When you’re hauling kayaks, camping gear, or a cargo box, the last thing you want to worry about is flex or weakness up top. The Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack uses steel CoreBars that combine heavy-duty strength with an aerodynamic shape. Each bar measures 60" long x 2-3/4" wide x 1" tall and supports up to 220 lbs (always check your vehicle’s maximum roof load). The black vinyl coating protects the bars from corrosion, so they stay solid and good-looking trip after trip.
Extra wind noise can make long drives tiring. These aero-style crossbars keep air moving smoothly over the rack to help reduce drag and sound compared to basic square bars. It’s a small detail that makes highway travel quieter and more comfortable when you’re loaded up for a road trip or heading out for a weekend adventure.
The full-length design gives you plenty of room to mount the gear you already have. These bars work with accessories and carriers that clamp around the bars—like kayak cradles, ski holders, or rooftop boxes—so you can take what you want without needing special adapters. It’s a versatile setup ready for all seasons and activities.
The BaseLine system provides a custom installation on naked roofs using fit kits made for your setup. Each tower locks securely in place to keep your gear stable and your roof protected. For extra peace of mind, Yakima Same Key System (SKS) lock cores are available separately to deter theft of the rack when parked overnight.
A good roof rack should feel like part of your vehicle, not an afterthought. With its steel construction, corrosion-resistant black coating, and limited lifetime warranty, this Yakima system is made to handle years of hauling kayaks, gear boxes, and camping loads without losing its integrity or style.
