The Yakima BaseLine FX roof rack keeps things clean and streamlined with a flush design that hugs the roofline. The crossbars don’t stick out past the towers, so the setup looks like it came built-in, not bolted on. It gives your ride a neat, low-profile look while still carrying a full load of gear.
Roof racks can get noisy on the highway, but these aero-style aluminum bars are shaped to cut through the wind. The rubber strips that run along the top channels help reduce wind noise and vibration while you drive. The result is smoother airflow and a quieter ride without having to tinker with extra fixes.
This rack is ready to handle whatever you want to bring along. It works with both channel-mount and clamp-on attachments—so whether it’s bikes, kayaks, cargo boxes, or ski carriers, you’re set for every season. You can use the gear you already own without worrying about compatibility.
Mounting on a naked roof doesn’t have to be a hassle. This system comes as a complete setup with 2 BaseLine FX crossbars, towers, and a custom fit kit all designed to install directly on a bare roof. Everything integrates cleanly without extra parts hanging off or needing factory rails.
Built from durable aluminum, these black crossbars are made to carry heavy gear with confidence. They have a weight capacity of 165 lbs—just keep within your vehicle’s roof load limit. They come in two sizes—44-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall and 48-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall—giving you solid support for everything from kayaks to camping gear.
Ratings & Reviews
Great product, very sturdy and easy to install.
Search by vehicle made it easy to find and order, order came in time.
fast and correct delivery
Great fit, holds tight to roof.
Order was as expected, all good here!
Secure
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.
I have a 10th gen Civic sedan and I was dying to get the perfect roof rack set for my car. At the time of my purchase there was not many visuals of what the rack system looked like on this car.
I purchased the:
•Yakima 50in Jetstream crossbars
•Yakima baseline towers
•bc182 & bc183 clips
•Yakima 46in fairing
Overall I love how it looks on my car! During This COVID pandemic I have been camping more, and this is the perfect foundation! First off, the 46in fairing is the perfect fit for the 10th gen civic! Wind noise is low also with the help of the aerodynamic crossbars. My main concern was the fuel efficiency. On long road trips I still average 38-40 mpg with the rack on. My daily commutes I average 34 mpg without Econ on.
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.
