When you’re hauling kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear, you want a setup that feels solid no matter the road. This complete system includes 2 aero crossbars, 4 through feet, and a custom fit kit built for stability on a naked roof. With a 165-lb weight capacity and durable aluminum construction, it’s strong enough for heavy loads while keeping things lightweight and easy to handle.
Nobody likes that constant whistling when driving with rooftop gear. The aero-style crossbars have a sleek shape that helps reduce drag and vibration. Push-down rubber strips fill the top channels to seal out airflow, cutting down on noise while you're cruising down the highway. The result is a quieter, smoother trip—no DIY noise fixes required.
Some racks make you trim rubber strips just to install accessories. These bars skip that hassle. The push-down rubber strips let you press hardware straight into the top tracks without cutting anything. It’s quick to mount your carriers or boxes and even quicker to swap them out when adventures change from water to snow.
Whether it’s a cargo box for a long road trip or a kayak cradle for a weekend on the lake, these crossbars are ready for both channel-mount and clamp-on accessories. They work with most universal cargo, water, snow, and bike carriers, so you can use the gear you already have without worrying about compatibility.
When you stop for the night or park at a trailhead, locking your rack adds peace of mind. The leg covers are lockable to help deter theft of the rack itself, keeping your setup secure until you’re ready to hit the road again.

Hi, there, I'm Evangeline right here at etrailer. If you're looking to carry around some cool stuff on top of your 2025 Honda HR-V, like a roof box or maybe some kayaks or even some bikes, well, we're taking a look at one of my favorite roof rack systems for this vehicle. It's gonna be the Inno Roof Rack and this will be a great base for all that great gear for those adventures. It is available right here at etrailer as a full kit. So you have these 51-inch long bars, you have these towers that provide that base, that weight capacity, and you have these hooks and pads that are custom fit for your vehicle. So combining all together, (car door thudding) this is what creates your whole system.
For most situations, this is the one that I usually recommend first, simply because I love Inno as a brand. I've had their roof rack on previous cars and I just love how custom fit and easy they make things. However, depending on your different accessories, you may wanna consider some measurements and knowing some things ahead of time to see if this is compatible with what you are carrying. First off is going to be measurements with where it sits on your roof. Because this is custom design, this is designed for a very specific part of your car, so you have a very specific crossbar spread.
Center to center, (tape measure swishing) from one bar to the other, you have 27 inches. (tape measure snapping) And that crossbar spread is something that you'll look at when you're looking at roof boxes, roof baskets, sometimes skis and snowboards. They require a very specific crossbar spread. Now, that information is available on the accessories on our site if you ever wanna double-check if this will work with maybe the roof box you have in mind. Next up is height.
So there's two measurements here at the top of the roof. The first is, well, how much space do we have for things to clamp around the bars (tape measure swishing) Top of the roof to bottom of the bar is around 3 1/4 inches, maybe 3 1/2, depending where on the roof you measure. (tape measure snapping) That is really good for space. Most items will fit, even some of your U-bolts, wing nuts, old-fashioned style clamps should be good, but it's always worth double-checking beforehand. (tape measure swishing) Next up is the height on top of your roof.
So from the roof to the top of the bar, I have it at around 4 1/4 inches. (tape measure snapping) And that's gonna be where your cargo sits. So picture this, you have some skis you're carrying around, maybe you have some taller bindings. You make sure that those bindings aren't scratching up the top of the roof. If you find you need some extra space, well, a lot of our accessories here at etrailer have options for a little bit of extra height and that should help solve your problems. I've always had a roof rack on my car because I love carrying around kayaks, and having that reliable base is always important. I've always had a smaller car. So something to think about when carrying longer item, like kayaks, is the distance from the crossbars to the top of your hatch door. So here, we have 32 inches, which is a lot of space. (tape measure snapping) This roof rack actually sits a little bit further forward than I was expecting, which is a good thing 'cause then you have all this clearance for larger roof boxes, longer kayaks, canoes, ladders, things like that. Now, if you do happen to carry something that might be a little bit too long or you have clearance issues, then just keep that in mind as you open up your hatch door so you don't run into it. (hatch door thudding) Everything really works together for that full system. Another thing that I like about Inno is it has these lock cores and keys included so you can lock up your system. Your end cap, that's removable if you want to mount things into the channel. So if you wanna fully utilize that 51-inch crossbar space, then go ahead and pull that end cap out, and then you can slide your accessory on through, no cutting of the rubber required. And that's pretty convenient too. Again, I really like that end cap design here. And then, everything tightens down, (end cap snapping) and secures onto your vehicle. So it really is a full and complete system with no extra accessories needed to use the whole thing. The installation process is actually very straightforward. Now, it might seem confusing at first because there's a lot of different parts and pieces, so I'm going to guide you through that process. I already installed the rear crossbar on this vehicle, so we get to install the front crossbar together. So first, we're gonna grab our crossbar. And out of the box, it actually already has the rubber strip attached up top, so no need to install that. We're going to flip the crossbar over, and this is actually probably the most confusing part for most people. It's attaching this metal plate. So underneath your crossbar, you're gonna notice this open tray and this track. We're just gonna slide that tray all the way out to the end of our crossbar, just like that. See how it sticks out like that And then, notice on your plate that there's this little notch in here. That means you go from underneath and then fit this plate up into that tray. And now, we're gonna slide that tray right back in. (tray whooshing) And you're gonna go all the way to the middle, or as close to the middle as you can get, and you're gonna press this button here and continue sliding until the tray is now in this open space, so that you can now attach your tower. So notice on the tower, you're gonna have this bolt and then you're gonna have this tab. All that is gonna line up onto that plate, just like that. (tower clanging) And then, you're going to press this knob here or, I guess, this lever. And this is what we will use to slide the tower out. So you're going to do this on both sides and this will happen four times. To measure out where you put your towers, you're gonna have a center marker on your crossbar and you're gonna have instructions in your fit kit as well. So for what I do is I measure from that center point and then I go out to the line on the tower. So for example, for our front crossbars, that's gonna be 21 inches and 3/8 of an inch. And then, your tape measure will also have the millimeter version if you want that for a little bit more accuracy. Once both towers measure to that distance apart needed, then you're gonna use the Allen key included with your kit to just tighten down on that bolt in between those lines. Then, it's once attach your rubber pads. So for your front towers, they're going to use the pads four to six. So when you put these on the towers, you wanna make sure that the cutout of those rubber pads is facing this way. So the taller portion is towards the inside of the bar. The thinner portion is towards the outside of the bar. You can now lift this onto the roof. So very carefully placing your towers on the roof, that rubber pad will prevent scratching up. Where do you put this Well, there's gonna be a measurement in your instructions that will align from the door seam to the center of the bar. For the front bar, that's going to be 9 3/4 inches. So we wanna make sure that both sides match up with that number. Secure those towers with your hooks. For the front tower, it's gonna be a T115. So these hooks fit onto the tower, and then into your door. And you're gonna have these bolts, as well as this plastic washer and then this metal washer, and that's used to secure it. Now, included with your kit is going to be this Allen key. So the metal part is stored in the knob and you just drop that into place. Now, you're going to use that to tighten down that bolt until your hook is just barely touching the side of your door. (bolts clinking) Now, go to the other side and attach the hook there. It's very important that you evenly tighten down the hooks on both sides because if you pull one side too strong, it will pull the entire system in that direction. By evenly distributing, I tighten this down halfway then tighten that down a couple turns more, and then just going back and forth, you'll then be able to evenly secure the whole roof rack to your roof. As you're tightening down with this tool, (tool clicking) it's actually a torque tool. So once you get to the correct tension, or tightness, this tool will click. And I do recommend having it click at least twice. (tool clicking) That way, you know for sure that you're at the right spot. (tool clicking) So if you are ever wanting to just double-check your towers that they are all tightened down properly, I tend to go through and just tighten them until they all click, just for peace of mind. With everything properly secured, you can now slam the door on your system, (car door slamming) without any worries. And then, final touch-ups, you're gonna put the end caps on. Remember, there's gonna be a left and right end cap, so don't get those confused. (hand tapping) Those fit into place. And then, your tower end caps, put the key in and then pivot those end caps up, turn the key, and now that's secured. (hand tapping) That's gonna be it for the installation of your roof rack. From this point on, something I recommend doing, since you get two keys, I put one on a keychain, the other in the glove box or in the center console. That special tool as well for undoing those hooks, that's something I keep with the key. And that way, if you ever need to remove this roof rack, you can do so, or double-check the tightness on your roof. Now, you can load up your roof rack and hit the road 'cause you just installed the Inno Roof Rack on a 2025 Honda HR-V.
Ratings & Reviews
Product is great. Fits perfectly with some minor measurement adjustments. Can be assembled by one person, but helps to have two. Bought the complete roof kit and well as the Inno 80 basket for a Mazda CX3, took about two hours to assemble everything.
Installation went pretty smoothly. The trick is to fully understand each step before moving to the next. There are a lot of small parts which at first was a little intimidating, but soon I was able to "get with it". I love the finished product and think you helped me get a good deal. Thank you for that
Great racks. High quality parts. Fit perfectly. Went together easily.
Once I realized which bar was the front one and which was the back it was a fairly easy install. Since the measurements for the foot placement were wrong in the instructions I would suggest not tightening the feet all the way to the bars until you put it on the car. It would have been nice if both sets of rubber pads were the same, with the tunnel hook, and if they had adhesive backing to avoid losing them. I added 2 sided tape.
Has worked great for transporting my fishing Kayak as well as small loads of lumber. It has worked fine for about a dozen and a half boards at a time or a couple of sheets of plywood. Just make sure that you have a good way to strap them down as well as maybe a rubber mat to help hold everything in place. The noise from it on the high way can be a lot but certainly not as bad as some that I have heard. I figure that anything on the outside of a vehicle like that will produce some noise.
These feet are easy to use and go well wit the Inno system. I was worried since my car did not come with any roof racks, but this is the solution to haul things on my roof. They work well and are very secure.
Started assembly last summer and finally completed installation this spring. Directions took a lot of attention to detail but were adequate. Rack went on car securely and looks great. Have attached kayak rack and a roof pod and both worked flawlessly. Would definitely recommend.
Ellen was very knowledgable about the product and helpful in getting the exchange processed. And while the product itself seems to be of excellent quality, I did have to trim the crossbars a bit in order for them to fit precisely enough that the plastic pieces that cover the metal hardware could actually fit properly and be locked on, as they are supposed to be. There is no leeway for a non-perfect fit. It would be easy for me to mount a new set if I had to, but doing it for the first time was very time-consuming. The mechanism is somewhat complicated, and the directions were OK but could have been a little clearer on a couple of the procedures. Try it some time and you'll see what I mean.
I have had countless bike racks over the years and this is by far the best system I have ever had. Fits like a glove on my F150. Easy to install, looks great and the bikes do not move when on the roof.
Great Fit for my 2017 Jeep Patriot. Easy install and looks great!
These are made perfectly for your vehicle. They are very secure when combined with the other Inno products. No worries of the rack system coming off. Using them to transport kayaks using kayak holders.
I just received and instilled my rack system. Time will tell, but my initial reaction is that of disappointment with the quality of the system, considering what I spent. The cross bars seem to be plastic, and the end caps on the cross bars seem to be plastic and covered with a faux metal chrome. I am curious to see how well this system holds up to the hot Florida sun. The positive is that I like the general shape of the aero crossbars, and they are relatively quiet when I am driving.
Purchased with the, "Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars," for our 2017 Sienna. Pretty simple to install, maybe 20minutes after reading instructions. Seems solid.
These fit the car along with the other Inno items perfectly. They are very secure when combined with the other Inno products. No worries of the rack system coming off. Using them to transport kayaks using kayak holders.
Tule and Yakima did not have a rack for my Nissan murano. So it was a blessing to find the immo rack. It seems like it can fit any car model. It's strong and secure. I feel my equipment will be safe with this rack.
etrailer was the only vendor who had the custom fit roof rack feet I needed for my vehicle. I was trying to put a roof rack onto a Dodge Durango SRT...not a typical vehicle for this accessory! I looked everywhere for a suitable roof rack and thought I was settling by ordering the Inno kit from etrailer. I could not have been more wrong! I am so happy with the purchase!
Waste of money. Most annoying couple hours spent in a long time. Extremely disappointed. Does not fit well. Not exactly a cheap option, but a cheap option in terms of fit and engineering. The instructions online and in the kits do not agree. But there is no helping the design. Plus there are no universal set of instructions--they are all individual items for the fit kit, the bars, etc. But a reasonably inclined person can figure it out so no big deal, but the engineering design is garbage--requires precise measurement yet the design is such that exact measurement is impossible due to the design.
Additionally, the parts are low quality Either low density plastic or easily stripped bolts. Even when as precise as possible, I wouldn't trust it with my kayak. What a mistake. Do yourself a favor and get a Yakima trailer or similar. It isn't that much more money in the scheme of things and then it isn't tied to your car. Can add a hitch to most vehicles anyway.
I upgraded to these Aero Crossbars hoping it would mean a quieter drive with less wind noise. I am so glad I did. There is not noise at all with these bars. I use them with my roof cargo carrier and I don't even notice it is there. These bars are even strong enough to haul my canoe. I am very pleased with them.
Installation was a little tricky but once the "feet" were attached to the roof and the bars properly spaced, everything wrapped up very well.
There is no noticeable wind noise with these installed.
I bought these as part of a kit with 60" Aero bars and the appropriate kit for my 14 Flex. I spent probably an hour and a half double checking my measurements and getting them torqued down properly. I spaced the bars on top of the car just a little wider than proscribed because I was planning on carrying 4x8 plywood, and it looked better to my eye. One thing to watch for: The instructions for the car-specific kit (in my case INK263) show the foot spacing measurements for a square bar, and the measuring point for these feet and Aero bars is different. That measurement point is indicated in the instructions for the feet, not the kit. Same numbers, just different reference point. Otherwise, they look good and are rock solid.
We recently purchased 2 kayaks & Thule roof racks from our local outdoor store.
After waiting 2 weeks for our roof racks and J bars to come in we found that the Thule racks did not fit our 2017 Lincoln MKX and they didn't make any racks that would. The vehicle does not have roof racks and has a moon roof.
After a couple of days searching the internet we discovered etrailer.com. We found the Inno roof racks, but still was not sure they would work. We spoke to a repesenative and he assured us that the racks we chose would fit and the Thule J bars we did return would also work. As you can see by the photos 2 days later we were happy Kayakers.
Very nice quality, made in Japan. Easy to install using the Inno XS150 base stays. The 51" was a nice size for my 2015 Touareg. Many of the manufacturers recomment wider (53-54"), but I like the narrower profile. Unfortunately, the Aero design still creates a slight bit of wind noise at highway speeds, and it gets worse if the sunroof is raised (vent). I like the soft rubber T-channel material which allows the accessories to mount without cutting the material. I also like the slightly arched shape.
The Inno roof rack is an excellent product and etrailer.com provides exceptional service with videos, email, chat and phone. I bought this roof rack for my 2008 Ford Edge because because there is enough clearance for the moon roof. I use it to mount a 600W solar system for rustic camping instead of a noisy generator. I wish I'd taken a photo... I won't be mounting it again until mid-August 2024.
Worked like a charm. My daughter and I completed a 10K mile, 35 day camping trip around the USA.
