When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or a fully loaded cargo box, you want bars that won’t flex or wobble. These Yakima RoundBars are built from strong, galvanized steel that gives your setup a solid backbone. Each bar is coated in black vinyl to help resist corrosion from rain or salt spray. The sturdy build gives confidence when carrying up to 165 lbs of gear for weekend trips or long hauls.
If your vehicle doesn’t have factory roof rails, this setup has everything you need to get started. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack includes 2 RoundBars, 4 BaseLine towers, 4 adapters, and a custom fit kit designed for secure installation on a naked roof. Once mounted, the system creates a dependable base for cargo boxes, kayak carriers, and other clamp-on accessories.
You don’t need separate bars for each type of trip. These round crossbars are ready for all kinds of adventures—water sports weekends, road trips, or hauling building supplies. They work with accessories and carriers that clamp around the bars, making it simple to switch between kayak cradles, bike racks, or cargo boxes without extra parts.
Weather exposure can quickly wear down unprotected steel, but the black vinyl coating on these bars helps keep rust away while maintaining a clean look. For added peace of mind when parking at trailheads or campgrounds, the setup accepts Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately) that help deter theft of the rack.
These crossbars are made from steel and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, so they’re built to handle years of outdoor use. With their 48" length and 1-1/8" diameter providing dependable strength and stability, you can confidently load up whatever the adventure calls for and hit the road knowing your rack is ready for it.
