When you’re hauling gear like kayaks or a rooftop tent, strength and stability matter most. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack comes with 60" long steel CoreBars that hold up under load, giving you a solid platform rated for 220 lbs. The black vinyl coating keeps the bars protected from corrosion, so they stay looking good and performing strong even after years of weather exposure.
Long road trips can get noisy when wind hits traditional square bars. These CoreBars have an aerodynamic shape that helps cut down on wind drag and noise. It’s a noticeable difference when you’re cruising at highway speeds—less whistling and more conversation or music without turning up the volume.
You don’t need a different setup for every adventure. The full-length bars work with most clamp-on accessories, so you can mount kayak carriers, cargo boxes, or ski racks without special adapters. It’s the kind of versatility that lets you switch from one weekend activity to the next without any hassle.
For vehicles without factory rails, this setup installs securely using BaseLine towers and a custom fit kit that matches your roof’s contours. The design gives you a tight, stable fit that doesn’t damage paint or trim. You get a rack that feels like part of the car rather than something just strapped to it.
If you want to leave your rack on full-time or park with your gear loaded, you can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately). They help deter theft of the rack, so you can rest easy when you’re off exploring or turning in for the night at camp.
