crossbars that have a channel on top of them you would also need to add an additional set of crossbars like with the great priced Malone rack part number # MAL74AR that fits the raised side rails of your vehicle. There currently isn't an awning setup that would fit your roof rack directly.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for Using a Thule Hullavator on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness No, the Malone 65" item # MAL24AR isn't going to be long enough. You need 4" - 8" past the legs for the Thule Hullavator's item # TH898 lift assist function to work properly and not hit your car. The Malone may give you 3" or at most 4". Instead I recommend using the roof rack by Rhino Rack with a 71" crossbar for your 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness. Here are the parts you will need: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 71" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA180B-2 Rhino-Rack SX...

I recommend the AirFlow2 for the aerodynamic crossbars.

view full answer... - Does Malone Roof Rack for 2023 Subaru Forester Premium Have Capacity for Basket and PaddleboardThe Malone AirFlow 2 roof rack part number # MAL74AR that you referenced has a 165 lb weight capacity (highest available) so it would easily have the capacity to carry your roof basket and paddle board.
view full answer... - Will Malone 18b Cargo Box Fit OEM Crossbars of 2020 Volkswagen TiguanThe Malone 18b cargo box part # MPG911 would fit the OEM crossbars of your 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan if it was equipped with them. If instead the vehicle just had raised side rails you'd need a roof rack that fits them with the Malone Air Flow2 part # MAL74AR.
view full answer... - Does the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Fit a 2023 Subaru Forester WildernessYes the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR will fit your 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness. The reason it says exclude and including Wilderness is to show that these bars will fit both the Wilderness and non-Wilderness options. It might be a bit confusing to read, but it's used primarily as part of our vehicle fit guide system so that these bars would show up no matter which trim you plugged in.
view full answer... - Will Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Roof Rack Work with Malone AirFlow2 Roof RackYes, the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Roof Rack part # TH834 is compatible with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MAL74AR.

I drive out to Kansas a few times a year myself and I definitely know the drive you're talking about. Your Thule Quest TH846 was actually replaced by the Thule Outbound Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH868 and they install the same way. They have the front and rear straps for crossbars, but Thule also points out that the side anchoring rings can be used if the only anchoring option for your vehicle is the side rails (see attached clip of instructions).

For something that's cost-effective and gets the job done I recommend the Malone AirFlow2, but if you're wanting something with higher quality and will be a better setup for longevity then I recommend the Yakima JetStream system. Here are the parts you'll need for each: Malone...
view full answer... - Is the Malone AirFlow2 Crossbar Roof Rack a Loud or Quiet RackHey Charee, so the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack part number # MAL74AR that you referenced is a quieter roof rack due to the aero shape of the bars but basically all roof racks add some noise. This style is by far the quietest though. Another thing you can try is have the crossbars as far back on the roof as possible as that typically helps reduce noise. Fairings like the part # TH82WV direct the air over the crossbars too which helps reduce sound as well.

I am even more happy to tell you that yes, it will hold your 110 lb rooftop tent so you're set. Also, just in the interest of being thorough, the 50 inch Malone bars are available in both Silver and Black in case you liked one color more than the other.

If you need to transport something smaller, you might be interested in the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR which installs on your raised rails and gives you a way to carry some lightweight items up to 165 lbs. Let me know if this will work out for you and I'd be more than happy to recommend any accessories...

The Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack # INA510 comes with Memory Mount Clamps that will fit perfectly to the 50" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR on your 2023 Subaru Forester. You can use the Aero Crossbar T-Slot Mounting Hardware # INBRP12 if you'd like, but it isn't necessary for this application. I've actually had the opportunity to install this a handful of times and it's my favorite cargo basket/platform that we carry due to how easy it is to install! Attached...

So you will not have to spend a lot of time messing with it when you are done moving. The crossbars are the universal aero-style bars, which are known to be compatible with the sears type cargo boxes. This rack is very solid and is designed...
view full answer... - Replacement Towers for a Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack on a 2019 Jeep CherokeeIt doesn't look like the keys for the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR are not offered as a replacement anymore unfortunately. So, it looks like the only option is to replace the entire towers with the Replacement Towers for Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Crossbars # MAL64VR which would come with a set of new keys and locks.
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness With Roof Top TentI'm assuming you're wanting a roof rack to hold your tent since you looked at the Malone AirFlow2 # MAL74AR. I would double check the requirements of your roof tent to be sure, but this roof rack should be able to handle it. For example, a tent like the Yakima SkyRise # Y07436 requires a roof and roof rack with a minimum capacity of 165 lbs. The Malone rack would meet those requirements. If you only plan to use the roof rack when you use the tent the Malone is a good option. If you want...
view full answer... - Will The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR Fit A 2022 Subaru Outback WildernessHey Michael, Our Fitguide can be a bit confusing sometimes but in this case the entire category of roof racks is split between being compatible or not with Wilderness models. The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR is compatible with both the Wilderness and non-Wilderness models which is why it shows "Excluding Wilderness" and "Wilderness" under the fitment confirmation.
view full answer... - Recommended Crossbars for a 2023 Subaru Forester The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack item # MAL74AR would be a great set of crossbars for your 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness. This system attaches to your Subaru's side rails. Everything you will need to attach the crossbars to your side rails is included. You will not need to purchase extra clamps, feet, or brackets.
view full answer... - Does Malone AirFlow 2 Roof Rack Fit 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness and Rhino Rack Basket # RMCBYes, the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack part # MAL74AR is a confirmed fit for your 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness and also works with the Rhino Rack basket part # RMCB as well.
view full answer... - Will Malone Crossbars Work With Black Raised Rails on a 2022 Jeep CherokeeI spoke with our team and it turns out that the reason you can't use the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR is because the clamps can't clamp around the rails properly. I know on older generations Jeep put black rails on their Cherokee's that were purely cosmetic and that was another reason they couldn't have crossbars put on, so that may be the case here as well.
view full answer... - What Is The Maximum Spread Of The Malone AirFlow2 CrossbarsEffectively you'd have a max spread of 50" if you were to push the legs on the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL74AR to the end of the crossbars. These bars require a minimum of 24" of spread to work, so as long as your Traverse meets the minimum you'll be all set.
view full answer... - Will The Malone Roof RAck MAL74AR Work For Attaching A Yakima Rocketbox 16?Yes, the Malone Roof Rack # MAL74AR for a 2017 Volkswagen All Track will indeed work with the Yakima RocketBox 16. The Rocketbox uses clamps that are designed to be universal. They will fit virtually any crossbar shape, round, square, aero, elliptical ect. They are known to be compatible with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Aero-style crossbars.
