Question:
I have a 2012 Acura MDX with no factory roof rack. I want to carry ONE bike on the top and a enclosed cargo box I have a family of 5 total and we all mountain bike, take lots of gear to Two Rivers here in Missouri and go to Bentonville, Arkansas when we can. What roof rack system would you recommend to safely carry One bike on top one of the lighter 25 lb. mountain bikes and as much gear as we could pack into a box? I looked at these Inno, SportRack SkyLine XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 Cubic Feet, Item # SR7095, AND the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum AND 2012 Acura MDX Roof Rack by Inno Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 58inch Long - Qty 2 Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black - Qty 4 Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet Part Numbers: INB147,INSUT,INK590 again, I defer to you and would take any recommendation for any brand or combination you feel works well to carry one bike and as much gear safely on top of the SUV as we could. I am not sure what case will fit side by side with a bike rack, be able to open rear hatch..carry a safe load etc. Thank you in advance !

Expert Reply:
The Inno Square Crossbar System part # INB147, part # INSUT, and part # INK590 is an excellent cost effective option for a 2012 Acura MDX and it even comes with locks for security. It can then be used for a bike rack like the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack part # INA389 and a cargo box like the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box part # SR7095. The two should fit together width wise no problem and because the cargo box has a higher profile rather than longer length it should clear the hatch just fine as well.
