When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or camping gear, strength matters. These Yakima RoundBars are made from galvanized steel to supply a solid backbone for your roof rack setup. The material stands up to heavy use and tough weather, giving you a dependable base for trips that demand stability and support. With a 165-lb weight capacity—always following your vehicle’s maximum roof load—you get the muscle you need for long hauls.
Road grime, salt, and rain can wear down ordinary metal bars over time. These crossbars are wrapped in a black vinyl coating that helps resist corrosion while keeping the finish looking clean. You get durability that lasts season after season without the worry of rust spots creeping in.
From cargo boxes to kayak cradles or bike holders, these round crossbars are designed for accessories that clamp around the bars. That means you can use the outdoor gear carriers you already have without needing specialized mounts. It’s straightforward and versatile, letting you set up for any trip with minimal fuss.
If you like leaving your rack on between adventures, it’s ready for Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, sold separately. Once added, the locks deter theft and let you secure the whole setup with one key. It’s simple protection for your gear whether you’re parked at a trailhead or overnight at camp.

Perfect. It makes changing out to load my kayak super simple.

Replacement product has served me well. I still have these roundbars in storage but plan on selling them soon. Use the measure twice cut once mantra when you get the bars tightened down after evening them out after measuring because the towers will dig into the black coating. Be careful with the end caps as well. They are a little tough to push in but apply some sort of lubricant to help it go in otherwise you risk cracking the end caps.

Took them on a 5000 mile road trip across the border. Stayed tight never loosened, kept everything secure. Unfortunately, I no longer have that vehicle and my current one, it does not fit. Do you know anybody who might want to buy it? It is in almost new shape!
