These CoreBar crossbars combine the strength of steel with an aerodynamic shape, giving you a setup that feels solid and dependable on every trip. Rated for up to 220 lbs, the bars can handle heavy kayaks, canoes, or cargo boxes without flexing. Whether you’re heading out with watercraft or packing up for a long road trip, the steel construction keeps everything securely supported.
Roof racks don’t have to mean loud highway noise. The CoreBar’s aero-style design cuts through the air smoothly, helping reduce drag and wind sound while you drive. Even on long trips or at higher speeds, the aerodynamic shape makes for a noticeably quieter experience so you can focus on the road instead of rack noise.
Versatility is built into this system. The full-length CoreBars are compatible with most accessories that clamp around the bars—like kayak carriers, bike racks, cargo boxes, and ski holders. You’re not locked into one setup, so you can switch gear from season to season without needing new crossbars.
Each bar has a black vinyl coating that protects against corrosion and holds up to regular outdoor use. The complete system includes 2 CoreBars, 4 BaseLine towers, and a custom fit kit designed for secure installation on a naked roof. You can also add Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) for theft deterrence when you leave your rack mounted between trips.
Yakima backs this system with a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting its durability and reliability over years of use. From daily hauls to big adventures, the BaseLine Roof Rack gives you a tough, quiet, and adaptable platform for whatever gear you need to bring along.

Functionally solid after one year of use. I couldn’t be happier with the product.

I still love my Yakima Roof Rack. Have not had any negative issues. Am getting ready to put it on my Subaru Impreza for the SpringSummer season. Would definitely purchase it again and recommend it to my kayaking friends.

I’ve lost a second cover. Some shifting of the rack but I use it weekly.
