When you’re hauling gear like kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes, you need bars that won’t flex or rust out. These Yakima RoundBars are built from galvanized steel for solid strength and long-term reliability. The black vinyl coating helps protect against corrosion, so they stay looking clean even after years of exposure to the elements. With a 165-lb weight capacity, they handle serious adventure setups without complaining.
Nothing’s worse than a rack that feels loose or uncertain once you’ve loaded up your equipment. This setup uses Yakima Raingutter towers that install directly to your roof’s rain gutters for a secure, custom fit. Once tightened down, the system holds steady mile after mile. It’s a straightforward design that keeps your gear locked in place so you can focus on the road ahead instead of worrying about shifting loads.
If you already have carriers or plan to add more over time, these RoundBars make it easy. The round shape works with accessories and carriers that clamp around the bars—ideal for mixing and matching your existing kayak cradles, cargo boxes, or bike mounts. You don’t have to worry about brand-specific channels or special adapters; just clamp on what you need and go.
When you park at a trailhead or pull into camp overnight, it’s nice knowing your rack can stay put. The towers accept Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores—sold separately—to help deter theft of the rack itself. It’s a small add-on that adds peace of mind whether you’re on a weekend trip or an extended haul across the country.

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.
