When you’re loading up kayaks, canoes, or a cargo box for a long trip, you want a rack that feels rock solid. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack uses steel CoreBars that deliver serious strength and stability under load. Each bar is 60" long and built to handle up to 220 lbs, giving you the confidence to strap down heavy gear without worrying about flex or wobble. The black vinyl coating keeps the steel protected from corrosion, so it stays looking clean even after years of use.
Driving with a full roof setup can get noisy fast, but these bars are designed to stay quiet. Their aerodynamic shape helps smooth airflow over your roof so you can actually hear your music or conversation on the highway. That means less whistling and drag when you’re heading out fishing, camping, or road-tripping with a loaded roof. The aero design adds performance and comfort on every drive.
From paddleboards in summer to ski carriers in winter, this rack can keep up with your gear changes. The CoreBars work with most accessories and carriers that clamp around the bars, giving you flexibility across brands and setups. Whether it’s a kayak cradle, cargo box, or awning, you can swap attachments as your adventures change without needing a different rack system.
When you park for the night at a campground or trailhead, security matters. This rack is ready for Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores, sold separately, that help deter theft of the rack itself. It’s an easy add-on that keeps your setup secure while you’re away from your vehicle.
The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack isn’t just a pair of bars—it’s a complete system that includes 2 CoreBars, 4 BaseLine towers, and a custom fit kit for your vehicle’s naked roof. Everything works together for a secure fit that looks clean and performs reliably trip after trip. With its sturdy construction and thoughtful design, it’s ready to carry whatever your next outing demands.

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.

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