When you’re loading up kayaks, cargo boxes, or camping gear, you want bars that can handle it. These Yakima RoundBars are built from galvanized steel and have a 165-lb weight capacity. They provide a solid foundation for everything from weekend trips to long hauls. The black vinyl coating adds protection against corrosion, so the bars stay looking sharp and strong even after plenty of exposure to the elements.
Getting a secure fit doesn’t need to be complicated. This setup includes 2 RoundBars, 4 Raingutter towers, and 4 HiRise spacers—everything you need for a full roof rack system that installs directly to your vehicle’s rain gutters. The design provides a stable, custom installation that keeps your gear steady on the road.
No need to buy special mounts or adapters. These round crossbars work perfectly with accessories and carriers that clamp around the bars. Whether it’s a kayak cradle, ski rack, or rooftop cargo box, your existing gear fits right on without hassle.
When you leave your gear unattended, peace of mind matters. The Raingutter towers are compatible with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores (sold separately), letting you add theft deterrence to the setup. It’s an easy way to safeguard your rack when you’re parked overnight or at the trailhead.

I had a set of these years ago and needed a roof rack to transport a 12’ ladder. It took awhile to get the order fulfilled but that was mfg supply problems. The follow up was top notch and they arrived earlier than anticipated.
Exactly as pictured, in new condition, ready to go on my truck. I needed to find round bars, as I was using my bike racks from my old system from my Subaru Outback transplanted onto my Nissan Frontier.
Amazing customer service!! Had a small issue with shipping to start but after a phone call Noah took care of it right away. Received product just in time for our trip and will be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks so much George, Noah and Carol. Can’t say enough how much I appreciate you.
Got just what I ordered, quickly. Yakima rack system. For 2008 van, now I need to order one more set.
As always E trailer handled my order extremely well. Kept me updated on shipping also. Very professional!
Yakima stuff is pretty good. If it were not so over priced (and this retailer gave the best deal) I'd rate it 4 stars. However, I know from past experience that Yakima bars, despite coating on the current bars that is significantly thinner than older bars, will rust if used near water. They sell this stuff for water sports! And then act surprised that it rusts. Since I have a lot of their stuff and old rusty bars I bought these as a replacement despite my misgivings.
The foregoing is NOT a criticism of this vendor who sold the stuff at a good price compared to what Yakima wants and delivered it promptly
Yakima rack arrived a day earlier than expected. All the parts were there instructions were clear took about half hour to install. The rack is a little noisy at highway speed. Darn, guess I'll have to take the back roads! Thumbs up to both etrailer and Yakima.
These extra long round bars have been awesome. They allow us to carry 2 17ft long canoes on our car or a skybox and a canoe. They poles are sturdy and allow for plenty of storage.
My only recommendation would be to add a wind breaker because the bars are the least arrow dynamic and make noise over 65mph.
Awesome Company!
In the time of COVID doing business with this company was a great experience. I was kept informed by email by their CSR team as to when they would ship product and when it would arrive. Worked like a champ. Product fit my 1974 VW Baja as promised and now I can finally add the much needed Roof Rack System.
Thanks etrailer for being there and taking such care of your customers.

The customer service is exceptional. Nick went above and beyond getting the package out as well as dedicated follow-up. I will be ordering another roof rack for another vehicle. Even the return process was seamless thanks to Shelia. I ordered a tow hitch wiring harness a few months ago and received the same great service. Will continue to do business with etrailer.
It's hard to find Yakima parts. I own a Rack and Roll trailer and I know. Got these round cross bars at a great price. Free shipping. And most importantly, even with all the current shipping problems I got them in just a few days. These guys hustle and really work for your business. I'm soon getting a new suv and will absolutely buy my trailer hitch from etrailer.
the part is what it is. all prices are similar online. What sets etrailer apart is the customer service. you call and you get an empowered, cheery, competent individual. I had two cancellations I did (not their fault) and they handled both quickly, easily, and with a cheerful disposition. Excellent customer service.
The Yakima bars I used for the roof rack system on my truck are great. Now, combined with the rack system on my topper shell, I have the length to support long objects like long boards, boxes of siding or ladders. However, it is the fantastic customer service from etrailer.com that will have me going to them the next time I need items for my truck. I tried to order this rack system from a competitor and waited 4 months before they finally just gave up and cancelled my order. One call to etrailer.com customer service and I had the complete rack system I needed in less than three weeks. The representative I spoke with spent over an hour helping me identify the items I needed. That is the kind of service I will not forget.
Been using Yakima products for decades. First use as a teen on a 1974 Chrysler Newport for a canoe. Still buying their products. Handing down canoe with Yakima racks for their vehicle. Why change a good combination?
So far so good. Have had hitch for a year and it’s a game changer. Can reveal it quickly and throw on a bike rack to carry 4 bikes including an ebike. Amazes me that it’s so solid. But it is. And invisible when not in use
I bought a new bottom plastic panel for my Tesla model 3 from Tesla.
Did an excellent job guys. The Yakima towers arrived on time and in good shape. Mounted right up to the canopy clips, installed the existing bars, kayak racks, and lock cores without any issues. All is ship-shape now. Will definitely come back to you guys again.
Thanks!
etrailer never disappoints! Every product I need, I check that etrailer has it before purchasing anywhere else. Thank you for the excellent service, the fast delivery, and the email updates on order status.
I chose the Yakima A1 raingutter towers for mounting a 96" Yakima crossbar for my Humvee wildfire rig rooftop gear rack. The towers are sturdy and able to handle the constant jarring expected in wild land fire fighting in rugged terrain.
The crossbars are outstanding they are working perfectly with the towers I had to buy for my Honda odyssey roof rack I forgot the name of them I have my YAKIMA space Cadet rocket box on top of the bars in addition to my YAKIMA ski racks
I received the Rain gutter riser, 66' round bars, boat loader and SKS lock cores all well packaged and in good shape. These are for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon. The products were easy to install and will work great for loading and transporting my Hobie Outfitter Kayak. The Outfitter is a heavy kayak at 75 lbs unloaded. The Yakama Boat loader makes it easy for one person to load and unload the kayak. The rain gutter mounts and round bars securely hold the kayak for transportation. When not transporting the kayak the whole system quickly removes.
A big plus with ordering through etrailer is the excellent custom service, they will be my go to for future orders.
Thank again, etrailer. You always have what I’m looking for. I already had the bars, but I needed the towers.
The yellow pads on the crossbars are pool noodles secured by zip ties. They provide padding for a third or even a fourth kayak.
roof racks showed up in great condition, and showed up as one package.... I should have ordered the J racks from here but I found them cheaper locally so Thule J racks compliment the whole setup and i am just about ready to hit the water :)
Works perfectly
I changed vehicles from a regular cab truck to a crew crab (both with a bump up topper). Using a Yakima rack with Q towers for canoes, this caused the bow to crash with the roof. The Yakima risers were exactly what was needed to raise the canoe above the cab roof. Remove rivets with a rotary tool and the supplied hardware is all that was needed to raise the crossbars.
