The flush design of the Yakima BaseLine FX keeps the crossbars tight to the roofline, giving your setup a clean, factory look. With no crossbar overhang, everything appears streamlined and intentional. It’s a complete roof rack system that includes 2 BaseLine FX crossbars with towers and a custom fit kit, so it sits low and looks like it belongs there.
Wind noise can make a long drive tiring, but these aero-style aluminum crossbars are built to help reduce it. Their aerodynamic shape smooths airflow over the roof, while push-down rubber strips in the top channels close around your mounts to cut down on whistling and vibration. The result is a quieter, more comfortable ride whether you’re heading down the highway or cruising through town.
This rack makes it easy to bring what you need for every trip. The bars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars—so your bike racks, kayak cradles, ski carriers, and cargo boxes can all be part of the same setup. Plus, Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) can be added to help deter theft of both the rack and channel-mounted gear.
You can count on the strength of an aluminum build that’s designed to carry up to 165 lbs—just remember to observe your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity. Each bar measures 44-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall or 48-3/4" long x 5" wide x 3-1/2" tall, giving plenty of support for your cargo. It’s a sturdy system that holds up for all kinds of adventures while keeping weight down and durability high.
When you invest in a Yakima rack, it’s built to go the distance. The BaseLine FX comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so you can load up your gear knowing it’s designed for years of reliable use in all kinds of weather and travel conditions.

2-years into owning my system: I have had the rack on the vehicle for 2-years and never removed it. Every 3-4 months i check the performance of the base clips and they have never come lose. I think best practice is to always check the stability of the rack however i have never had a problem and the system has always stayed tight and firm. Its been a great system for the vehicle.
