The flush design of the Yakima BaseLine FX Roof Rack keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline, giving it a streamlined, factory-style look without any bar ends sticking out. The integrated crossbar and tower system sits low and clean, keeping the roofline neat while still offering full function for hauling gear.
When you’re cruising on the highway with gear up top, wind noise can quickly wear on you. These aero-style aluminum crossbars are built to cut through the air smoothly, helping reduce drag and vibration. The push-down rubber strips in the top channels fill the gaps around mounts and help keep whistling down so you can enjoy a quieter drive.
This setup is ready for whatever adventure you have in mind. The bars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can easily switch between carrying bikes, kayaks, skis, or a cargo box. It’s a flexible system that lets you make the most of your trips year-round.
Durability is key when you’re carrying valuable gear on your roof. These aluminum crossbars have a 165-lb weight capacity, giving them strength for boats, boxes, and bulky camping gear. They’re tough enough for long drives and resist corrosion from weather exposure.
If you want to secure your rack and accessories when parked overnight or at a trailhead, you can add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores. Sold separately, they help deter theft of both the rack and your channel-mount accessories without complicating your setup.

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.
